Enoteca Il Grappolo In Arona

02/08/2024: I might dare to say SUBLIME. We've been wanting to go to the Brandosteria for dinner for a while, we finally managed it... the only regret we have is that we didn't go sooner! From the search for raw materials, to the menu, to the wine list, to the careful selection of every single element... an exceptional discovery. A small oasis in Grignasco! We took the garden tasting menu. Delicate and tasty dishes. What to add? Seeing is believing! Thank you very much for the wonderful dinner Super congratulations to all the staff!

29/07/2024: We ended up in Grignasco by chance and since then every time we pass through the area, a stop at the Brandosteria is a must. The first thing that strikes you is the attention to the raw materials: each ingredient is of the highest quality, fresh and carefully selected. This is just the beginning of a culinary experience that stands out for the perfect combinations of chef Matteo who knows how to transform every dish into a "work of art". Various types of appetizers: it's hard to choose between cured meats, veal tuna and beef tartare, certainly all on the podium. Among the first courses is the "cacio ai tre pepi" which is the envy of the popular Roman restaurants in Trastevere: the combination of the three types of pepper elevates the classic cacio e pepe to levels of excellence. Honorable mention for the Brandomisù, a reinterpretation of tiramisu as beautiful to look at as it is to taste, for the refined cellar as well as for the off-menu proposals. Brandosteria is not just a restaurant, it is a traditional Italian cuisine experience with a touch of innovation and creativity. Absolutely must try!
