Trattoria Cuore d'Oro In Carisio

I discovered Trattoria Cuore d’Oro almost by chance, but it quickly became a truly memorable experience. Located in the hamlet of San Damiano in Carisio (VC), this rustic establishment maintains an authentic charm, just like the trattorias of yesteryear. As soon as you enter, you feel the warmth: simple furnishings, a few brick walls, cozy lighting, and a fireplace—everything contributes to a feel-good atmosphere. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always eager to make your day enjoyable. There's no pretense of elegance, but the care is there and it shows. What you eat here is local, traditional, flavorful, and TYPICAL: The panissa, with rice, beans, and sausage, is a heart-warming dish, hearty and flavorful. The pappardelle, which I didn't order this time, but I did try a little from Nunzia's plate. It was delicious. The fried frogs: a delicacy! Crispy, flavorful, just the right amount of rusticity, well-executed. I'd never tried them!!! The entire meal focuses on real ingredients, homemade dishes, and generous portions—a welcome bonus. The flavors are traditional Piedmontese, unfussy but full of character. The price is more than fair for what you get: quantity, deliciousness, and atmosphere. It's not "gourmet," but it doesn't pretend to be, and that's precisely what makes it special. The only small point: the menu is often "spoken out loud." I asked the lady for the menu, but she didn't bring it. It's not a serious problem, but it's something worth mentioning. If you're looking for a place to enjoy authentic Piedmontese cuisine, with dishes like panissa, frogs, and local first and second courses, in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, Cuore d'Oro is definitely worth marking in your diary. Five well-deserved stars: a pleasure for the palate and the soul.

Stumbled upon it by chance, returning from a business trip. The staff were really friendly, the service was quick, and everything was truly delicious. Congratulations....

A trattoria that truly defines itself. Welcoming, clean atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff. Superlative appetizers, including top-notch frogs and snails. Excellent tagliatelle with meat sauce.

We had lunch with friends and will be back to try other dishes. The cuisine offers simple, high-quality local dishes. The atmosphere is rustic yet very familiar. We tried various appetizers, including pickled trout, followed by the Piedmontese mixed fried fish, snails, and frogs... what can we say? We loved everything, including the homemade desserts.

Home-cooked food, fair prices, little parking

Typical and original dishes cooked really well.

The atmosphere isn't exciting, but the quality of the food and house wine is definitely high! Exceptional pickled trout, very good snails, and a typical risotto that's also worth trying! A typical old-fashioned osteria! I'll be back.

If you're looking for an old-fashioned trattoria, it's perfect. I gave it top marks because it meets my expectations for a trattoria (which isn't synonymous with a restaurant for me).

Un piacere per il palato e per la mente si uniscono in questa piccola ed intima trattoria nascosta tra le risaie a pochi minuti dal casello dell'autostrada. Piatti semplici ma sapori autentici che ti riportano ad un tempo dove l'accoglienza ti faceva sentire a casa. Per favore restate cosi'!!

Appena segnalata all’esterno, presenta un interno decoroso e pulito, da vera trattoria di campagna anni ‘60. Cucina vera del territorio, con piatti rari da trovare quali le rane fritte, prelibate. Buona la panissa e eccellente la trota in carpione, gustosissima. Servizio gentile e prezzi decisamente contenuti Una sosta veramente gradevole.
