Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Ca' De' Mazzi, Osteria San Lorenzo is a small yet captivating diner that offers an authentic taste of traditional Italian hospitality and cuisine. This rustic tavern, located on Via S. Colombano, 3, is a hidden gem where genuine warmth meets locally sourced, fresh ingredients to create truly memorable meals.
From the moment you step inside, the friendly presence of Beppe and his dedicated staff envelops you in a sincere and inviting atmosphere, making you feel more like a cherished guest in a friend’s home rather than just a diner. The ambiance itself is simple and cozy, perfectly complementing the hearty, authentic dishes served here.
The menu is a celebration of regional flavors and time-honored recipes. Guests rave about the salamella, described as a divine gift to the palate, and the ravioli ripieni al ragù, which offers a luscious blend of tender pasta filled with rich, savory meat sauce that seems to transport you straight to the heart of Italy. Another must-try is the gnocco fritto, served with an array of fresh local salumi and tangy giardiniera, delivering an irresistible crunch and burst of taste.
Beyond the mains, Osteria San Lorenzo excels with delicate touches such as the crespelle—thin, savory crepes filled and cooked to perfection—and the tagliere con torta fritta e salumi, showcasing fresh, cured meats paired with perfectly fried dough. To round off your meal, indulge in the homemade crostata and tiramisù crafted by Beppe himself, alongside a glass of the local Roverone wine that beautifully complements the rich flavors presented.
Reviews consistently highlight the restaurant’s meticulous care and passion. Patrons appreciate the “pleasant and genuine” vibe, the “very available” staff who go out of their way to create a welcoming experience, and the “excellent” quality of ingredients that promise every bite is fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The balance of rustic charm with exceptional cuisine makes Osteria San Lorenzo not just a meal stop, but a heartfelt culinary journey.
If you seek an authentic slice of Italian countryside dining where every dish tells a story and every visit feels like coming home, Osteria San Lorenzo is a must-visit destination. Its comforting flavors and sincere hospitality will leave a lasting impression long after your last bite.

All' osteria san Lorenzo sarete accolti da Beppe e il suo staff, da una gentilezza e simpatia genuine e non comuni. Il cibo è ottimo, in particolare le sue crespelle. Ottimo anche il tagliere con la torta fritta e i salumi della zona, tutti freschissimi. Consiglio anche il vino locale Roverone e crostata e tiramisù del signor Beppe. Valentina, Ceci, Dani, Fede
