Casa Bardacchino In Mango

13/07/2025: Excellent food and ambiance! Wild boar and risotto is a must!

08/07/2025: In a place like Barolo, it's easy to encounter tourist traps and ridiculous prices. This place was recommended to us by a local, and it turned out to be a golden recommendation. The place itself is extremely quaint and traditional, with an outdoor veranda and grape leaves covering an entire wall. They have an excellent selection of traditional dishes, from pasta and risotto to meat dishes and—I imagine depending on the season—even some fish. Our friends were pleasantly surprised by the porcini mushroom risotto. My girlfriend ordered two portions of plin because they were too good to have just one; I, a non-meat-and-dairy eater, had the best gnocchi with tomato sauce of my life. Here's a surprisingly positive point: in the kingdom of meat and cheese, even a vegan can find a suitable dish. In total, we spent twenty euros each, very reasonable considering the location and the quality of the food, but I should point out that we didn't drink wine, which would understandably increase the price. The bread was free and the water was negligible. No charge for service. The owner was very nice; he should definitely treat Francesco from Agrilab to a lunch (or even more than one), which (rightly) gives him so much positive publicity.
