Osteria del Mercato In Bellinzago novarese

Great place for a work lunch break

Sunday lunch, we made a reservation for 13, there are four of us, we arrived and were shown to the veranda, which is a very beautiful glass structure. The menu was announced by the kind owner, and from the suggestions, we opted for three house appetizers to share: a pisarei e fasò, a portion of caserecce zola and hazelnuts, plus a half portion, and a pork shank escalope with prunes. The appetizer consisted of a platter of cured meats, prosciutto, salami, and coppa piacentina, a homemade giardiniera, meatballs, lard, pancetta, and a semi-fresh tomino cheese, all very good and in more than adequate portions. Sparkling water and house red wine were served. The first courses were also good; the pisarei leaned a bit sweet, but that's their characteristic. The second course was truly delicious, soft and flavorful, paired with the sweet flavor of the stewed prunes. There's no dessert, we're too full, so we'll end here. Everything was very good, the atmosphere pleasant, and the service fast and discreet. The bill was a solid €100 with a small discount, not bad at all. Congratulations, we'll definitely continue to frequent this place. S.F. 01390008 of 11/01/2026
