Trattoria la Pignatta In Ovada

19/08/2025: Unfortunately, this is the first time I've gotten home after lunch in Monferrato, and in the evening I can't wait to eat because I'm incredibly hungry. The location is basically a shared house with a small courtyard and a beautiful view of the hills. The wait times between courses were biblical, but that's understandable given that it was mid-August. What's not so great is the amount of food per course (like dietitian portions), and of course they never stopped by to ask if anyone wanted more. The choice between two main courses was always mini portions. A mini dessert. We asked for a second bottle of wine since the first was included in the price, but since there were four of us, it wasn't enough, a €40 surcharge. Total €55 per person, and we went home feeling hungry.

17/08/2025: Enchanting place. We dined outside, with a breathtaking view. Excellent appetizers, spectacular first courses...in short, everything was very good. The red wine we chose was out of this world, as was the rosé they produce. More than fair price. We will definitely be back soon!
