Had lunch at this cute restaurant with local friends from Milan who have a place in Monferrato -…read morealways trust the locals! And it was worth it, especially because we were given a full, massive room just for ourselves. Recently renovated, it delivers great food at a leisurely pace: come here to relax, enjoy the scenery and the local delicacies, no need to be in a hurry. I recommend the mixed menu, which comes with four sections: veggie sufflè with a cheesy creamy, vitel tonné, the always excellent fassone tartare and an egg and onion quiche. At that price, it's a steal. The pastas are all home-made, and highly recommended, although I ended up ordering a tagliata while savoring a ravioli or two from my neighbors' dish. In Piedmont the cheese selection is also notable, the best way to end a meal, accompanied by the classic "grissini" (a sort of dry bread sticks). If you're in Monferrato, this is a good spot for both lunch and dinner (closed on Tue night and Wed); they don't have an outdoor space but the quality more than makes up for it. Visa credit cards are accepted. E buon appetito.

Perhaps it was just the kind of food and other people would like it. We had the vegetable salad, which was apparently grilled vegetables in a mayonnaise base. It reminded me of egg salad. We had the mushroom risotto, which was actually pretty good, but I had it a few nights earlier, at another restaurant where I thought it was exceptional. Finally, we had the braised beef in a Barolo wine sauce. Sorry, not good at all. We had the cheese tray, which was delightful. We had the best bottle of wine I've ever had. The service was fabulous. Our server was so kind and had everything split for us. I really wanted to like the food and maybe it was just a bad night. I thought the ambience in the front of the restaurant was more Italian authentic. The back was a little more eclectic but still nice. My favorite part was a bottle of wine that our server recommended and the complementary appetizer they gave us. The cheese selection was great. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back and try them again because I think they just had a bad night.

Each course was amazing, some of the tastiest food either of us had ever eaten. The ragu sauce was cooked slowly to release amazing flavors, while the ravioli was delicately flavored with sage. And the tiramisu was beautifully light while the panna cotta had sweetness beautifully balanced by a bitter sauce. But the service and kindness Diego and Julia showed made the whole experience magical! Whenever we hesitated choosing a course, Diego just brought us a small portion of each option. Even when the kitchen ran out of tiramisu, Julia found a sample and brought it out to us (adding to our dessert sampler). Somehow the bill came to a ridiculously low amount, and then Diego tried to offer us a discount (along with limoncello). We definitely declined the discount and eagerly accepted the limoncello. Diego and Julia, a sincere thank you for the experience!

The kitchen is run by the owner who serves the dishes herself along side her staff; she makes the best Angolotti del plin in the Region, as well as delicious beef tartar, vitello tonnato, and tarajin pasta in a ragu. Of course you can find all the great wines of the Piedmont Region on the wine list. You will not find many tourists here; mostly locals. This is a restaurant not to be missed. Reservations required. Highly recommended.

Not a big deal, they let you know there is a time limit, but maybe they should keep the service flowing so that doesn't happen. The interior decorator here did a great job with the time warp back to the mid 20th century. Cool vibe. Food was ok. Perhaps using old recipes from the time period is not so good for a tourist? I wasn't really impressed with the food, but I don't have a cultural link to Milanese food to begin with, so I don't think I was fully able to appreciate it. If my grandmother made this when i was a kid, perhaps it would have been better, but the meal was lost on me. There are plenty of spots to grab a good meal, I'd only recommend this place if you have a fond memory of the menu items or you really want to time travel and post to social media.
