Trattoria del Ciclista In Borgomanero

Chi entra alla “trattoria del ciclista”, o è per puro caso (ma non è così facile da trovare) o perché vuol provare un’esperienza vecchio stile, un’immergersi in un’atmosfera surreale e fuori dal tempo. Io, dopo diversi anni, ci sono tornato per curiosità, abbasta preparato a quel che avrei potuto trovare e avrei volentieri pagato anche solo per quello. Nei giorni feriali, per pranzo, c’è un menù fisso, con un po’ di scelta tra quello che hanno preparato, a 13€ e, se possibile, accettano qualche richiesta.. bisogna contestualizzare per quello che si paga. Ho captato qualche frase degli anziani proprietari e li ho trovati divertenti, probabilmente sono parte dell’ambiente da una vita. Io ho scelto un risottino ai funghi (ben cotto ma un po’ sapido) e il piatto tipico di Borgomanero, il tapulone (carne trita cotta col vino), che ho apprezzato, finendo con un buon caffè. Per la spesa non posso certo lamentarmi, ma ripeto.. bisogna sempre esprimere i giudizi considerando, ambiente, contesto, spesa. Questo luogo può piacere o no: personalmente sono grato che posti del genere ancora esistano.

Those who enter the "cyclist's restaurant" are either by pure chance (but it's not so easy to find) or because they want to try an old-fashioned experience, immersing themselves in a surreal and timeless atmosphere. After several years, I returned out of curiosity, quite prepared for what I might find and would have gladly paid even just for that. On weekdays, for lunch, there is a fixed menu, with a bit of choice from what they have prepared, at €13 and, if possible, they accept some requests... you have to put it into context for what you pay. I heard some phrases from the elderly owners and found them funny, they have probably been part of the environment all their lives. I chose a mushroom risotto (well cooked but a little savory) and the typical Borgomanero dish, tapulone (minced meat cooked with wine), which I appreciated, finishing with a good coffee. As for the expense, I certainly can't complain, but I repeat... judgments must always be made considering the environment, context and expense. You may like this place or not: personally I am grateful that places like this still exist.

Trattoria from times gone by. Simple and homely environment. Excellent prices. Traditional dishes.

If you like a family environment, typical and homemade food, this is the right place. We were a table of 13 people and we left happy and satisfied. I gave everything a 5 because we had a really good time because it's not a checked paper tablecloth that can make the difference (obviously talking about a restaurant). The owners are really helpful and approachable. And the tapulone, a novelty for me, very good.

Un lugar de otros tiempos. . una trattoria súper sencilla y rústica que propone platos locales súper deliciosos, caseros. . el mejor tapulón de la zona. . . a precios de otros tiempos. . lástima que tiempo de lugares tan históricos son probablemente se cuenta

Excellent place served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. I recommend it

You can call it a second home... also because the owner is very nice and you feel like you're going back to the past with him speaking the Borgomanera dialect...

Once upon a time restaurant in the province of Novara
