Osteria della Gardetta In Acceglio

First let me say Gaia was so, so helpful. We asked for some thoughts on local hikes, and she was very knowledgeable and willing to give her time. Also, the food was super tasty! The only reasons we would give four stars are 1) the floors were super creaky which made it a little more difficult to keep the sound down; 2) it would have been nice to have an outlet in our room near the beds, though this is not so important; 3) breakfast was served with a delicious compote but only with bread as an accompaniment, making it the least nice breakfast we had seen across seven locandas/rifugios. As the last diners, we did ask for eggs, which were granted, but we noticed no one else was served eggs, and that was kind of unfair.

The evening meal was exceptional. Delicious pasta with creamy zucchini and mint, zucchini omelet, polenta with pamiggiana (tomato, eggplant, and cheese), and... tiramisu for dessert (a very good meat dish for non-vegetarians). A very warm welcome and very friendly service.

A rare place! Frozen in time, with its warmth and simple, divine cuisine!!! Today we were lucky enough to find Ula (a typical Piedmontese minestrone), a true delight! A place to try, or rather, to discover! Thank you for keeping these places alive.

It was a weekday, with not many people around. In this context, the selection is rightly limited, but of good quality. We had excellent ravioli with homemade ragù, cooked on the stove and served with courtesy. We'll definitely return if we're in the area.
