La Salsamenteria di Via dei Mercati In Vercelli

I stopped by this deli for dinner, and I must say it was a delightful discovery. The Russian salad was truly excellent: balanced, light, with just the right amount of mayonnaise (finally, not too much!), making it much tastier and easier to digest than many other versions. The meatballs particularly impressed me: for the first time in a long time, I rediscovered the authentic flavor of homemade meatballs, soft, flavorful, and carefully prepared. Truly a highlight. The breaded tomini with speck were also excellent, well-made and very tasty, perfect for those looking for something different yet still rooted in tradition. Finally, the zuppa inglese: a classic dessert made well, just the right amount of indulgence, a perfect end to the meal. The prices were absolutely fair and in line with the quality offered. I will definitely be back: quality, care, and authentic flavors, just like at home. 👏

From the outside, it looks like a small, old-fashioned shop: hanging cured meats and cheeses, cupboards with jams and jars, wines, and everything you'd expect to find in a small village shop. The surprise is the refined yet extremely traditional menu, with perfectly sized dishes and excellent quality. The owner is a very friendly gentleman who enjoys conversation, and the waiters are extremely helpful and know how to recommend dishes from the wide selection available. Discovering it by chance, I was convinced to go in precisely because of the family atmosphere it exudes. I'll already know where to eat on my next trip to Vercelli.

A great experience combining food and tradition, accompanied by good wine! Congratulations!

Nice vintage atmosphere, friendly welcome from both the young man and the owner. We were there for bagna cauda day, and the bagna was amazing!! They also have a small counter with highly sought-after cheeses and cured meats from all over the world. We'll be back!

I tried this place during the "Bagna Cauda Day" initiative. I'd always (most likely mistakenly) considered this a place for aperitivo. I've changed my mind. The place has two seats facing each other, but I think the dining room is the one without the shop. The staff, Gisella and Paolo, made me feel like I was having lunch with friends. The dishes I tasted were very good. The arancino di panissa was a highlight. An unusual dish was the anchovy ice cream on a slice of bread drizzled with olive oil. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Vercelli and touring the city center. Once you reach Piazza Cavour, you can easily pop into this place without making any detours. Also worth mentioning is the shop selling high-quality local products.

In the center of Vercelli you will find this typical Piedmontese restaurant where you can taste typical dishes.

A bit of confusion in the service, ordered from the menu by voice only to then discover that the dish wasn't there.

A welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with the authentic flavor of true trattorias of yesteryear. A commitment to quality artisanal products and an excellent selection of wines make this place a must-try for those who love to savor the best of tradition in the heart of Vercelli.
