Canton Divino In Avigliana

09/01/2025: Truly sensational, the chef's menu was an unforgettable experience

05/01/2025: We were here for lunch, choosing the tasting menu with a pairing of 4 glasses. Elegant atmosphere, very attentive service and excellent dishes. Special mention should be made of the first courses, in particular the rice with mustard and mint pesto, with a very fresh and intense flavor and a combination of flavors that I would not have expected. The choice of 4 wines to accompany the courses was very apt (3 for the savory part and a Moscato for the dessert). The only discordant note in the bill: the price of the tasting menu with wine pairing is even low for the offer, but I didn't expect to find the aperitif as an additional item. Unlike the cheeses that could be chosen from the well-stocked selection on the trolley, or the vermouth, which were clearly extra, the aperitif was served without any confirmation being asked, and I was therefore surprised to find it on the bill, having thought that they were welcome appetizers before entrée and starters. Checking the site again it is actually listed as an item, but more clarity on this would have been appreciated.
