Antico Ca' d'Gamba In Sordevolo

07/08/2026: A pleasant experience. Typical Biella atmosphere, warm, rustic. Friendly yet professional. The cuisine is easy to understand and full of intense flavors. Highly recommended. Oh, I forgot: prices from days gone by. Not surprisingly. Always packed.

28/07/2026: Dinner at the recommendation of some colleagues. A warm and welcoming restaurant with brick vaults and rustic, homey furnishings. Attentive but frenetic service. The menu was short but extensive, but I didn't particularly enjoy the dishes I chose. For starters, a trio of veal with tuna sauce, Russian salad, and tomino cheese. The tuna sauce was well-cooked and tender, but the sauce was a bit too runny and a touch acidic on the palate. The Russian salad had a mayonnaise that wasn't particularly to my taste; the tomino cheese was garnished with giardiniera, which wasn't exactly suitable for my taste given its acidity. For the first course, the plin (a type of pasta), which I must say was delicious in flavor and cooking. The maccagno cheese fondue was a bit too slow. For dessert, a fig tart... served in very small squares, and instead of figs, a compote... I would have preferred to know what the dessert was in advance so I could have chosen another.
