Ristorante Borgo Sant'Anna by Pasquale Laera In Monforte d'alba

19/03/2024: Located in the historic Piazza Caduti per la Libertà, with the best baroque-style monuments of the beautiful city of BRA, in front of the imposing façade of the church of Sant'Andrea, with the façade of the Municipality attributed to Vittone, the stupendous Mattis palace from the 18th century and the Traversa palace, the Cantinetta has always been a traditional city bar that has been able to resist the rapid changes of the times. With the quality, professionalism and courtesy of the owner Sergio Miscia and his staff, who have been able to adapt to current times, without distorting themselves and losing the authenticity of the place. A lovely terrace in the small square, the wonderful underground cellar with the classic brick vaults of ancient Piedmont which gives a unique charm, the room on the ground floor with the counter and the beautiful, carefully selected bottles that represent the territory and beyond. Classic bar for a breakfast with good pastries and focaccia, or an aperitif with Langa and Roero wines or Alta Langa bubbles adds its strong point in modern catering, both for the business lunch, usually frequented by local customers and gourmet tourists looking for a quality dish, accompanied by a good glass of wine without wasting precious time and with a truly excellent quality/price ratio. Today for a light working lunch, we reluctantly left behind fantastic traditional first courses for a fantastic breaded steak that we improperly call Milanese. In reality, in our large province, the leg meat of the Albese sub-breed is very tender and tasty, the pride of the butchers of Brai, together with the renowned sausage, lightly coated with egg and breadcrumbs and lightly fried. In my opinion one of the best things about peasant cuisine. A good bottle of Ribolla Gialla Friulano to celebrate Saint Joseph and the fathers and a good coffee. Very correct bill (50.00ero for two people) for a light and tasty break, served with professionalism, kindness and kindness. Worth trying for tourists attracted by our authentic and beautiful city, by the readings of the great Giovanni Arpino, by the Romans of ancient Pollentia or by the religious mystery of the flowering plum tree of the grandiose sanctuary of the Madonna dei Fiori
