Pasticceria e Caffetteria Bisco In Costigliole d'asti

31/07/2024: As a true Asti native and manager of a catering club, I had been meaning to experiment with the cuisine of this place for some time, attracted above all by the delights of fresh pasta. The welcome given to us by the owner was immediately very professional, but her friendly helpfulness soon took over. The selection of starters, not infinite but adequate for a summer lunch, made me lean towards a trio of stuffed courgette flowers (exceptional!), peppers with anchovies and green sauce (very delicate so as not to overshadow the pepper) and salad with beans-cherry tomatoes-sarzet-olives, some julienne of carrot and celeriac and strips of bacon (a riot of flavours, fresh and well balanced). The tajarin with sausage and diced gorgonzola proved to live up to expectations! For dessert the proposals are traditional: bunet (good and well made), panna cotta (honest, perhaps with a slightly bland caramel) and finally an excellent tiramisu (really recommended). (Sweets shared with the other guests) In short, one of the best places in the historic center for informal occasions. Excellent value for money: Trio of appetizers, a first course, a dessert, cover charge, water and coffee for €25 ... it's a shame that the sultry Asti summer leads to teetotalism.
