Il Gelsomino In Albugnano

Beautiful view, friendly service, I recommend this stop.

Eating on the terrace is fantastic. Pantagruelian Piedmontese fried food, first the meat and vegetables cooked well without being greasy, then the dessert. You can leave some leftovers and they'll give you a container. Affordable prices.

When I booked, I requested a cool spot given the temperatures of the time of year. They accommodated me, and it had a beautiful view of the hills opposite. The home-cooked food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. We've read that they're selling it, but hopefully not so we can return next year.

We ended up there by chance, thinking we'd grab a toasted sandwich to stave off hunger. We went in and asked if we could grab something to eat. Mr. Renato was fantastic. He told us anecdotes and curiosities about Albugnano, leading us to the terrace while he asked the girls if there was a table. And we sat down, with Renato telling us about the nativity scene at Albugnano, the ship found in Naples and brought to Albugnano for restoration, etc. A pleasant surprise overall: a cool, panoramic terrace, Piedmontese appetizers, hazelnut tajarin (a little bland in flavor), a good Barbera, hazelnut cake, and zabaglione (which should be served slightly warm). All the girls serving were quick and kind. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise, and I'll definitely be back.

The terrace offers a stunning view of the Monferrato hills. Excellent food: gnocchi with Castelmagno cheese, fantastic Monferrina Fassona beef, a very good sliced ​​Fassona beef steak, and a fantastic bunet to finish. Excellent service, and a special mention for the professional and friendly waiter.

Simple restaurant with decent dishes and excellent, friendly service. Excellent value for money too!

I'm giving it a 4 because the place is beautiful, and a 3 because the meat was really good quality, but cooked without a little of that. Aniello's roast was cooked poorly, with no side dish, tasty, and lacking in juice. It tasted like boiled meat. Anyway, maybe it was a bad day for the scif. 🥰

Everything was very good and the staff were very friendly.

Excellent traditional Piedmontese dishes. The service is very attentive to customer needs. The staff is friendly. We had lunch outside with a group of friends near a charming little square. The place is popular with cyclists. The prices are more than fair.

I like it, but the meat is excellent quality but poorly cooked. The appetizers were good, the raw meat with flaked parmesan was delicious. The staff was kind and polite. Excluding the main course, the rest was good. 🥰. 🙏
