Dolce Stil Novo alla Reggia - Alfredo Russo In Venaria reale

I went to Dolce Stil Novo with my girlfriend for a special evening, and we couldn't have made a better choice. The atmosphere is romantic and elegant, perfect for enjoying time together without rushing. The cuisine is a perfect balance of tradition and creativity: refined dishes, top-quality ingredients, and surprising flavors. The service is attentive, professional, and never intrusive, making you feel truly pampered. The atmosphere is splendid, ideal for both a special evening and a high-end dining experience. A restaurant that deserves it.

I had dinner with my partner at this wonderful restaurant... Let me start by saying that my expectations were very high and they were met in the best possible way. The service was exceptional, kind and welcoming but never intrusive. The dishes were prepared with respect for tradition but never banal, with techniques and innovation, research, and a lot of love for the primary ingredients. I was truly amazed because Chef Alfredo Russo welcomed us to the table and wished us to enjoy the evening and the experience. At the end of the dinner, he came over to thank us and ask how we had enjoyed it... He is an elegant man, just like his restaurant, rigorous like the career he has built, but kind and gracious like his dishes. In short, an exceptional experience. I thank the restaurant, the team, and the chef for this magnificent evening.

A very elegant restaurant inside the Royal Palace of Venaria Reale, with a magnificent view of the gardens. The welcome and service are pleasant and impeccable. Excellent cuisine with meticulously prepared and delicious dishes. Excellent wine list and suggested pairings. An experience not to be missed.

Besides the beautiful location, it was an unexpected dinner, everything was delicious, and the wait staff were kind and knowledgeable. Thank you for the delicious risotto...and the pleasant chat with the chef.

I went with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary, and I must say that the dinner completely met our expectations. A flavorful experience with simple yet high-quality ingredients that reflected the sophistication of the dishes and the ingredients that paired perfectly. The excellent wines paired with the dishes truly enhanced the experience. Very attentive service. An experience worth repeating.

I had dinner with my family and everything was perfect from start to finish. A special experience. I will definitely be back.

An excellent dinner in a magnificent location. We opted for the tasting menu with wine pairings. Every course was excellent, our favorites being the quail, tortelli, and risotto. The service was excellent. The chef is a truly kind and interesting person, a pleasure to chat with. They were very sweet with the birthday dessert 🎂

A slight disappointment... The location is beautiful, and there's nothing to complain about, as is the chef's kindness. However, we found the dishes to be unsurprising, and that's fine—it's a matter of personal taste. However, in my opinion, the service wasn't up to par for a restaurant of this caliber. Here are a few examples. A waiter couldn't remember the name of the wine he was serving us with its pairing on two occasions, and a waitress, when serving us a dish, simply called a certain fish (the name of which I don't remember) "with artichokes." For all the other dishes, there was a fairly detailed explanation, but here it was just "with artichokes," as if she couldn't remember the rest of the ingredients. I don't know if the fact that the service was in English created any complications, but that didn't seem to be the case with the other courses. Furthermore, two people didn't eat meat, as specified when booking, and the amuse bouche were served before asking who the vegetarian ones were for—not a major problem, but one of those small inaccuracies you don't expect. Furthermore, the waiter pointing to the right dish in the wrong area of ​​the table and saying, "So this one's for you!" wasn't exactly the best. Another minor flaw, in our opinion, was the wine pairing, which is indeed very cheap, but the glasses are truly tiny, with negligible quantities. In my opinion, it's better to align with other restaurants and charge a little more but with more generous portions, otherwise you risk annoying customers (at least that's what happened in our case). Finally, there was a small issue with a dessert, and the resolution was less generous than what I've seen at other less renowned restaurants... Offering the vermouth we ordered as a complement might have been a more appreciated gesture with a lower financial impact. In any case, lunch was an enjoyable experience, and overall the quality is good—I'm not arguing with that—but unfortunately, I have to say that this experience didn't leave me with the wow factor that would make me want to return immediately. P.S. In response to your reply, I admit my disappointment, as I expected an acknowledgement of objective points I expressed respectfully, and a little less arrogant defensiveness. Furthermore, our only requirements were that we were two people who don't eat meat, no other changes were necessary, and especially not for desserts. I believe there was a misunderstanding. Our issue with a dessert was of a different nature, and out of courtesy and elegance, I won't describe it; I imagined this would have been appreciated.
