The story
For a city not typically celebrated for its burger scene, Royal Burger in Piacenza has quietly become a local sensation. Tucked away on Via Emilio Perinetti, this no-frills sandwich shop earns its stellar 4.7-star rating by doing one thing exceptionally well. As creator Giuliacrossbow put it, it’s “an incredible value burger joint with huge, delicious burgers made fresh to order, a true local institution.” The namesake Royal Burger leads the lineup, served in a casual, counter-seating setting with an open kitchen that lets you watch the action unfold.
The appeal here is pure, unpretentious street food done right. It’s family-friendly, neighborhood-focused, and decidedly unglamorous—exactly the kind of place locals guard jealously. For travelers in search of Piacenza’s soul rather than its tourist trail, Royal Burger offers a genuine taste of the city’s everyday excellence.

The Royal Burger itself earns raves for its juicy, perfectly seasoned patty. Reviewers overall describe the food as a warm, satisfying indulgence that hits the spot.
“This is the biggest burger I've ever eaten in my life. The bun is toasted and grilled on the spot, really crunchy. Inside there's egg, prosciutto, cheese, and a huge hamburger. The meat is cooked perfectly with a beautiful crust, not dry at all. The ingredients are abundant. The prosciutto is grilled and super crunchy. The cheese is a spicy scamorza. For €9.50 it's an absolute steal.”
