19/01/2025: Careful service, not excessively formal, from a brilliant guy. If he notices that the glass is almost empty, he pours you the wine. Totally underground place, without windows, but far from being gloomy or damp. A lot of work has certainly been done to make it pleasant in terms of temperature and air quality. The furnishings and equipment are in a minimal style: tablecloth and cloth napkins in neutral tones, cutlery and double glass. The only small flaw is a chipped glass, which however does not affect the quality of the evening. Let's move on to food. Small welcome entrée with a scoop of Russian salad, bread, focaccia and breadsticks, then the first courses arrived. Two tagliolini, one with sausage ragout, very tasty, and one with butter and black truffle. There is a separate list for the dishes that can be ordered with truffles, on this occasion only black: it was very fragrant and plentiful on the plate, worth the money spent. The meat-based second courses consisted of a braised pork neck that melted in the mouth and a very tender, medium-cooked shoulder fillet. The shoulder fillet is a rarity and I appreciated it. For both dishes, a side dish of baked potatoes and carrots, well cooked and flavored with aromatic herbs. For dessert we had a Basque cheesecake (just the right amount, more would be heavy for me) and a cup of cream ice cream with sauces and crumbled biscuits. The ice cream was full of lemony aromas and with an excellent consistency. Wide choice of wines, we took a young, soft Barbera, which at the end of dinner was corked and given to us in a bag to finish at home. Unfortunately in many places it seems like a burden to have to close the leftover wine for the customer, this is not the case! Bill commensurate with the quality of what we ate and the service: around €50 each, excluding wine. There is the possibility, in my opinion convenient, to choose the complete tasting menu for €40, interesting for those who want an overview of Piedmontese cuisine.
