When we arrived in Barolo I stopped in and made a reservation. We returned about ninety minutes later and had lunch on the terrace.

This was not our first visit, so we have a pattern. We always start with the Vitello Tonnato, which we shared. It is large enough for two. The tuna was nice and creamy.

Next, we ordered two of our favorites, the Ravioli Plin in sage butter and the Pasta Tajarin with veal ragu. We traded the plates back and forth and both were very good. The Tajarin is a local pasta made “with the yolks of 20 eggs.”

We finished with espresso and a little assortment of house made cookies provided by the owner.

The wine list has a broad assortment of local wines at reasonable prices.

Service was good from the friendly, attentive staff.

We enjoyed our dinner at this small restaurant in the center of Barolo. We began with a wonderful asparagus flan that we shared, along with the insalata Russa; for our entrees we chose brasato al Barolo and cinghiale with polenta. Everything was wonderful--the flan dish extraordinarily light, the Russian salad fresh, and the main courses richly flavored. Their wine list is extensive; we opted for simply a glass of Barolo since we'd sampled wines earlier in the day.

The food was excellent and the service fine although somewhat distant. All in all, it was a very good dinner in a very nice setting. Recommended.

We had a waiter from …… The food was good, don’t get me wrong, however everything was completely overshadowed by the man who waited on us. Within minutes after coming to our table and starting to explain the truffle tasting menu which we listened to, I began to ask him about the little QR code on the table that I was guessing was there to avoid hands-on menu touching. He interrupted me by saying something to the affect of “if you just wait, I’ll explain it to you”. Ok, that was completely unnecessary! He then rudely asked if we wanted a paper menu which we preferred. Excuse us!
He was condescending throughout and it didn’t seem to matter that we were ordering that we wanted to eat, he had issues and continuously tried to suggest additional items. Basically up-selling, whether it be the wine we chose or more than one appetizer, or…….I do remember ordering some type of long pasta when he rudely asked me if I needed a spoon! No, I have no problem eating my pasta with just a fork. I was raised by Italian parents so have been rolling pasta on a fork all my 65+ years, thank you very much! We ate our meal, and were happy to leave the presence of this despicable person. We were told later by some locals we know that it is a reflection of the culture the owner has created for her restaurant. We have been going to Barolo for almost two decades and will continue however we won’t step foot in this place again.
Hopefully the other people who have the respectable job of waiting on tables at this restaurant are not like him.

The waiter was very rude. they forget one order. So one person at our table had to wait for over 30 minutes extra for his dish ( the rest of us had finished our meal), with no apology or explanation. The waiter even took away his cutlery and when we stopped him, he rolled his eyes… we also ordered a bottle of wine of 45 euros and he gave us another, more expensive wine ( which, of course, they charged at full price). Short said, we do not recommend this restaurant. It feels like your typical ‘tourist trap’

Excellent restaurant in charming village of Barolo. Wine list was very good, of course! Staff was friendly and helpful to non-Italian speakers. We had five diners and every dish was great from salad through dessert.
