Da Margherita In Arquata scrivia

06/01/2026: It's a bit remote, but if you're in the Monferrato area and want to eat fish, this is the place to go. Generous portions.

28/12/2025: We've been here twice for dinner with friends. The reviews and word of mouth were always a bit mixed, so we decided to give it a try. The first time, the restaurant was packed, so it took a while, but we were there to enjoy ourselves, so everything was pretty good. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, the fish was good and plentiful, the only negative was the marinated sea bass, which was definitely over-marinated (but we were told it was the right amount!) The second time, I think, was our last. We first asked if it was possible to skip the sea bass, and were told no (oh well), but in the end, this time it was good, balanced, and had a completely different flavor. With the second course, the waitress, seeing our hesitation, suggested we order some mixed fried fish and grilled fish to serve in the center of the table. We gladly accepted! But no, it wasn't a great idea... A tray of fried and grilled fish arrived, all thrown together, for six people, and well, it wasn't exactly hot! The final surprise, of course, was the bill! We didn't even have a receipt to check the prices... we think we paid about €25 for the second course... definitely too much... total €61.50 each... what can I say, at the very least, it would have been a nice gesture to offer everyone a coffee or at least round up the total to €60... instead, they gave two of us a €1.50 discount, but the other four didn't get anything 😅😂 Too bad, just as we were pleasantly surprised the first time, we were unpleasantly "disappointed" the second time...
