Ca' di Ratt In Gravellona lomellina

Ca' di Ratt - Mangià de sciôr On the nostalgic notes of "Io vagabondo" you could find yourself one day in a remote rural village (apparently) like many others in the Vigevano area, but this idea immediately passes over you if you look around, along its streets lined with reproductions of famous works of art. Following the latter in a narrow street in the centre, you come across a colourful, unexpected period courtyard and the entrance to the restaurant, with a typically Lombard name, and with its portico which introduces you directly to the interior, but with a wooden door which still hides everything from you, leaving room for a final act of mystery and surprise to your imagination. Inside, Stefano and his father at the counter welcome you more than affably, while in the kitchen the family is completed with sister and mother; Three rooms visually await you in front of you which, with materials and colors (combined with the probably intentional "dim" lighting), take you back in time, suggesting the original peasant architecture, with entablatures and not very high ceilings. All the contents of the à la carte menu (which is periodically revisited) are particular, and with flavors of bygone eras. The aromatic Ippocrasso wine is certainly noteworthy: red version for cheeses and desserts, white version for pairing with desserts. The cutting boards, metro or smaller ones, feature local or national cured meats and cheeses. The first courses are presented with tagliatelle or spaghettoni, with house or venison ragù. For those who want to immerse themselves in the surrounding environments, the risotto with gorgonzola and porcini mushrooms is certainly worth tempting. The second courses enthrall you with wild boar or pork with an ancient flavour, accompanied by spices, baked potatoes and porcini mushrooms here too. If you don't want to forget anything about the poor art in the kitchen, you can request polenta concia, which has its origins in Piedmont, Lombardy and Val d'Aosta by throwing in toma, gorgonzola and fontina. The recommended wine is a red and organic Bufnìs, IGT, from 2019 (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc vines). What about desserts? Suffer or try? I would say give it a try, if you are still physically fit after the above (the portions are certainly not small)!!! You can start from the tart (with plum jam), moving on to the cakes (with amaretto and Grand Marnier, or cocoa with cream, coconut and rum). Along the lines of a fried egg, you are instead treated to a succulent panna cotta with berries. As a first-time guest, I can only give a positive expression to everything, the environmental scenography and the food. Definitely worth trying again and more calmly, to be able to fully enjoy the combination just mentioned offered by the very cordial family management. Only note, without knowing the underlying reasons for their creation: the toilets should be presented in a form more suited to the convenience of all types of customers who arrive, to fully adapt to what is offered in other respects.

On a rainy Sunday, chance brought us to this very characteristic place. Warm and welcoming environment, fireplace lit, well-composed and varied menu. The Byzantine soup and the pomegranate cheeks and, in the end, biscuits with white seahorse are highly recommended

Excellent food, prepared and kind staff, all in a well-preserved environment from the 1200s

We organized our father's 80th birthday at Stefano's at his characteristic Cà di Ratt restaurant....what can I say, a real success. He helped us create a perfect evening. Thank you for your collaboration in creating the surprise and above all to underline the professionalism and the excellent food accompanied by excellent food quality/price. We'll see you very soon. Michela and Davide

Every now and then I realize that I have never left reviews for my favorite restaurants 😱 The remedy is immediately clear: Ca' di Ratt is a special place, with its atmosphere, hospitality and more than excellent food. A true point of reference! Thank you and see you soon for sure 🤗

An incredible place that I definitely need to return to!

Beautiful, well-kept place and excellent service both in terms of food and choice of wines. Congratulations. We go back often.. The braised polenta is top for me.. Right portions that allow you to enjoy from the starter to the dessert.

Beautiful location and beautiful country. The restaurant is an old renovated farmhouse, very suggestive! Typical cuisine; I love pappardelle with wild boar🥰! Generous portions and if you don't finish your plate, they prepare a doggy bag for you (the bag with which the restaurant allows the customer to randomly bring leftover food to the table). The owner is friendly and approachable. I've known him for so many years even when he wasn't known and didn't take a debit card! Go with the children and then take a walk in the village! I call it the land of toys 🫶 🔝

Siamo stati a pranzo sabato con la famiglia in occasione del mio compleanno . Abbiamo fatto il giro in paese che definirei "pinacoteca a ciel aperto" . Bellissimo!! Abbiamo pranzato al ristorante Ca ' di Ratt che si trova in centro e sul muro acconto si trova la riproduzione del famoso quadro il "Bacio" di Francesco Hayez. Appena si entra l'atmosfera è fantastica. Locale molto bello e caratteristico con atmosfera rilassante grazie anche alle musiche in sottofondo e alla serenità e gentilezza dei proprietari. Il ragazzo che ci ha serviti al tavolo molto cordiale, ci ha spiegato bene tutti i piatti scelti. Ottimi e presentati bene! Prima di congedarci ci hanno offerto amaro/grappa. Gesto molto apprezzato da tutti noi in quanto inaspettato. Consigliato. Raffaela

Luogo davvero incantevole, un tuffo nel passato, cortesia e professionalità da parte del personale e ovviamente cibo ottimo!
