Corsaglia - Vicoforte

Recommended by friends who come to try this restaurant. at the entrance the owner warns me that for today only working lunch is expected. . I don't see the kitchens, I usually see how baths are treated: incredible cleaning: Congratulations. I am offered, as before, some tagliatelle with ragù: show! according to a normal scaloppine, but the contour of potatoes cooked with roast sauce are to be shouted:! a wonderful wonder! normal cheeses. the bunet (budino) to the coffee is so good that I take two slices! recommended? oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

If you will stay in Mondovi , even if for a stop-over to your destination , this is a perfect place to have a traditional and not commercial italian food with very fresh ingredients. It is not situated properly in Mondovi but half an hour driving could lead you to Corsaglia Valley.

I recommend this family-run restaurant for those wanting to taste the true flavors of this beautiful part of Piemonte. Every product they use is either home-grown or locally sourced and it is evident in the quality of their food. We discovered this place several years ago and keep coming back because the food is outstanding. Starters always include a variety of their home made salamis as well as an appetizer made from local trout from the river next to the restaurant. All the pastas are home made and they usually have a choice of three different types. The meat courses usually include veal roast and two other types of meat such as wild boar (in season), lamb or rabbit. They typically offer three choices for dessert but for those who cannot decide they will make up a plate of all three. We absolutely love their zabaglione made with their own fresh eggs and moscato wine. The owners also produce their own wine and we highly recommend their dolcetto. One word of advise... make sure you are hungry because there is many courses and you won't want to pass up a single one.
