A Casa De Giorgio in Conegliano | Traditional Venetian Cooking & Local Wines

The kitchen and its origins

A Casa De Giorgio in Conegliano anchors its Venetian cooking tradition in decades of local hospitality. Recent guide recognition confirms what regulars already know: Ermanno Ongaro masters traditional Treviso cuisine passed down through generations. He opened the doors in 2009 following ten years at the Michelin-starred Tre Panoce and twenty-eight years managing the Salisa. His son Mario now acts as maître and head sommelier, curating the wine list while protecting those foundational techniques.

Signature plates and seasonal focus

The menu turns attention to regional staples and carefully sourced proteins. Guests frequently order the signature snails prepared in the house style, alongside whipped salt cod served with polenta crostini. Hearty meat courses feature oven-braised veal cheek and grilled Black Angus steak, while pasta lines highlight homemade pesto linguine and cacio e pepe. This Italian kitchen relies on precise seasoning rather than heavy sauces.

The dining room and cellar

Vintage photographs and retired farming implements line the walls, creating a backdrop that feels lived-in rather than staged. Football memorabilia occupies several shelves, reflecting Giorgio’s personal interests outside the kitchen. The space comfortably seats diners who come for the food and stay for the roughly eighty wine labels selected by Mario. A simple white tablecloth sits beside hand-thrown ceramic plates, grounding the experience in quiet comfort.
