Il Vecchio Borgo In Mezzenile

I spent Easter Monday here in the Lanzo Valleys with friends. The place was very clean and the welcome was fantastic, making you feel at home. The food was delicious, carefully presented, and excellent value, all complemented by a relaxed atmosphere that made you feel at ease throughout the experience. Definitely worth a try!

Thank you, it was like eating with family, even better. Excellent service and food, very welcoming staff. Thank you.

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of the Lanzo Valleys, bathed in a fantastic welcome. Simple, authentic dishes, beautifully presented, reflect the excellent ingredients and the love owners Fabrizio and Claudia put into them. Excellent value. Definitely worth returning, so highly recommended!

Very welcoming place, I spent Easter Monday there, very good food, very welcoming place and friendly and kind and very helpful staff, well done thanks for everything

Quiet place, everything was good, courtesy and cleanliness were excellent! 🥰

We stopped here because we were looking for a place to have lunch after our bike ride. We called and they welcomed us even though we arrived at 2:00 AM. The food was homemade and made with love: colossal gnocchi with ragù di turgia, delicious artichokes in oil (from Puglia), agnolotti with roast pork cheek sauce, and roast hazelnuts. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful; we'll be back soon!

This small, family-run restaurant/bar is a lovely find in the heart of Mezzenile, provided you make a few compromises. We dined here one evening in August. You enter through the bar and are then escorted downstairs to a modest but clean room with a few tables and pleasant background music. Unfortunately, the lovely French windows overlooking the courtyard overlook a concrete courtyard, but at least you can enjoy the cool, mountain-like evening breeze. The owner, Fabrizio, is a cheerful, if a bit intrusive, person who takes care of the dining room. The service is prompt. The two of us ate well, and the quality of the cured meats was appreciable, as was that of the meats, the pasta dishes, and the crunchy, wholesome vegetables. The only things we didn't particularly enjoy were the polenta (the pignoletto has a peculiar flavor—it's either love it or hate it) and the dessert was so-so (the whipped cream... no way!). The sore point is the disproportionately high bill of €90.50, considering we had to mop up every dish and finish off two baskets of bread to fill up. With a little more thought put into the portions—sufficient for the first and second courses but rather meager for the appetizers and side dishes—and a bit more effort put into the desserts, it would deserve 4 stars despite the price. For a 5, alas, the location still needs some work. Will we return? Probably later, hoping for a less stuffy welcome and something more on the plate.

Friendly and helpful staff, quality food.

High-quality, traditional Piedmontese food, warm and friendly welcome, highly recommended. We'll definitely be back!

Excellent restaurant, large portions, delicious food. The polenta concia was exceptional! We arrived almost an hour late from our reservation, and the manager was very understanding.
