La Palta In Borgonovo val tidone

Perfect experience, kind and very refined top-notch food.

As usual, the star doesn't disappoint: excellent raw materials, handled with such care and delicacy, fully reflected in the dishes. Anyone who didn't get the WoW effect, thinking they were Bruno Barbieri, unfortunately knows nothing about cooking, food, or the quality of the raw materials. The dishes are all characterized by a delicacy that persists from appetizer to dessert. The Tortelli di pisarei filled with anolini and the dessert are absolutely noteworthy; the way you appreciate the elderflower is something special. The only tiny flaw that less experienced diners might certainly miss is the menu, which is characterized by the incredible delicacy with which the raw materials are handled. My compliments once again to the entire staff.

Nestled in a small hamlet, this culinary treasure is hidden away. La Palta upholds Piacenza's reputation for excellence in the restaurant business. Its Michelin star is well-deserved! The key concepts here are local tradition and simplicity. Dishes generally feature few ingredients, most of which come from the Piacenza area. In some cases, the producers are just 1 or 2 km away! Pasta is this restaurant's signature ingredient. Just looking at the entire tasting menu dedicated to it is enough to understand its importance here. Whether ravioli, tagliolini, tortelli, or whatever, the quality of the ingredients and their cooking are unquestionable! I highly recommend the "You Are in My Hands" tasting menu, which you can see in the photos. The dish that struck me most was "Ravioli between West and East," which, using few ingredients and appearing so simple, overwhelms with its flavors and leaves an indelible memory. Seconds are a must! For my tastes, the best option is to let the excellent sommelier guide you. His selection of local and seemingly simple wines is astonishing, yet they hold their own and sometimes surpass more prestigious bottles. His explanations are perfect and suitable for everyone. You can adjust the number of glasses paired with your meal; for example, you can ask for one per dish, as I did. You can also ask him to surprise you even further, as I did 😄! Off-menu, I also had the honor of trying the "Raviolo di ravioli," a collection of ravioli in progressively aged Parmigiano Reggiano. A maximum of 101 months of aging makes for an unforgettable pleasure! The price is very fair for a Michelin-starred restaurant of this caliber. €120 for the menu, €80 for 8 glasses + cover charge and water, for a total of €220 per person. Compliments to the entire staff for their professionalism and friendliness! Thank you, Isa, for elevating the name of Piacenza with your cuisine!

I'd say it was all impeccable! Thank you for your kind welcome 🙏

Typical Piacenza dishes, beautifully served. Paired with excellent local wine.

Long live Isa Mazzocchi, long live La Palta, long live pasta, parmesan, ravioli, tortelli and Pastiss!

An elegant place, also perfect for special occasions. Attentive, friendly, and never intrusive service. Traditional Piacenza cuisine revisited, carefully crafted, and carefully sourced with local ingredients. Coming here is a culinary treat.

First time in a starred restaurant for my daughters' birthday, a touching experience, superlative food
