L'Ancora In Casteggio

26/08/2024: At the entrance, the owner welcomes you in an affable and friendly manner - a rarity these days -, invites you to sit down and, if it's your first time, explains the philosophy of the place. It makes you feel more like a guest than a customer, which is no small plus. Order and cleanliness are certainly another pride of the place. The ingredients are practically all local: from cured meats to cheeses to vegetables and beer, a variety of which - really good - is made with reused miccone, following the "tra via niente" philosophy. But the king of the table is, obviously, the miccone: its softness envelops the ingredients allowing the palate to enjoy them in all their goodness. The initiative on Thursday evening is commendable: the first drink is free to those who leave their mobile phone in a special box, thus setting aside the virtual dimension to experience the real dimension, that of conviviality and interpersonal relationships. At Miccone there is a serene atmosphere, priority is given to customer happiness and satisfaction. Sorry if it's not much.
