Angolo diVino In Acqui terme

16/07/2024: I was at the "Paladino" alone on a midweek evening, I had dinner inside the restaurant given the heat that hit Alessandria in a pleasant environment thanks to the air conditioning. The very nice owner offered me an appetizer of breaded anchovies, not on the menu, which turned out to be excellent and plentiful. I skipped the first course even though my throat was calling out for gnocchi or agnolotti to move straight to the second course, the main dish of the place: elephant ears. The ears are a huge breaded cutlet, with very tender, light and appetizing meat. Despite being an eater who leaves nothing on the plate this time I had to give up, halfway I said enough even though the desire to finish this tasty dish was there, but no problem the remaining part was packaged for me and the next day heated in a pan with a curl of butter it was as excellent as the night before. All washed down with a good loose wine, prosecco, but don't ask me the winery of origin which was announced to me but I didn't pay attention, a noteworthy fact that not everyone does was to bring the wine in a carafe in a basket of ice so the wine remained fresh for the entire duration of the meal. The dessert menu was very inviting but I didn't take advantage of it because the doctor banned me from sweets but given what was served at the nearby tables I struggled to resist the temptation. I concluded with a good coffee and paid the bill which was fair for the quality of the products offered. I conclude with another positive note: the environment where I was received, familiar but courteous in a place where the strong personality is immediately noticeable. Passed with flying colors!
