Osteria de Plaça Sant Francesc

We had lunch at the Osteria de Plaça de Sant Francesc in Palma. The square is enchanting, the restaurant has five or six outdoor tables and a cosy interior.

The house wine, a Portuguese Douro, impressed with fruity aromas. At 8 euros a glass, generously poured — a fair deal.

I chose fusilli with salsiccia ragù — a delight. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce rich and well-rounded.

The panna cotta was perfect in both flavour and texture. One of the best I've ever had.

Service was charming and friendly, if not particularly fast. We paid around 90 euros for two with several glasses of wine.

If you're looking for classic Italian cuisine without frills, give the Osteria a try!
