It is one of the most historic restaurants in Casale Monferrato, a very nice well-kept environment, they are attentive to the customer. Excellent dishes. The owner is very knowledgeable, I would like to say an excellent chef. You are fantastic.

I finally managed to book a table for three weeks, by calling one morning four days before a Sunday in February for lunch. Happy, I arrive at the place and find myself sitting down with my two guests at a table in the corner near the entrance door (continuously open and left ajar and so I had to get up three times and my guest once to close it otherwise he would get cold). Oh well, patience. I have nothing to complain about the service: all the young guys dedicated to table service were all prompt, fast and above all very kind. The bread basket with loose breadsticks and different types of bread, all delicious, was quickly replaced several times with a full one. The variety of the excellent wine list at fair prices. The à la carte menu has few things, but definitely cooked very well. The problem? The portions. There were three of us and we ordered a mixed platter of cold cuts to start and then I ordered a plate of tagliatelle and my two lunch companions two second courses of cheek with a side of potatoes already included in the dish. What has arrived? A cutting board with four slices of salami, four slices of coppa, four slices of raw ham and two types of cheese in four small, really small, rations... but weren't there three of us?... Oh well. My plate of pappardelle was ok, not abundant, not poor, but the two cheeks of my two companions were really few, good yes but really a small quantity with four touches of baked potatoes... even a little dry! The price? Too high for the given portions. We are not truckers who want a lot for little money, but I recognize when what I pay is too much for what I get on my plate. My two companions ordered the same dish a second time because they were still hungry. Alright. The sweets? Small portions but very good. No lactose-free dessert unfortunately, so my guest didn't get it. Now, for what we paid, for what we consumed and the room that remained the same as thirty years ago, where I spent my afternoons as a girl, it seems a bit presumptuous and expensive to me. I don't think I'll go again. I wanted to try it and I wasn't happy about the price, but only about that. There's no question about the quality, excellent. Sin.

Qui si sta bene! Se vi piace l’”orecchia di elefante” non rimarrete delusi. Noi, che ne siamo ghiotti, questa volta non l’abbiamo prenotata in tempo e abbiamo ripiegato su una tenera “tagliata” cotta a puntino. I primi (agnolotti, pasta alle acciughe, pappardelle ai porcini) sono cucinati a regola d’arte. Si spendono una 30ina di euro, senza i vini, ma si passa una serata felice.

We stopped for lunch in this historic restaurant in the center of Casale which offers a purely Piedmontese and traditional menu with the possibility of 3 tasting menus (€25-30-35), which are also very interesting.
We ordered:
3 starters: Smoked goose breast with a coulisse of red fruits (€12), a delicious and slightly more unusual starter and two Castelmagno, artichoke and pomegranate salads (€28), a very pleasant dish.
1 first course: Potato gnocchi with mushrooms and truly tasty herbs (€12)
2 seconds: Grilled Picanha with mixed salad (€16), tender and well cooked meat. One of the traditional appetizers, the fassona batte (€13), tender and tasty meat.
2 desserts: 2 Dark Chocolate Cake with Barolo Pear Diced (€14), an excellent conclusion to the lunch.
To accompany the meal, water (3 bottles) and the excellent Barbera Superiore Docg Vigna Serra 2020 Azienda Gatto (€16) and 3 coffees (€4.50) for a total of €127.50, adequate for the overall quality of what was tasted.
The service is formal and friendly, the very relaxing environment recalls the classic and reassuring restaurants of the past, while the menu varies in some dishes based on the seasonality of the raw materials.
Highly recommended stop!

Excellent food (above all agnolotti and braised meat, superlative!) and kindness of the guys who work there... I hadn't booked and they accommodated me straight away, finding me a place.

Place in the center of Casale, with a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of old inns. The service was a little too quick, with the impression of closing as soon as possible. Regarding the food, we can only talk about the 35 euro tasting menu that we tried: good but not excellent and still an adequate price taking into account that it also included wine and coffee.
