Ciabot d'Gianduja In Castell'alfero

Good traditional Piedmontese cuisine with a touch of modernity

After a small mix-up, it was quickly resolved What can I say, I ate very well, I recommend risotto with kidney and top apples.. and also soft veal, really kind waiters..

...what can I say!... due to an inconvenience we only called to book around 9pm on Saturday. The staff who answered immediately made every effort to find a table for 4 and responded positively, saying that they would wait for us with pleasure. The environment is rustic but well-kept. All dishes are made with excellent quality raw materials and are well served. The staff is really kind, friendly and thoughtful. Chef Daniela, very nice, also gave us some advice on the truffle fair! Thank you so much!!

Enjoyed an excellent Piedmontese fried food, of more than excellent quantity and quality. Courteous staff and very attentive to the well-being of customers. A no-frills, but decidedly comfortable environment. Adequate price (approx. €80 for two, with good quality water and bubbles). A pleasant discovery!

Run by a young couple, she is a very good and friendly cook. I highly recommend his risotto, but that's just the beginning Thanks again

Excellent restaurant located in an area easily accessible from the surrounding car parks. Impeccable typical Piedmontese cuisine, with above average quality. The staff, the very courteous and friendly owner but above all the beautiful waitress who was kind and very professional recommending wines and dishes. Definitely worth coming back!

We came to eat the Piedmontese mixed fried food and we were really satisfied! The fried food was plentiful, excellent, not excessively greasy. The pieces were generous and tasty. The bagna cauda peppers eaten as an appetizer were absolutely the best I have ever eaten! And the Bunet was excellent! Definitely coming back! The restaurant is also beautiful, recently renovated while maintaining the atmosphere of the original restaurant. I particularly appreciated the use of crockery marked with the restaurant logo as they used to do in the old days. The background music was pleasant. Judging by the reviews I have read about this place, Daniela Palestro's new management has definitely improved the quality of this historic restaurant!

Nice place. Unfortunately, the numerous positive reviews probably refer to the old management since our lunch didn't go very well. Not being big drinkers, we start by ordering half a liter of red wine, it is served to us and while we fill the glasses a poor drowned fly also drops from the jug. Without attracting attention, since an inconvenience can happen, we call the waiter to have us change the wine and this after having first pretended not to understand, and then looking at us as if we had put the fly in the glass, almost annoyed he only changes us the glass with the fly inside, leaving the jug with wine and the other full glass. Then comes a welcome amouse bouche which, however, is served inelegantly in the coffee saucer. The starters were good, a tartare and a veal with tuna sauce (which however was so thin, so thin as to be almost transparent) and the first course we shared was also good: a tagliolini with anchovies, butter and lemon. For the second course we took a sliced ​​fassona and a pork fillet since the stuffed guinea fowl written on the menu wasn't there. Both meats were quite tough not to mention tough the pork. Regarding the menu there would also be some discussion: the table next to ours had a platter of cold cuts and cheeses which was not present on the menu, we later discovered that it was on the wine menu. Furthermore, beautiful portions of Piedmontese fried food (for which the place is famous) were passed towards other tables. And these too were not on the menu but could only be ordered upon reservation. In short, a bit of confusion. However, thanks to the kind waitress, we managed to have a portion of sweet fried food, which was really excellent. Just as the two desserts we had were excellent (the bunet was exceptional). Final bill above 50 euros each.

Informal retro style environment (70s). We eat well

Quality and courtesy, excellent veal with tuna sauce
