La Vecchia Scuola In Rovato

21/07/2026: A top-notch experience in every way. The best dinner of 2026 so far, hands down.

12/07/2026: Returning to this splendid restaurant for the third time, a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Turin, proves to be a thoroughly rewarding experience. The ambiance is immediately striking for its refined eclecticism: a perfect balance of formal elegance and rustic charm, enhanced by a dining room offering spectacular views of the surrounding hills. The service is distinguished by impeccable professionalism. The staff, attentive to the most discerning needs and masterful in managing time, doesn't simply describe the dishes, but guides guests on a true narrative journey, demonstrating a profound knowledge of the ingredients and the dishes they're serving. The dining room and kitchen move in perfect sync, dancing to the same rhythm. It's an experience that requires an open mind and a willingness to explore flavor horizons far removed from the classic flavors of everyday life. The combinations, never predictable, surprise with their inventiveness and precision, supported by a commendable attention to overall sustainability and a rigorous selection of ingredients. The homemade products are excellent, starting with the addictive artisanal baking, but the true trademark remains the fermentation technique, mastered with rare elegance and surprising flavor. An absolute guarantee that continues to amaze and excel. Needless to say, I will gladly return.
