Mastrociliegia In Novara

01/09/2025: The minimum price for a "pentolaccia" is €70 and is for two people (it doesn't serve one). It's very well made. The pasta is good quality, but in my case it was slightly overcooked, but I admit that's my preference for al dente pasta.

01/09/2025: Very good, high-quality food, great atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff. Areas for improvement: Ambience: even better with candles on the table. Service: It's best to avoid sharing unhappy experiences with customers; it's not a sign of good manners. When bringing a plate to the table, you should note if the glasses are empty and promptly ask for a refill. If you use the provided napkins, it would be great if the waiter took them away once used (they took the bread basket but left the used napkins on the table). If a customer stains the leather placemat with sauce, the waiter should wipe it clean for the next course. When asking for the bill, if you need to go to the cashier yourself to pay, the waiter should let you know right away. The cashier could ask the waiter for the table number instead of the customer. Let's be clear: these are all subtleties that don't matter at all for a "true" place, but for a place with a rich history that wants to improve, they could be a great idea.
