Osteria dei Catari In Monforte d'alba

I returned to this restaurant after six years and was pleasantly surprised to find that nothing has changed, but rather, it's only gotten better. Excellent food, unique dishes with unusual pairings, absolutely worth trying. The service was slow, but that's also the beauty of this place: enjoying an evening in a unique setting. The waiters were very friendly, especially Filippo, who was cheerful and welcoming. Reservations recommended.

Must visit if you are in the area! Just so special!

Good and good food in a lovely atmosphere. Not the best we have eaten but well prepared and tasty. The staff does everything to make you feel comfortable. We will gladly come back here.

I went to this restaurant with my husband last week. It was a beautiful July evening, and we were lucky enough to dine on the terrace: it's a lovely, original, comfortable, and romantic setting. We ordered appetizers, first courses, and dessert, and everything was delicious... so much so that we even asked for seconds. The owner and staff were very friendly and made our evening even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back; this restaurant is truly worth a visit, both for the food and the ambiance!

Super cozy courtyard environment, but unfortunately the restaurant cannot live up to the environment. Our waiter made a mistake in ordering, served the wrong water, forgot our wine and it was generally a hectic and messy experience. We ordered their steak - a T-bone filled with tendons. We were also not asked how we wanted it cooked. It was served medium rare. When we got in touch with a waiter, we were "taught" that there was fat in that kind of meat. I personally love a steak with feather marbling - but this one was tough and filled with tendons. When you pay 750 kr. for 2 steaks, the quality should be higher. Their pasta was super delicious on the other hand. They "compensated" for the meat by offering us the pasta dishes instead - but we still paid for the meat. There is room for improvement - because the place definitely has potential.

Outdoor seating in a very welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff and a menu with gluten-free options suitable for celiacs. It's important to let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements. Generous portions, even in the set menu version, and quality food. Recommended!!!

Somewhat hidden away...but it was worth it to get in without a reservation. Very friendly service, very good food. A glimpse into the region's cuisine. Highly recommended.

Very good restaurant and beautiful setting, but the service was very slow. We ordered the four-course menu at 8:00 PM, and by 10:30 PM we still hadn't received the fourth course. We had to ask several times about its status. It seemed that the tables around us were served much more quickly, as two tables nearby received two separate seatings (two different tables) while we didn't receive the same seating.

Great experience. Good food, just the right amount, and a lovely atmosphere. It's a shame about the really long wait.

Beautiful location, we had a very good risotto unlike the starters
