La Rosa Bianca In Chieri

25/05/2025: A place where you can appreciate the effort to create an interesting environment and cuisine, with a result that in my opinion is unbalanced and below expectations. Some problems can be overlooked: Sunday chaos, insufficient or at least a little confused staff, the seasonal opening of outdoor seating with increased seating do not help. Some aspects of the service, however, did not work. Approximation in serving wine, long and inexplicable wait between appetizer and main course (for basic preparations), wrong coffee. Things that can happen but that reveal a certain carelessness. The cuisine winks at the now somewhat stereotyped canons of Savoy slow food, together with some rustic dishes just revisited (caponata, etc.) but even if appreciable it is neither original nor, on the other hand, home-made. The judgment could be lighter if the price - which in itself is absolutely not a problem - seemed proportionate to the general quality, considering bistro tables without placemats, no change of cutlery etc. despite LEDs and minimal pretensions in the internal room, a bit narrow. Everything within limits except for the completely inexplicable choice of music for me: commercial pop played at high volume, at least in the aforementioned room. A mystery. Sooner or later I will return, but at the moment I cannot recommend it.

18/05/2025: Lunch for 22 people: the accommodation, agreed, was outside in a dehors. Everything perfect, from excellent food to service. Highly recommended!
