Locanda Viola In Pagazzano

A gastronomic journey around the world It's not just a tasting menu. It's an itinerary. At Locanda Viola, chef Filippo creates a journey that crosses continents, techniques, and culinary influences, always maintaining balance and identity. The feeling is that of sitting down at the table and setting off. Each dish is a stage. We begin in Piedmont with a 100% Pinot Noir classic method sparkling wine from Cascina Galletto, Alta Langa. An elegant and vertical wine, perfect for pairing with entrées. Among these, Empanadas Chilena with scamorza sorrentina cheese, shrimp, and coriander and cumin mayonnaise. Latin comfort food reinterpreted with great technique. The journey continues with Inama's Vulcaia Sauvignon, which accompanies a refined fish dumpling filled with mussels, sea bass, and shrimp with soy chutney, raw Mazara red shrimp, and scallop. We then travel to Oceania with the NZ Seafood Chowder, a New Zealand curry-infused soup with mussels, sea bass, prawns, and smoked swordfish. Paired with a surprising Pinot Noir Côte d’Or from Burgundy, a bold yet perfectly executed choice. From Thailand comes the Thai Beef Salad with marinated Simmenthal fillet, Thai dressing, sesame, and peanuts, accompanied by a vibrant and sharp Alto Adige Riesling. Then India takes us on a journey with creamy Butter Chicken served with naan bread and an aromatic and enveloping Gewürztraminer from Alsace. The finale is Churros with dulce de leche paired with ApiAnae, a sweet wine rich in honey and dried fruit. The experience concludes with an elegant Cihuatán Sahumerio rum. Welcoming us in the dining room is Giulia, the chef's wife and the perfect hostess. Competent, friendly, and able to guide you with great ease. Locanda Viola surprises with its personality. Refined ingredients, expert technique, and a cuisine that combines comfort and innovation in a genuine gastronomic journey.

Had dinner yesterday with my partner. The atmosphere was very intimate and refined, and the dishes were excellent. The quality of the ingredients, the attention to detail in the dishes, and the attentive service would deserve a star.

We've been loyal customers of Locanda Viola for several years now, and it's become a regular for us. The dishes are refined but not overly eccentric, and the pairings are always thoughtful and spot-on. The menu changes frequently and has never disappointed us. Highly recommended.

We tried the "Our Journey" tasting menu, featuring six courses chosen by the chef. The food had influences from around the world. Everything was refined and delicious. A very welcoming place and highly recommended for couples. The service was excellent. One small flaw: they ran out of the dessert I wanted to try.

My favorite restaurant. Welcoming, sweet and helpful staff, incredible fusion cuisine.

The game is not worth the candle

I went last night with friends. The menu was unique and interesting, with very good, flavorful, and well-balanced dishes. Attentive service, a very well-maintained venue, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. Highly recommended, even if you're not in the area.

The restaurant offers international cuisine, with influences from all over the world, impeccably prepared. I recommend the more comprehensive tasting menu, which offers a variety of specialties at a reasonable price (and not cheap, but affordable for a special occasion or celebration).

Waiting time too long (12:00. At 2:00 only for the first

We stumbled upon Locanda Viola by chance, a bit rushed and not quite knowing what to expect... and yet it was a wonderful discovery! From the first moment, they made us feel at home, welcome guests, and pampered down to the smallest detail. Unfortunately, we were short on time and had to grab a quick lunch due to other commitments, but we immediately decided we'd definitely be back: not only to leisurely savor the excellent cuisine, but also to enjoy the meticulous service and genuine kindness of the staff. It was a true pleasure to stumble upon this place, and from now on, it will be one of our go-to restaurants in the area. Thank you for pampering us so well, even in a quick visit!
