Gatto Nero In Viggiù

Traditions, flavors, and aromas that unfortunately are no longer found in this old country of ours. Thank you. Greetings from Switzerland.

We came all the way from Milan, and it was worth it! Kind, friendly, helpful, and down-to-earth, just the way I like it. Dishes cooked with love and skill. I'll post the photos: rib ragù (the photo shows my half portion 😉), porcini risotto. Then roast kid goat and braised baby ale. Polenta and a superb celeriac puree. Leave me alone.

Literally the place where we've eaten the best meat in the last 10 years, so much so that we called the chef into the dining room to compliment him. I recommend the quality cut, the cooking method, and the seasonings were perfect; the fillet and tagliata melted in your mouth. The quantity was also there, as you can see from the photos. Just the meat and side dish were filling, so much so that we struggled to finish dessert. The atmosphere is welcoming and the wait staff are truly helpful, typical of old-fashioned osterias. A true gem among the narrow streets of Viggiù! The quality-price ratio was also surprising. I recommend making a reservation, as it's not very large, and arriving a little early (if it's a weekend) to find parking, as it's right in the historic center. We'll definitely be back, and often! Congratulations!

Pleasant atmosphere nostalgic of the old days.

I was pleasantly surprised by this very rural, welcoming trattoria, where you can relax and spend time in good company, as if you were in another era! The food was excellent, beautifully cooked, and the portions were generous. The service was also excellent, considering it's a family-run restaurant, and they were very friendly. We shared a first course, but they actually brought us two whole portions, charging us for one. We also had a grilled steak with beans and a Milanese cutlet with a side of divinely flavored potatoes, both very generous portions, plus water and service charge. All in all, €14 per person for two people, for a grand total of €28. What more can I say? If only we weren't from the South, we'd become regulars!
