Hosteria del Vapore In Carobbio degli angeli

No need to use too many words... EXCELLENT!!!!!!

A pleasant surprise. Beautiful location. Excellent courtesy and helpfulness. Simple products, beautifully crafted and presented on beautiful plates. Excellent place, highly recommended. Mascarpone ice cream, Super Super TOP 🔝

I'd heard great things about this place, both for the food and the wine list, so we decided to go after a tasting in Franciacorta. We ordered a bit of everything: the onion soup, the cured meat and cheese platter, and especially the meat. We took their advice and, from memory, chose the Danish. The appetizers were all good, nothing to write home about, but everything was good. The meat was more than good, objectively. It didn't seem like a kilo, so we asked, and the owner confirmed it was 800g. Okay, let's move on. We got to the dessert, which I wasn't entirely convinced by; their ice cream was decidedly too heavy. But so far, flavors aside, nothing to complain about. We paid the bill and noticed they'd listed 1kg of meat instead of 800g. We pointed this out to the owner (who had previously told us the actual weight), who immediately corrected the bill. I wouldn't dare say it was done on purpose, but you have to be more careful about these things because they influence your opinion of a place. I'll finish with the wine list: in terms of bottles, quality and quantity, but in terms of glasses, the selection is limited and expensive.

This is our second visit to this restaurant, and we're definitely satisfied. Like last time, we were two couples of friends who found themselves halfway there, and therefore out of the area, for a reunion and a chat. The menu is worth returning to very, very often.
