Situated in a quiet parallel street of Viale Giuseppe Mazzini, Osteria Scaloni is a delicious place to have lunch or dinner. It is a small and intimate restaurant furnished with lovely wooden tables and chairs, and a cozy and pleasant atmosphere perfect for a dinner with your friends, colleagues or partner.
