ET AB Hic ET AB Hoc In Castelnuovo don bosco

22/06/2025: We had lunch outside, a pleasant and very quiet as well as intimate environment. The very rich menu, interesting even for the most extravagant in terms of culinary combinations! First, I asked the waiter for advice regarding the typical dishes, yes I didn't ask chat gpt, we maintain human relationships when we can. I "chose" as an appetizer: smoked goose ham with chestnuts in Barolo, first course: agnolotti stuffed with donkey with butter and thyme, second course: horse cheek braised in Barbera accompanied by a glass of Barbera d'Asti, finally a normal coffee and not because I didn't want to try the dessert, recommended to me by the magnificent professional waiter: bônet with flakes of nougat, but rather the portions were so satisfying that I had no more space! The flavors enhanced in each dish, keeping in mind that the dishes I chose have medium/strong flavors so I suggest them to those who like to feel the smoke rather than the wine. Attention to detail greatly appreciated, both towards the customer in recommending and in managing each dish with short and correct times, but also in the service of fresh bread and breadsticks as soon as you sit down, asking if you would like parmesan for the first course, bringing coffee with the option of choosing cane sugar and/or normal sugar (little things that make the difference).

28/05/2025: One of the best dinners I’ve ever had!! The place is cosy, the staff is friendly and helpful and the food is so interesting and delicious. I was not expecting to have pasta with gelato or horse meat with chocolate… but WOW. Thank you!! For sure we will be back soon.
