We had an aperitivo at this really cute place, with excellent service and plentiful food. We expected the usual chips and peanuts served with appetizers, but instead we were treated to a truly generous platter, with cheeses, pickles, breadsticks, and some lovely slices of Bologna. In short, by the end, we were full and satisfied.

Pan & Vino is a regular stop when I pass through Orta, where there's certainly no shortage of options, but they're often "touristy" or traditional.
I've always enjoyed eating and drinking here; the quality is evident.
Today's panzanella, in particular, was truly superb.
Filippo, the dachshund, also thanks me for the breadsticks...

When you arrive for lunch in the most beautiful square in the province, you think you're just another number, but instead you discover a perfect welcome from Tiziana, with an extraordinary smile, great professionalism, and so much passion. Everywhere you look, there's order, everything perfectly organized. Every time a diner leaves the table, she disinfects it, polishes it, and makes it smell as good as the bread she serves you. The polenta concia con la toma, served in an aluminum pan, is unrivaled. Excellent labels, a cheese and cured meat counter, textbook. The location is very pleasant inside, and extraordinary outside. The bill is in line with the setting, but it's definitely worth a visit.

We arrived a little late for lunch and asked if there was room. The waitress told us we could get in line: the place was full, and a couple was already waiting ahead of us. After about ten minutes, they seated us, and as soon as we were seated, they informed us that the kitchen had just closed and they could only serve us platters.
We accepted, more out of hunger than anything else, even though we had come specifically to try the polenta of the day. The platters were generous and made with quality ingredients, but the price (€77 for two with a water) seemed a bit high.
Overall, a decent experience, but it would have been more appropriate to let us know right away that the kitchen was already closed.

Located in Orta's main square, it has a large deli counter stocked with cured meats, cheeses, and much more. The dishes are generous and well-crafted, unique but delicious, and also offer excellent value for money, especially considering the location. Inside, the dining room is quite small, but welcoming and stylish. Their outdoor ice cream parlor, also in the square, is also very good.
