Ristorante AL 9 In Chieri

Dinner with the family. The environment is very pleasant, simple and quiet. Discreet and attentive service. The dishes are all excellent, in particular the 'amuse bouche' everyone liked. Good wine list with a wide choice. Definitely recommended.

If you want to fully enjoy the experience they offer you, you have to try the tasting menu accompanied by the wines chosen by them. It's an explosion of flavors

I can't say I ate badly, however the experience was not as positive as I expected. We took the 4-course free-hand menu (dessert included). Right portions to finish the meal without feeling tired. The dishes were good, well made, solid. The problem was the service understood not as waiters (impeccable) but everything else. Instead of immediately bringing us the wine list, we are brought a mini aperitif wine list, only by the glass. At least the proposals were valid.... The menu isn't there: the market cuisine is excellent, but the fact of describing the courses verbally is out of the question: I want the menu on paper not only for the prices (the only thing on the menu brought ) but to be able to consider the courses carefully. Done like this, it is a semi-obligatory invitation to take the tasting menu.... The crockery with which the various dishes were served were beautiful but not very practical: in particular the fact of having served the snails without a plate but only a bowl (where do I put the cutlery once I've finished?) We chose the wine pairing with the dishes: very, very questionable. 3 glasses of which only 1 for starter and first course (a reasonable Sauvignon): 2 would have made more sense..... The fish of the second course was paired with a BARBERA (also with a lot of wood), and the third glass was a passito paired with a mini dessert (useless). All for 25 euros each.... Well... In the end 90 euros each: max 70 would have been right to leave reasonably happy.

Sublime experience. 5 course menu included in a smartbox, all remarkable. Greedy and tasty amouse-bouche, with a pleasantly unexpected note at the end (spoon with fried sage leaf, white chocolate and caper powder), accompanied by a glass, then the real journey begins. The first impact, with an egg yolk candy on tomato and basil pesto, is exceptional. Second appetizer with fish fillet, very good although less surprising, then an exceptional risotto in which the beetroot is balanced very well by the boost of the olives. Second course with pork cooked at low temperature, very soft (I personally would have preferred a final browning, but according to my wife it was perfect like this). Dessert with a superb revisited tiramisu. Coffee and small pastry shop, to tell the truth, negligible and not up to par with the rest. Very quiet environment, pleasant music inside at the right volume, very well spaced tables outside. Important and fortunately well-selected wine list, costs accordingly (each glass around 10 euros). Passito and Ruche were fabulous. Attentive and unpretentious service. In short, what can I say, a restaurant that deserves a mention in the Michelin guide, much more than others, and where you can have a divine dinner. The only note that can be improved is to do a treatment against mosquitoes, now kept away (effectively) by scattered mosquito traps.

Michelin guide restaurant in the center of Chieri, elegant and with a nice summer terrace. The menu is seasonal, in fact the dishes are not listed but only the cost, as seasonality is followed. It is possible to make 2 tasting menus, of 4 or 6 dishes, which can be combined with a wine tasting if desired. The products are excellent and expertly cooked, nothing is left to chance. The staff is kind and attentive, personally I just found the service a little long, an hour of waiting from when you sit down to the starter is too long in my opinion, but there can be some delay. Ideal for a romantic dinner or with friends. The 6-course menu costs €60, drinks and cover charge excluded. I absolutely recommend
