Hosteria Giusti

Founded in 1605 as Salumeria Giusti and standing within the walls of an old slaughterhouse, this is said to be the oldest deli in the world. There are only four tables and some antiques furnishing the place. In summer, four more tables are placed outside and surrounded by pots of grapevines. The street on which it sits is a medieval lane, with an 18th-century tower and the Church of St. George. We are especially fond of their homemade pasta, pappardelle with duck, or their tagliatelle with streaky bacon. Other specialties are a capon broth tortellini, or pigeon flavored with balsamic vinegar. A signature dish is the plate of stuffed pigs' trotters with lentils. Worth the trek across town is cotechino fritto con zabaione based on a recipe from the 17th century. This is an Italian fresh pork sausage that is creamy and delicate in flavor.
