Osteria BIllis In Tortona

13/08/2025: Stumbled upon this place after looking for a restaurant in the area that would serve pasta dishes. Called and made a reservation (recommended as they do get busy) and they were happy to accommodate. The pasta dishes on the menu currently are a 3 tomato spaghetti, and a cacio e pepe parpadelle with prawn tartare, so not your average lengthy list of pasta dishes but more bespoke and delicious. The 3 chocolate mousse with tangerine gel for dessert was amazing, as was the White Chocolate Lava Cake. So save room for dessert. The ambiance of the whole restaurant is lovely, and the staff friendly and attentive. Just watch out for mosquitoes if you’re going in the height of summer and go prepared with repellent spray etc. as they were out in force. The restaurant had incense burner repellent measures in place and no slight on them that mozzies were present, but something to be aware of to go prepared!

08/08/2025: We had dinner on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. There were 4 of us adults. We had two courses each and dessert. Everything was good, and none of the desserts appealed to me. I opted for a rum. We dined out, and unfortunately, the midges proved to be a nuisance. The portions were a bit small, and the free welcome drink was so small that perhaps it would be better not to serve it. 4 stars because the food was good in a nice place with good service, but the dishes weren't unforgettable.
