Locanda dei Vigneti In Costa vescovato

26/05/2025: We went to this restaurant to celebrate my mother's birthday and we have fond memories of it. The location is enchanting, surrounded by greenery with a breathtaking view from the parking lot (convenient and very close to the restaurant). The environment is intimate, with attention to detail and welcoming, with a family atmosphere made even more pleasant by the kindness and friendliness of the owners, truly attentive from start to finish. We were greeted with a welcome aperitif and a salami to slice directly at the table, a simple but original gesture. The appetizers based on cold cuts and cheeses were tasty, as were the desserts, well presented and enriched with a delicious zabaglione cream, although perhaps slightly expensive considering the technical simplicity of the cakes. Some dishes were less convincing: the saffron-sautéed rice au gratin with fondue seemed too dry and not very tasty, while the Castelmagno, honey and hazelnut gnocchi were decidedly sweet, so much so as to be a bit cloying. The tagliata, requested rare, arrived well done. The agnolotti with white ragù from Monferrato and the green tagliatelle were very good. Overall, the prices are fair, even though there are similar alternatives in the area with a better quality-price ratio. However, the quality of the welcome, the sincere attention to the customer and the final gesture - a kind tribute to my mother - really made the difference. You can clearly feel the passion and care that the owners put into their work, and this is worth a lot. This makes customers come back. And we will gladly come back.

27/04/2025: We went on Saturday for lunch (reservation recommended), the staff is very friendly and the dishes very good, the atmosphere welcoming. The only negative flaw is that it was not specified on the menu that the homemade sorbet was alcoholic, and for those who are teetotal like me this could be a problem. For the rest everything was excellent, highly recommended.
