Osteria Al Canale In Valguarnera caropepe

Very good pasta dishes and sausage! Also very inexpensive. We decided on a last minute meal in Valguarnera and went to Osteria Al Canale. We weren't disappointed.

Very friendly service, it's good, simple and inexpensive. Traditional trattoria with grills. Dishes between 8 and 12€ well served. You can park opposite on the sidewalk.

Welcome and service provided by the owner, a very kind and polite blonde lady. A la carte menu with the presentation of off-menu items by the chef, a young boy who is also very kind. We decide to have 2, a tagliatelle with pork ragù, porcini mushrooms and truffle, a leg of mutton with wine, parmigiana tripe and coffee semifreddo. The tagliatelle rated 6.5, the seasoning was little and the truffle was not noticeable, the pasta was industrial (in a restaurant I expect pasta made by them or in any case of high quality) and the presence of stock cubes was noticeable. The leg rated 7.5, good raw materials, cooking and quantity. The tripe rated 9, perfectly balanced between sauce and aubergines, not much parmesan. Coffee semifreddo... I can't give a rating, it was a sort of industrial viennetta that doesn't give credit to a place where tradition is expected. Bill 42 euros including cover charge and a bottle of water and a bowl of salad that the chef himself brought us with the second courses "to degrease". In conclusion, a positive experience, even if some "confusing" choices appear incomprehensible: the stock cube for the pasta, the salad clearly from the mixed supermarket bag seasoned only with oil and salt and with coarse pieces as the industry wants, the unpresentable Viennetta.

Accoglienza e servizio a cura della proprietaria, una signora bionda molto gentile e a modo. Menu alla carta con la presentazione dei fuori menù a cura del cuoco, un ragazzo giovane anche lui molto gentile. Decidiamo di prendere in 2, una tagliatella con ragù di suino, porcini e tartufo, un cosciotto di castrato al vino, la trippa alla parmigiana e semifreddo al caffè . Le tagliatelle voto 6,5 il condimento era poco e il tartufo non si sentiva, la pasta era industriale (in trattoria mi aspetto pasta fatta da loro o cmq di alta qualità) e si sentiva la presenza di dado. Il cosciotto voto 7,5, buona la materia prima e la cottura e la quantità. La trippa voto 9, perfettamente equilibrata tra sugo e melanzane, poco il parmigiano. Semifreddo al caffè...non posso dare voto era una sorta di viennetta industriale che non dà merito ad un posto dove ci si aspetta tradizione. Conto 42 euro compreso coperto e una bottiglia di acqua e una ciotola di insalata che lo stesso chef ci ha portato con i secondi "per sgrassare" . In conclusione esperienza positiva, anche se appaiono incomprensibili alcune scelte "confuse": il dado per la pasta, l'insalata palesemente della busta mista da supermarket condita solo con olio e sale e con pezzi grossolani come l'industria vuole, la viennetta impresentabile.

I recommend it, excellent service, excellent and plentiful food and above all very kind
