Pizzeria Al Fogolar In Paularo

06/04/2024: An excellent cut and a delicious Profitteroll.

04/03/2024: I leave 3 stars of encouragement because the right rating would be 2.5. The environment was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had no problem paying the bill separately and the food was good, in good quantity and at a good price. However there were a few slips that made our experience quite worse. First of all we waited an hour for the dishes to arrive (they all arrived approximately at the same time). The appetizer arrived after a good 40 minutes, and it's not clear to me why since they were just cold cuts and cheeses placed on a plate, therefore without any particular preparation. Unfortunately we found a hair in the cured meats. Furthermore, all the pieces of dairy cheese were made up of at least 1/3 rind, significantly decreasing the amount of cheese to be eaten, and adding the hassle of having to remove it, as it is inedible. As for the first courses, we took 2 carbonaras and 1 plate of gnocchi, which were good and about which I have no criticisms to raise. Instead, the pasta "al parini" (or something similar) had a hair inside, and was also spicy even though it wasn't specified on the menu. We didn't get the pizza because reading the reviews and seeing them in person, from other customers, they were not at all inviting, as well as quite small. Unfortunately there were several defects but it is certainly a restaurant with potential and worth giving a chance.
