Lab24 In Fiorenzuola d'arda

30/12/2025: I would recommend updating the website. I should point out that the day we dined at this restaurant was a Monday, and around here, almost all restaurants are closed on Mondays, but ours was a special occasion, and our search led us to Croce Bianca. The restaurant is very beautiful, rustic, with elegant touches blended into an atmosphere that makes it very welcoming and evocative. I consider the special nature of the day, but I find a cold environment completely unwelcoming. We were welcomed and confined to a small room with other guests, heated by a small heat pump and an electric heater. Fortunately, it had a door that kept the heat inside, but it certainly wasn't much help for those arriving with dishes from the kitchen. As I mentioned at the beginning, it would be best to update the website, as we had intended to try some pizzas, which we didn't find. Instead, we were told they hadn't made them for about two years, obviously to everyone's surprise. Despite all this, we decided to stay, obviously looking for alternatives in the 0 zone😱, and repeating myself... considering Monday is a very special day, we decided to order à la carte. Even though we had called ahead when booking, unfortunately, the "gluten-free" option was limited to just one dish: tortellini. This seemed a bit rude and insensitive to those who were forced to do so, but unfortunately, they weren't the only ones today. Other dishes were also unavailable, but I assume for the same reason as the day before. The food was overall good but not special, and the portions were just right. The service, I would say, was attentive but very discreet; they nevertheless tried to make us feel comfortable and accommodated our every need.

14/11/2025: Excellent experience, delicious food, attention to detail, welcoming, clean, and refined atmosphere. Definitely worth a try.
