03/03/2025: It is one of the most historic restaurants in Casale Monferrato, a very nice well-kept environment, they are attentive to the customer. Excellent dishes. The owner is very knowledgeable, I would like to say an excellent chef. You are fantastic.
02/03/2025: I finally managed to book a table for three weeks, by calling one morning four days before a Sunday in February for lunch. Happy, I arrive at the place and find myself sitting down with my two guests at a table in the corner near the entrance door (continuously open and left ajar and so I had to get up three times and my guest once to close it otherwise he would get cold). Oh well, patience. I have nothing to complain about the service: all the young guys dedicated to table service were all prompt, fast and above all very kind. The bread basket with loose breadsticks and different types of bread, all delicious, was quickly replaced several times with a full one. The variety of the excellent wine list at fair prices. The à la carte menu has few things, but definitely cooked very well. The problem? The portions. There were three of us and we ordered a mixed platter of cold cuts to start and then I ordered a plate of tagliatelle and my two lunch companions two second courses of cheek with a side of potatoes already included in the dish. What has arrived? A cutting board with four slices of salami, four slices of coppa, four slices of raw ham and two types of cheese in four small, really small, rations... but weren't there three of us?... Oh well. My plate of pappardelle was ok, not abundant, not poor, but the two cheeks of my two companions were really few, good yes but really a small quantity with four touches of baked potatoes... even a little dry! The price? Too high for the given portions. We are not truckers who want a lot for little money, but I recognize when what I pay is too much for what I get on my plate. My two companions ordered the same dish a second time because they were still hungry. Alright. The sweets? Small portions but very good. No lactose-free dessert unfortunately, so my guest didn't get it. Now, for what we paid, for what we consumed and the room that remained the same as thirty years ago, where I spent my afternoons as a girl, it seems a bit presumptuous and expensive to me. I don't think I'll go again. I wanted to try it and I wasn't happy about the price, but only about that. There's no question about the quality, excellent. Sin.
