08/08/2024: Over the river Po on a really nice street lined with shops and other eateries, there is a really nice vibe about this area. I had prebooked, (and I definitely recommend you do the same), dinner for 7.30pm and I was the first diner there, greeted by a lovely staff member, I sat outside, as it was a beautiful evening and nice atmosphere on the street. The menu was excellent, really hard to choose something, actually the first page is a tasting menu, which I would have loved to try, but it was too much for one person to eat. I chose "la Profumata" and it was absolutely delicious. The wine was very good. I noticed that it was served by the "glass" or ", bottle " this may sound obvious, but on all my other trips to Italy, wine is served by the quarter and half liters, which I prefer, as it's an actual measurement, pouring by hand is not fully accurate. The outside sitting area was full within half an hour, the staff were actually bringing out more tables and chairs. From what I could see, the only toilet was down in the cellar, they were clean and very nice, but the steps were steep, just so you know. I definitely recommend eating here, for high quality food with a different spin.
27/07/2024: Dinner to celebrate a special occasion (anniversary)... satisfied with the experience, we will return because there is absolutely nothing to say about the quality and flavors.
Unfortunately, the wait was long and, in personal opinion, a lack of attention to some details.
We decided to try the tasting menu with wine tasting itinerary.
Introduction: the place was fully booked for a Tuesday evening and the owner apologised, explaining the wait also due to the lack of 2-3 staff members.
We sat down at 9.15pm, the order was taken shortly after and we started eating at around 10.25pm. The tasting journey started and between one dish and another the wait was correct.
A little less pleasant was the fact of having to ask for bread which at the other tables, seated even after us, arrived with the water or with the first course ordered while at our table it arrived after a couple of requests when we were already halfway through of the trio of starters.
I was also sorry for the wines that were not explained, not even a mention of the type of wine and without showing the label... good, but we don't know what we drank specifically, also because the order in which they were served was not it seemed to be the one listed on the menu 🤷♀️
On the menu: prosecco - nebbiolo rosé - merlot - moscato
The following were served to our palate and sight: rosé - still white - merlot - passito
The photos are of my journey, but I also had the opportunity to taste my boyfriend's dishes and absolutely nothing to say about the flavors and combinations. Everything was delicious from starters to desserts! We left really full!
For the location, some ambient lights or a candle at the table would be a nice detail for personal taste!
