Bar Barolo In Alessandria

14/07/2025: The food is good, almost cheaply priced for the quality of it, and the location is great Due to the inclement weather we sat inside in a finely decorated room with frescoes on the ceiling, but they also somehow have a lovely and big courtyard (in the middle of the town, I'd never would've expected that) But what really sets this place apart from the five hundred other restaurants in Gavi is the service We got there dressed like hobos as we planned to go trekking before rain changed our plans They still welcomed us like we were the royal family (in shorts and a tye dye shirt) Our waiter helped us choosing the wine, nailed it well out of the park, and changed the already fine standard red glasses for large Bordeaux glasses more appropriate for our wine Never seen this kind of service for a 30ish € bottle The waiters were never hovering over us, yet somehow had the almost uncanny ability to show themselves whenever we needed them well before we turned around to call for them The timing of the courses was the best I've seen so far: usually the next dish would be on our table the exact moment I'd think "I'm ready for the next one" We took our sweet time eating so we were the last couple at the restaurant Instead of being stroppy with us (which would have been justified honestly) they took us for a tour of the place and their lovely cantina I really cannot recommend this place enough, well thought dishes, fresh, often homegrown ingredients, and a service that gives new nuances to the meaning of the word "waiter"

13/05/2025: I am back home in California remembering our visit from May 2024. I absolutely love Gavi and have been there twice in the past 3 years.We dined at Cantine Del Gavi celebrating my sons birthday and mothers day. It was such a memorable experience and I realized I forgot to do a review with all the traveling we did in Italy last year. The service was phenomenal, food was outstanding and perfect wine was recommended. The staff and experience provided made a lasting impression on my son his fiancé and I. What a gem in such a charming and beautiful village. It is a lovely and beautiful ristorante and the food incredible. Grazie to the staff for a lasting memory.
