La Casa Dei Nonni In Zenevredo

Exceptional dishes that you absolutely must try

A few kilometers from Stradella, nestled among vineyards, lies La Casa dei Nonni, a typical Oltrepò Pavese farmhouse where local produce and those from the garden take center stage. We visited on Sunday for lunch, a day when they offer a fixed menu for €40, including mixed appetizers, two first courses, two second courses, dessert, water, wine, and coffee (except for liqueurs and premium wines). A truly fair price, not only for the quantity—the portions are more than generous—but above all for the quality of the dishes. The appetizers were excellent, especially the local cured meats, which I had little hesitation about given how good the coppa and salami from the hills are. The first courses deserve special praise, especially the braised beef ravioli with braised beef sauce, a signature dish of the Oltrepò, which here far exceeded expectations. The main courses were good, although a step down from the previous ones: the duck, which I had counted on, I found a bit dry, while the roast pork neck with herbs was decidedly more convincing. The desserts, all homemade, were a wonderful discovery. I tried the must pudding, recommended by the very kind waitress: a perfect choice! I don't like overly sweet flavors, yet this dessert was so balanced and delicious that I would have ordered another. The red wine included in the menu, from local wineries, was very good and of high quality, and went down like water. The service was courteous and cheerful. Perhaps a little too quick in the succession of courses, but nothing that detracted from the experience. In conclusion, La casa dei nonni is a little corner of authenticity and flavors at the gateway to the Oltrepò Pavese, perfect for those who want to savor a bit of tradition. Highly recommended!

We slept and had dinner. The room was clean and equipped with everything you need. The dinner was superb! Excellent value for money. The staff were welcoming and helpful.

Simple and comfortable rooms, excellent cuisine, kind and welcoming staff

Nice food, but too expensive for what you ate

Simpatico agriturismo, ambiente rustico ma ben curato, servizio veloce e gentile. Per quanto riguarda il cibo, nulla di particolarmente originale, per lo meno quanto presentava il menu odierno: antipasto con ottimi salumi, frittata di zucchine, peperone croccante, tartelletta con spuma di tonno e fagioli; un ottimo risotto dalla cottura eccellente con pesto e pomodorini; ravioli al radicchio e speck invece troppo cotti e praticamente insapori; per secondo, insalata di pollo con ravanelli e glassa di aceto balsamico carente di olio e coppa di maiale arrosto molto morbida con classico contorno di patatine al forno. Vari dessert tra cui scegliere, senza guizzi di fantasia. Buoni i vini dell'azienda agricola di famiglia.

Great food friendly staff is recommended

We stayed and spent the night in this farmhouse. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with all comforts, the cuisine characterized by typical local dishes, with local products and wines. The owners and staff are kind, helpful and put the customers at ease. An experience to repeat if you want to escape from the stress of the city. The prices are also competitive.

Splendid location away from traffic, simple and welcoming environment, exquisite food. I ate some ravioli with braised sauce that was simply extraordinary. Excellent locally produced cold cuts, excellent quality Pavia wines. Moderate prices and exquisite staff
