I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Calamandrana della Asti

01/03/2026: Preface: I don't usually write negative reviews, assuming we all make mistakes, that we have bad days, and that we're all human. Let's get back to the point: yesterday I had dinner with my partner at Violetta, and because I have an allergy, I made sure to call for the first time last week to ask if my allergy would be a problem for their management (which was perfectly legitimate, and my question could have been answered with a response along the lines of "no, look, we're not organized for allergies"), and the owner told me there was absolutely no problem, just let me know in advance. So I did, and booked Tuesday for Saturday. It's a shame the offer wasn't the same for everyone, and in fact, the entree arrived accompanied by the elegant owner, who had given me a completely different impression on the phone, adding, "You can't eat this," so I have to ask, "Why are you bringing it to me?" And above all, are you making me pay for it? Yes, in fact, for 2 people, €115.00 with 2 appetizers. My cardoons, without Toma cheese (which I needed), were half a cardoon strip without even a drop of oil, with a few flakes of Parmesan and a pepper flan. Two second courses, which in theory should have been accompanied by seasonal vegetables, were in fact accompanied by 2 carrot sticks and 1 artichoke segment, to the point that, due to my still-hungry nature, I ordered a slightly larger plate of vegetables. My companion ordered dessert, but obviously I couldn't because I had no options due to my allergy, as were the prohibited first courses. All accompanied by 3 glasses of wine and 2 liqueurs, no coffee. Total cost €115, and I swear I was hungry. Now, let's overlook the lack of management of my allergy, which I made two phone calls about and was a prerequisite for my going. Let's overlook the ridiculous portions, but €115 is an insult to those who work honestly. Then again, the receipt only lists the total... old school... so you can't dispute it because you don't have a list of prices right away. To be honest, the food isn't excellent, but it's average quality, and the price, on the other hand, is almost Michelin-starred. Reading the positive reviews, it makes me think they charge different prices to their friends; otherwise, I can't explain it. Never again!

11/01/2026: Congratulations to the owners for their kindness and courtesy, and especially to the chefs for maintaining tradition in their dishes using top-quality ingredients. We'll see you again soon. The couple from Acqui Terme

26/12/2025: The setting and atmosphere were fabulous. We spent a family Christmas, pampered and served impeccably. We'll definitely be back :)

16/12/2025: My wife Alice and I enjoyed a beautiful lunch at Adagio last Sunday. We can only say that this was a wonderful experience. Each course was a delight with the perfect pairing of wines. This restaurant is a gem nestled in the hills of Piedmont.
