La Vecchia Trattoria del Castello In Verzuolo

23/03/2025: Well... actually it didn't convince me much. Of course the position where the agriturismo is located is strategic and offers various ideas for external activities that have certainly been evaluated by all those who have tried them, very positively. After all, we are talking about the Pesio valley which is not a small valley! As for the food though... well I didn't get up from the table thinking: I will definitely return. The appetizers were very average. What is called the devil's bite I still haven't understood now, the raw meat was very good, but in my opinion something was missing, while instead there was something too much like mustard. The poached egg was disarmingly normal. The gnocchi were seasoned with a Castelmagno cream that was too, too dense, the second course was a stew (by the way the meat was very tender) mixed in a purée that didn't really make much sense, but on the other hand had a lot of onion that would have accompanied me all the way home and even beyond.

17/03/2025: This year too, with our large family, we chose the Antiche Macine to celebrate the birthday of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother... 92 years old! A kitchen genuine and tasty combined with kind and thoughtful hospitality made our party even more special! Thanks to all of you!
