La Giarrettiera - Osteria

Chef Simone Bicego’s philosophy at Osteria La Giarrettiera is a rigorous study in Venetian seasonality, where traditional roots are elevated through contemporary technical clarity. The kitchen executes a standout Venetian sorana tartare, served on veal marrow to provide a luxurious, coating mouthfeel and a deep mineral intensity. A hallmark of the Bicego narrative is the double-cooked quail, which is precisely seared and then roasted to achieve a resilient, crisp skin and a succulent core, paired with the sharp bitterness of wild radicchio. The aroma of baccalà mantecato, whipped to a silken consistency, permeates the Valdagno space with its clean, oceanic sweetness. Texture is a primary focus, exemplified by the robust Ripasso risotto which is expertly mantecata with Monte Veronese cheese for a dense, earthy profile. This establishment serves as a bastion of Veneto gastronomy, where the marriage of local ingredients and refined heat management reflects absolute culinary craft.
