About Us

A family business

four generations of restaurateurs deeply linked to Piacenza and its traditions.

In Pier’s family, catering has always been a family business: from an early age he decides to devote himself to another professional career, crowning his desire to become a commercial pilot.
He always keeps alive his desire to open his own place despite his travel around the world. In 1993 he meets Germana, the flight attendant who will become his wife.

Their lives are full and fulfilled, but Pier’s desire is shared by Germana and finally in 2018 the BARZAC (acronym of the two surnames) is opened in Milan, a few steps from the Central Station.

BARZAC. FEELS LIKE HOME.

The Pasta

Our pasta, even the gluten-free one, is made strictly by hand, always, every day.

The First Dishes

Handmade pasta is served as the Piacenza tradition wants: stuffed! Tortelli, ravioli, anolini with carefully selected beef stew,
Finally the Pisarei and faśö, but also apparently less traditional dishes, such as tagliatelle with gorgonzola and crispy raw ham

The Meats

In winter, the menu is enriched with meats served with polenta and incredible side dishes: boiled meats, wild boar, roe deer, cooked salami, horse tartare and raw meat from Piacenza, the little of horse, lamb and stews.

The Cold Cuts

The Barzac cured meats come from a historic producer in Alseno, who follows the entire process: from breeding, to slaughtering, to stuffing.

The Desserts

In addition to the famous sbrisolona, you will find a selection of classic homemade desserts: semifreddo with amaretto, tiramisu, Vignola chocolate cake with almonds, rum and extra dark chocolate, served with ice cream or whipped cream always homemade (always).

The Wines

At Barzac you will find the proposals of important wineries and producing crazy wines. For example, the typical "wines of the past", the classic method, without sulphites, untreated, unfiltered, organic, aged up to 10-14 years. And then the more modern wines, a little more elaborate, with incredible sapidity, taste, aroma and aromas.
