Mea Culpa Crema&Cioccolato In Viverone

A place that stands out among the many crowded places, first for its spaciousness inside and out, second for its aesthetics. All glass-enclosed so you can enjoy the view of Lake Viverone 🏞 We arrived shortly after lunchtime, around 2:00 PM, and we looked at the menu 📓, which contained some delicacies and, I must say, fairly reasonable prices. First small problem... the wait! It wasn't very long, but after waiting 25-30 minutes just to be seated, we noticed that just before inviting us to sit, they had let a couple pass in front of us (those who had been waiting in line for a few minutes)... but mistakes can happen; the important thing is to be seated and start eating. We order a Roast Beef 🥩 with arugula and cherry tomatoes for around €9.50, an octopus 🐙 with potatoes for €10, and a "pinsa" 🍕 with Bresaola and Parmesan shavings 🧀. At which point the girl who was taking orders in the OUTDOOR area (VERY KIND AND SUPER HELPFUL) advises that the octopus is finished, then corrects herself and says that perhaps there is some left (but she needs to confirm with the kitchen). The moral of the story is that we wait for the dishes to arrive and, in addition to discovering that neither oil nor salt had been added throughout the entire table service, we send the octopus 🐙 back because all that arrives is a plate full of potatoes🥔 with 3-4 small pieces of octopus. Rightly, seeing dishes at the tables closest to us, we didn't intend to remain silent and not point this out... Instead of this last dish, we ordered a Valdostana pinsa, which arrived at our table in no time. Here, I'd like to point out the quality of the focaccia, or rather "pinsa," in favor of the restaurant. It wasn't "00" flour, but rather semolina or buckwheat. Regardless, it was very, very good 💯 We continued our lunch. I abstained from dessert, but we requested a cone 🍦 to go. I can confirm that I kept seeing many beautiful and inviting ice cream cups 🍨 pass before our eyes. The size of the cones was very finicky, and the quality of the restrooms was decent (considering the packed house). I think 4 ⭐️ stars are more than deserved. A bit of confusion among the girls in the dining room and at the counter, a SPECTACULAR wine cellar 🍷 where I posted the photo. Will I go back? I'm sure it's with friends or a group. 😉

A very modern venue with large and beautiful windows overlooking the lake, a wide choice of drinks and an excellent homemade cream, friendly service but without any particular suggestions.
