14/08/2025: I recommend visiting the place, excellent service from the owners Flavio and Monica, excellent staff, excellent menu, changes according to the period, I will repeat the experience thanks to all of you

12/08/2025: After some time, we returned with friends to this magnificent restaurant, a true institution since 1961, and dined on the beautiful outdoor terrace decorated with charming table lamps. As soon as we were seated, we were treated to an excellent fresh/cold tomato soup (a sort of gazpacho) with "fusilli" (a kind of potato soup) served as chips. Then we ordered: 5 appetizers (€80): Black fagotelli stuffed with shrimp and scallops and baked cherry tomato soup (€16); 2 portions of Fassone in three ways, marinated round steak, tartare, and traditional veal with tuna sauce (€16), one of the cult appetizers; 2 portions of crispy courgette flowers stuffed with creamed cod on a pea cream (€16), a truly delicious dish. 5 Second Courses (€104): 2 portions of cod with creamed zucchini, aromatic sun-dried tomato bread (€22), an excellent second course; 2 portions of rabbit roll stuffed with herbs, cherry reduction, and crispy asparagus (€20), a tender and flavorful second course; and the traditional carpione (€20), Milanese, char, egg, and vegetables... needless to say, delicious! 5 Desserts (€40): 2 portions of Giandughiotto with hazelnut ice cream (€8), a delight; Excellent trio of sorbets (€8). Peach, mango, and green apple; the house ice cream with fior di latte and apricot soup (a must-try!); and the crunchy meringue, raspberry, and Riviera lemon cream basket. The dinner was accompanied by excellent bread (baked by them) and breadsticks, three bottles of water and a highly regarded Piedmontese sparkling wine, Fontanafredda Alta Langa DOCG Limited Edition, two excellent Japanese whiskies, and a coffee for a total of €285 (about €57/person, a decidedly reasonable price for an excellent dinner in an elegant and relaxing setting with excellent ingredients). I'd also like to add the attentive, efficient, kind, and cheerful service in a "relaxing restaurant" (as I like to call them!)... or rather, more than a restaurant... a local gem! Highly recommended!
