Trattoria Monferrato In Ivrea

07/02/2025: Defining this particular place is an understatement. As soon as you enter you are in a bazaar where I believe fair trade can be done. Continuing you pass through 3/4 rooms with bookcases on the walls to allow customers to read a book perhaps while enjoying a liquorice herbal tea and a slice of strudel like I did. Definitely one of a kind.

04/02/2025: Absolutely excellent food for every taste. They have typical dishes from different countries. For appetizers we chose the bao, all very good, and the gyoza, but they were out of stock (which we were told after a long wait) and in their place they offered us some bulgur arancini, the name of which I don't remember, but good. As main courses we tasted delicious fish and chips, fried chicken served with raw cabbage, very spicy but really excellent. Be careful with the "sauteed" vegetables, delicious and very fresh but I expected them cooked, but instead they were literally just sautéed in a pan but raw. Recommended if you are not in a hurry because the big flaw of this place is the wait, we were the first to arrive but they were still very slow in bringing us the various dishes.
