Regis In Fossano

It may seem strange, but rather than inviting, I was invited to dine at this restaurant a few nights ago, to celebrate my 50th birthday. I had always heard about it, for better (for the place and the food) and for worse (for the presumed lack of courtesy of the owners) but I had never had the opportunity to try it. The impression, at the entrance, was that of a place of supreme elegance, but from another era: dim light, crochet curtains, furnishings everywhere with a slightly retro taste, chairs covered with fabric that touches the ground and carpets everywhere. A lady who is no longer young, elegantly dressed in black and with a slightly intimidating look, accompanies us to the table and seats us kindly, but without too many words (which absolutely does not mean being rude). After a few minutes the wine list arrives and, to my surprise, I see that it is limited to Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Barolo which they produce in their La Morra cellar; all offered at more than affordable prices. I choose a bottle of Barbera which is pleasant on the palate and easy to drink. Following, the menu which includes traditional dishes expressed for what they are without the use of high-sounding names; there are 4/5 starters, 2 first courses and 4/5 second courses, no dessert and for dessert strawberries with sugar and lemon. There are four of us and we choose an appetizer, a first course and a second course each as well as dessert. Let's order: - 1 raw minced meat and 3 veal with tuna sauce - 2 ravioli with butter and 2 tagliatelle with asparagus - 2 liver with onions and 2 sliced ​​veal (with asparagus, as a side dish) All the dishes are essential, not presented in a scenographic way, but with an authentic flavor that is reminiscent in every way of "grandmother's cooking". My expectations were not disappointed and what I found reflects quite faithfully what I had always heard. The price, online: €/each. 40.00 all inclusive.

Historic and central place... Soft light with lit candles that give a sense of tranquility... rooms meticulously decorated with particular objects, curtains and embroidered and impressive tablecloths... Dinner served quickly and excellent traditional dishes... Good wine... Very kind owners, worth trying!

beautiful restaurant, excellent food, kindness
