Locanda Le Cicale In Varzi

27/05/2025: My dinner at the Guallina restaurant was a real discovery, a journey through elegant and well-balanced flavors. From the moment I entered, the warm and refined atmosphere of the restaurant made me feel welcomed, while the staff - kind and competent - made the experience even more pleasant. As an appetizer I chose the goose liver paté with croutons: an intense and refined dish, perfectly balanced in flavors. The creaminess of the paté married perfectly with the crunchiness of the croutons, giving a truly tasty start to the meal. Next, the rice with bay leaves and Breme onion: a surprising and delicate combination. The scent of the bay leaves and the sweetness of the onion created a unique harmony, enhancing the rice without overpowering its simplicity. A dish that shows great attention to raw materials and technique. In short, Guallina is a restaurant that combines tradition and creativity with great elegance. Recommended for those looking for sincere, well-executed and exciting cuisine. I will definitely be back!

03/05/2025: Excellent trattoria, simple and classic style but clean and sober. We ate everything based on goose. Starter of goose cured meats and really excellent pate, especially the latter (usually it seems cloying to me), followed by ravioli with goose meat in butter (I also tried the cannelloni with asparagus, this dish is also really tasty and worth a try!) and for the second course...baked goose for the whole table with baked potatoes! the meat was really tasty and tender, spectacular. The entire meal was accompanied by a good Buttafuoco red wine, the list of wines available is really long and varied, the bitters and grappas available at the end of the meal are also extensive. It's really worth it!
