Osteria La Rava e la fava In Sarezzano

Popular Osteria in the center of Sarezzano The landscape of Piedmont in the province of Alesandria on the border with Liguria is characterized by huge grain and rice fields. Wine only grows in the somewhat steeper hills around Tortona, the Colle Tortonesi. The vineyard called Derthona is still almost untouched by tourism. The small mountain village of Sarezzano is one of the places that presents itself authentically to the visitor. The Osteria and Bar La Rava e la Fava is located on the village square near the church. It is the only restaurant in the town center and the terrace on the village square is always busy at lunchtime and in the evening. The fact that there were no local alternatives to this restaurant wasn't a problem. Because during our visit it turned out that the cuisine was surprisingly good and creative. Our Primi exceeded our expectations: Homemade Spaghetti alla Chitarra Cacio & Pepe with a Pecorino ice cream topping was just as much of a pasta highlight as the Capellini with Colatura die Alici, a raw scampo and bottarga. The anchovy sauce from the Amalfi Coast is considered Italian umami among foodies. After this culinary surprise in the village, we were curious about the main courses - they would also have been a credit to any upscale restaurant: low-temperature cooked, Suckling pig fillet marinated in smoked honey sauce with caramelized Tropea onions and striped bream fillets fried with seafood and a pepperoni-orange cream with black olive powder and taralli (small half-round breadsticks). The inconspicuous village restaurant impressively proves why Piedmont cuisine is so popular with gourmets. We paid an extremely cheap 74 euros for the excellent dinner for two - Happy Italy!

Cena di San Valentino personalizzata per i due commensali (F e M). Simpatica iniziativa ad un prezzo più che umano e portate di buon livello. Bravi

Bravi.... veramente consigliato!

A trattoria that offers an attractive and appetizing menu with land and sea dishes. Well-matched flavors and first-choice ingredients. Friendly courteous staff who propose, with a smile, what the kitchen prepares. It's worth the stop, the detour and also the journey. Excellent quality/price ratio. When we returned after a few months we repeated the positive experience: well done!

They had "emigrated" to Tortona and now returned to the little square of Serazzano! Excellent and always excellent dishes. Osteria that differs for the better from other establishments in the area for its delicious and tasty offerings. At midday also menus at very competitive prices.

A nice and warm place The service was as excellent as the food The friendly and direct owner with always a lurking laugh. The outside in spring and summer is priceless. Absolutely worth visiting. P.s. the cacio e pepe is very good.

Sono tornata alla riapertura in un locale che ricordavo con buon cibo e ottimo servizio. Ho ritrovato piatti buoni ( nella media) ma aumentati di prezzo e porzioni mignon. Menu con funghi ( siamo in stagione) ma esauriti. Servizio da rivedere con una cameriera che invece di porgere il piatto al commensale, metteva i vari piatti in centro al tavolo urlando cosa c'era nel singolo piatto in modo che ognuno si servisse ( eravamo in 12). Se è un buffet ditelo......decisamente peggiorato e mi spiace

Osteria worth trying...excellent food, very knowledgeable owners...Erika fantastic!!...no small feat, very young and very kind staff...I can't wait to return. Mushrooms..Top..risotto..exceptional..

Attentive, friendly and professional staff Clean, welcoming and warm place! Clean and fragrant bathrooms Excellent food! Highly recommended We had goose tartare with porcini mushrooms, tagliolini with porcini mushrooms, pork cheek and tiramisu. It was all delicious and there is good quality for the price!

Beautiful place among the Tortona hills near Sarezzano we come across this little pearl Where the combination of hospitality and goodness of the food will definitely make us return
