It's not huge inside, but it's well-maintained. Excellent cuisine, with a menu that varies depending on the season and available ingredients. Excellent appetizers, as was the first course of rigatoni with tomatoes, bacon, and salted ricotta. The chocolate sphere is a scenic yet delicious dessert. The wine that accompanied the meal was also very enjoyable. Friendly and courteous staff. Prices are slightly higher than average, but adequate for the selection and service. Recommended!

The menu is refined, innovative without compromising on tradition, and the dishes are always beautifully presented. We tried: artisanal rigatoni with ricotta, sausage, and truffle: excellent. The gnocchi with pumpkin, porcini mushrooms, and stracciatella were also very good. The suckling pig with truffles and chicory was equally impressive. To finish, the gianduia fondant—original and delicious—and a lemon tartlet, beautiful to look at and delicious. The prices are fair, especially considering the central location.

Corso Stretto stands out for its attention to detail, welcoming atmosphere, and cuisine that surprises with balance and personality. The dishes tell a story of local tradition and passion: the pasta, perfectly al dente, wrapped in an intense and harmonious sauce, reveals a masterful selection of ingredients and a profound respect for tradition. Each bite is a journey through authentic flavors and balanced combinations, where nothing is left to chance. The desserts, however, deserve a special mention. The lactose-free creations, entirely homemade, are a true triumph of taste and technique. Gianduja chocolate blends with a velvety rum cream in a play of textures and aromas that captivates from the first bite: measured sweetness, elegant aromas, and a balance that speaks the language of fine pastry making. An unmissable address for those seeking sincere yet refined cuisine, capable of moving with simplicity and leaving you wanting to return.

The smell of fried food on your clothes, but for everything else, 10 out of 10! I will definitely be back, and I'll be happy to.
