Al Portichetto Cirano In Gandino

21/08/2024: 2024 update. Always pleasant. Quiet environment where peace and views of the plain reign. Quality dishes (SUPREMA eel, without fat). Adequate price Optimal Dinner with his wife, after being welcomed by the owner, on his advice we opt for a local tasting menu; while we wait, the appetizer offers Codevilla prosecco and sliced, crunchy eggs. As an appetizer the wife receives "a door to the garden", with carrot mayonnaise, pasta alla norma. For me, the meeting of waters, in which they place a salmon tartare on a whitefish and raspberry pâté, covered with a crouton made with whitefish skin. First course Venere risotto with missoltino fondue and courgettes, well cooked and balanced. For second mountain: hay ice cream, venison morsels in blueberry sauce, pine drops, grappa brittle. Delicate flavors, cooked correctly. Another second course is the porcini mushrooms and nectarine peaches, ok For dessert we choose hidden with aromas, hazelnut, chocolate and salt (intriguing). The wife opts for berries in four consistencies. Before dessert they bring us a black foam mousse on lime, which is good. With coffee tasting biscuits produced by them. Of note is the bread, also self-produced, with peanuts, milk, tomatoes and capers, black flour, breadsticks, focaccia. All good. Elegant environment. Waiters who rightly explained each dish. Adequate price without excesses.
