The dishes are served from large platters, I lost track of the number of courses we ate but everything was really good and generous portions, It is a fantastic experience to eat in a restaurant like this, the perfect example of the local traditional restaurant with authentic food that we all dream about finding. The food is made and served by the family in their own kitchens with pride and love. Worth going out of your way to experience

The ingredients are traditional and genuine and the atmosphere is like being at your grandma for a sunday lunch! It' s always busy but they can always find you a table in 5 minutes! Don' t forget to visit the shop across the street, owned by the same family... Where you can take home some of the tasty food that they make!

You may consider the place minimal, the service sufficient, the ambience essential, the food presentation primitive. Exactly as it was in a village restaurant two generations ago. But The food is good, they do their own salamis, appetizers are in line with Piedmont tradition. Fritto misto is a just bit heavy, as it was supposed to be in the past. Desserts as well. It is part of the game. The way cosciotto cooked in oven is prepared and presented is very historical, but efficient and portions can get larger and larger. Very essential wine (list), menu read by the waiter. Everybody extremely kind. Prices unbeatable. Cheap. You were looking for a culinary museum? This is the place. You won 't be crestfallen.
