I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Penango della Asti

05/08/2025: We stayed at the Relais (reviewed separately, and with a higher rating). Here we report our experience at the Bistro. We certainly expected more, considering the two-Michelin-star Locanda is also present and the restaurant is designed by Enrico Bartolini. The location is well-kept and beautiful, including the pergola where we dined. The appetizers were excellent (raw Fassona beef and veal with tuna sauce), as were the wine pairings recommended by the sommelier. So why 2 stars? There was a never-ending wait for a two-course dinner. The bread basket was meager (two pieces of bread), so we often had to ask for more, resulting in an interminable wait. The main courses we tasted were subpar. The beef was better, the shank was awful. Moreover, they were plated in the same way (soft cream on the bottom, with the difference being one made of potatoes, the other of chickpeas, but visually identical) with the same stewed vegetables on top. The dining room staff (only two people) were helpful, friendly, and polite, but insufficient to handle the large number of tables, and perhaps even inadequate for the type of establishment. This is, of course, a personal opinion. It's a shame. We wouldn't return.

03/07/2025: “Dinner, not for everyone” I must say that I recognize the qualities of the chef and the staff, but I cannot avoid issuing this review. The dishes offered are not for everyone, if you are even slightly susceptible, and I am not, you can find “surprises” on the plate, of which you were not aware, which may not be for all palates and all looks, even causing nausea, I am not exaggerating. This led me to give up some courses, it is clear that I took responsibility for it, but I do not believe it is ever 100% the customer's fault, which is why I would have expected a minimum of meeting at least the balance of the dinner, or a small gesture ... which however did not happen, bringing the total to just under € 400 for two people and for a dinner left at just over half. I do not allow myself to judge the taste of the food. But there are objective things that are not right. The aperitif is offered almost as if it were a welcome, only to be found on the bill at a high price. The place is nice and has a good atmosphere, but nothing can justify such a bill in relation to what is offered both in terms of food and experience, one of the worst starred, at least for me. I leave this review with regret. I dedicated the last evening of my trip to Piedmont to it, a mistake, I will not return.

26/08/2025: Beautiful place, simple cuisine, attentive and fast service, fixed menu with dishes to choose from, excellent carpione and fantastic agnolotti

04/08/2025: An incredible place for a business lunch. It feels like stepping into a place where time has stood still. The food is authentic, following the constantly updated menu on the blackboard, and at a reasonable price. Ample parking in the greenery.
