Il Pangolino In Casale monferrato

Everything was delicious and the tagliolini 😍

March 2025 dinner. My wife and I are not vegan, but we appreciate vegetable-based dishes. We attended a dinner with friends, attracted by the company. The place is particular and charming, set in a historical context. The dishes were well presented, even if the menu was difficult to interpret for those who are not experts in vegan cuisine. I tasted some of the other diners' dishes and found them acceptable, considering that they were attempts to imitate traditional dishes. Personally, I opted for a dish that I thought was based only on vegetables and carbohydrates, but the only one that fully satisfied me was the breaded porcini mushroom. The caponata wasn't a real caponata: too sweet, you could only taste the raisins. The Venus rice with vegetables had a sauce that, in the long run, was cloying. The chocolate dessert was very strong and dense, given the absence of butter and milk, as expected in vegan cuisine. I found the service not very empathetic and, the icing on the cake, when the place was now empty, we asked to separate the bill for the drinks that a guest wanted to offer for his birthday, but we were told that "separate bills are not available on Fridays and Saturdays". I would have liked to find some more traditional vegetable-based dishes, given that Italian cuisine offers a wide choice."

We were invited to this cute restaurant by omnivorous friends who respect our vegan choice. We had a very good time, excellent service, excellent food and a lot of friendliness from the staff. It will be our restaurant every time we are in those parts and since our friends have just bought a house in Casorzo, it means that we will become regular customers.

Everything we ordered was delicious! I sometimes shy away from vegan restaurants because I think the food won't be tasty. So glad I took a chance with Il Pangolino! Definitely will go again next time I'm in town.

A nice experience, welcoming place and friendly staff, we tasted a good choice of vegan dishes from starters to desserts. There is also excellent attention to intolerances and a numerous choice of gluten-free dishes. Highly recommended.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to

We arrived at this place by chance, also driven by the positive reviews. I must say that we were pleasantly impressed by the menu proposal and the dishes more than met our expectations. It's not easy to find a place that's completely vegan and also offers gluten-free options. Piedmontese starter above expectations. Overall I rate this experience as satisfactory, we will return to try other dishes.

Very welcoming place, excellent food, helpful and friendly staff. The only small flaw was that the service was a little slow, but as we weren't in a hurry, we enjoyed the excellent lunch.

Locale molto accogliente, cibo ottimo, personale disponibile, gentilissimo. Unica piccola pecca, il servizio è stato un poco lento, ma non avendo fretta, ci siamo goduti il pranzo.

Ottimo. Ho preso la carbonara che mi è piaciuta molto e ho trovato parecchio simile a quella tradizionale e il salmone anche quello molto buono. Unica "pecca" ho trovato il servizio un po' lento ma sono stato ottimamente ripagato dalla qualità dei piatti.
