Pre neki dan sam pozvala drugaricu posle posla i rekla joj da je vodim na ručak. Jedini uslov koji sam navela je da hoću da me odvede na odlične lazanje. Odmah je rekla da idemo u Piano Loco.
Piano Loco je picerija na Voždovcu, deo grada u koji ne idem često, tako da nije bilo prilike da ovde ranije svratim. Odmah su me osvojili ambijentom koji odiše ne samo domaćinskom, već i nekom prijatnom, opuštenom atmosferom. Drvene stolice, različitog tipa, među kojima ima i onih kakve ima moja baka, ne može da u meni ne izazove osećaj porodične topline, gde se po pravilu dobro jede. Klavir, veliki šank od cigle, gomila detalja koji takođe vraćaju u detinjstvo i osećaj da ste kod bake su već odličan preduslov da odavde ponesem dobre utiske. Na raspolaganju vam je i bašta, u kojoj ću sedeti prvom prilikom, kad vremenske prilike dozvole.

Meni je italijanski, pa kome je do ovih specijaliteta, biće veoma zadovoljan izborom. Mi smo za početak, kao zakusku, uzele Bruskete Primavera (RSD 300), a kao glavno jelo Lazanje Della Casa (RSD 650) i Salatu Ala Bistecca (RSD 950). Kad sam probala bruskete, koji se sastoje od paradajza, mocarele, sosa od belog luka i, moje omiljene, rukole, na odlično pečenom, hrskavom hlebu, probudila su mi se sva čula i otvorio apetit za dalje uživanje. Što se tiče lazanja, drugarica je bila u pravu, ovo su zaista najbolje koje sam do sad jela u Beogradu! Ukusno, mekano testo, koje se bukvalno topi u ustima, sa šunkom, gorgonzolom, paradajzom i bešamel sosom, servirano u vatrostalnoj posudi, od mene dobija najviše ocene. Salata nije mogla da omane, posle ovako dobrih utisaka prethodnih jela. Biftek salata je uvek odličan izbor, po mom mišljenju, jer pored toga što će vas zasititi, to je uvek dobar spoj mesa i povrća. Paradajz, paprika, rukola, miks zelenih salata, kapar, masline, susam, dresing i biftek su kombinacija koja se retko kome neće svideti.

Cene su prosečne, sasvim opravdavaju ono što dobijete, što kvalitetom, što kvantitetom. Ovo je mesto koje se svima sviđa, i porodičnim ljudima i nama koji posle posla hoćemo da uživamo u slobodnom vremenu, i mlađima i starijima. Posebna pohvala za i više nego prijatno osoblje.
Kad sledeći put budete poželeli da jedete odlične lazanje, Piano Loco je tu, nigde ne ide, a ako biste ipak italijansku kuhinju u kućnoj varijanti, imaju i opciju dostave.

The other day after work, I called my friend and said that I’m taking her to lunch. The only thing I asked for was for her to take me someplace with great lasagna. She immediately said we’re going to Piano Loco.
Piano Loco is a pizzeria in Vozdovac, a part of the city I don’t visit often, so that’s why I didn’t stop by sooner. I immediately liked the ambiance, full of not only homey but also pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Mismatched wooden chairs, and among them the ones that my grandmother has, they make me feel like I’m at home with my family and of course, good food. A piano, a big brick bar, a bunch of details that also bring me back to childhood and make me feel like I’m at grandma’s, just those things are good enough for me to leave this place with good impressions. There is also a garden, and I will visit it on the first occasion, when the weather conditions allow it.

The menu is Italian, everyone who likes these specialties will be very pleased with the choice. For starters, we chose Bruschetta Primavera (RSD 300), and for the main dish Lasagna Della Casa (RSD 650) and Insalati Ala Bistecca (RSD 950). The moment I tried the bruschetta, which consisted of tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic sauce and, my favorite, rocket salad, on top of the perfectly-baked crispy bread, it only whetted my appetite for further enjoyment. As for lasagna, my friend was right, really the best I've ever tried in Belgrade! A delicious, soft pasta dough, it literally melted in my mouth, made with ham, Gorgonzola, tomato and bechamel sauce, served in a casserole, this dish gets the highest mark from me. After such good impressions of the previous dishes, the salad couldn’t be any different. In my opinion, Steak salad is always an excellent choice, because in addition to filling your tummy, the combination of meat and vegetables is always a good choice. The combination of tomato, bell pepper, rocket salad, mixed green salad, capers, olives, sesame seeds, salad dressing and beefsteak is something almost everyone likes.

The prices are average, completely justified for what you get, both in quality and in quantity. This is a kind of place that everyone likes, families, old and young people, and us, people who want to enjoy our free time after work. All praise for more than polite staff.
The next time you want to eat great lasagna, think of Piano Loco, they won’t go anywhere, and if you prefer to eat something Italian at home, they also do deliveries.
Love, Angie Gastro police!!
