Barcollando In Bosco marengo

16/07/2025: This historic restaurant, run by a family of restaurateurs, is tastefully and elegantly furnished, yet still maintains a welcoming and friendly spirit. The menu features traditional Monferrato and Piedmontese dishes, as well as seasonal specials, and boasts excellent ingredients and expert cooking. As soon as we were seated, we were treated to a complimentary lard and chestnut entree, and then we ordered, opting for a seasonal menu (in addition to the à la carte menu) centered on mushrooms: a truly delicious Grana Padano salad with artichokes; a Fassona steak with artichokes, a true off-menu delight; and a cream of zabaglione with scabs, an excellent dessert. The dinner was accompanied by water and an excellent red wine, an Az. Gatto Ruchè, a regional guarantee. The three of us spent €171.50 (three appetizers, three main courses, two desserts, and drinks), which I'd say was reasonable for the overall experience. Excellent location, relaxing atmosphere, top-notch cuisine, friendly and attentive service, undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Casale and the surrounding area. We'll definitely return and recommend it!

29/06/2025: I went back last night for dinner with friends, for the second time. It's always a safe bet: very good food, traditional Piedmontese dishes but also some off-menu items that allow you to vary. Friendly service, the owner is always pleasant. Well-kept and clean place in the center of Casale Monferrato. I recommend it!
