A typical Biella tavern serving traditional dishes and more. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable.
The food is excellent, very tasty, and beautifully presented.
The service is attentive and quick.
The orecchiette with porcini mushrooms were phenomenal, fresh, and well-seasoned; they were enough for just the main course.
They mainly offer meat dishes; I also had the cod with polenta, which was truly delicious.
To finish, an apple strudel with ice cream, also delicious and warm.
The location is rustic, like a tavern. I was given a table in the corridor, which is a bit narrow, but all the others are well-placed and spaced out.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming in the winter, and the bathroom is spacious and clean.
Parking is a bit far away, being within the restricted traffic zone (ZTL), about 200-300 meters.
I will definitely be back.

Lunch on a gloomy day in Biella, at La Civetta.
Since it was already such a humid day, the food was good—polenta was a must, given the slightly cloudy weather.

A very nice and welcoming place.
Upon our arrival, we were greeted very kindly.
The waitress was very kind and offered us a delicious soft cheese with garlic and paprika.
The local Margot beer is very good and pairs excellently with the dishes.
The service is very quick, and the atmosphere whets the appetite (we were in a small room upstairs).
The poker was very good and allowed us to fully enjoy the two polentas (concia with gorgonzola and toma cheese, and mushrooms with Bra sausage).
The desserts looked very inviting.
The cream caramel was fabulous, the panna cotta with orange zest was above average, and even though I don't drink coffee, I would have gone for the tiramisu.
I preferred the cream caramel with a shot of cherry ratafia.
They were very kind and also offered us a shot of apricot ratafia (very good, but more fortified than the cherry one).
Even with dessert, the beer went very well, in my opinion, and I must say the biscuits that accompanied the cream caramel and panna cotta were excellent.
The bill was very fair: €66 for everything we ordered.
We'll definitely be back.

A historic restaurant in the historic center of Biella, Piazzo.
Your snack selection includes a variety of traditional dishes.
Polenta paired with cheeses, meat, and vitello tonnato, to name a few.
Welcoming atmosphere, with outdoor seating available in the warmer months.
Friendly staff!
