La Capannina di Grassona In Cesara

Everything was top-notch. Andrea is a great gentleman, and as soon as you walk in the door, you feel at home. Fresh food, excellent trio of heifers, great company, and impeccable service. A great place for dogs. In short, I think every time we return, we'll definitely be back. Thank you so much, Andrea, and hugs from Simone and Erika.

Spurred by the good reviews, wanting to explore the area, we stopped at this place. The location is very beautiful and quiet, and the lady who served us was very kind. There's no standard menu; the owner (very kind and friendly) checks what's available. The charcuterie board (homemade, the lard is amazing) and mountain cheeses are highly recommended. The agnolotti (definitely homemade) with gorgonzola and walnuts are excellent, as are the sliced ​​steak and the stew with taragna polenta, delicious like few others I've tasted. The house wine is good. We ordered two mixed platters, one first course, three second courses, water, a can and a half of red wine, one dessert, three coffees, and the kindly offered homemade grappa, for a more than reasonable final bill of €109. A shout out also to Rufus, the awesome pocket-sized dog who handles the reception :-) Thanks, and see you next time.

We decided to stop for lunch during a long motorcycle ride around Lake Orta, intrigued by the reviews and the location in a small, unknown village. We had a wonderful time, immersed in the quiet and nature. The delicious dishes were made with local ingredients, and the charcuterie and cheese platter (made on site) was truly excellent! The atmosphere was family-friendly and the owners were very kind. We'll definitely be back! We were very satisfied.

A wonderful discovery! I recommend everyone to try Cucina di Emma: excellent food, and equally pleasant and helpful staff. For those who want to spend a couple of hours immersed in silence, enjoying excellent, locally sourced food, it's the perfect place. We'll definitely be back.

Stopped by chance, business trip, at 2pm.. hidden place but excellent food, fresh, perfectly paired... ate a lot and spent very little... I highly recommend
