Pinocchio - BORGOMANERO

What can I say about Pinocchio? It was fantastic from start to finish. The best escargot I’ve ever had, so delicate and that sauce! I used one of the many types of bread they serve you to soak it all up. I’ve had lots of great food in Italy because Italians are amazing chefs but it’s brought to another level here. The ingredients used are top notch and the love they have for preparing their dishes shines through. I got the chance to meet Piero, the man who opened Pinocchio’s doors in 1962 and at 80 years young is still working daily. He is a reminder of love. If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. Thank you Piero for making such a beautiful meal for us.

Our party of four stayed at Bogogno Golf Resort where we also had our first dinner. The dinner was a slight disappointment. We agreed that we didn’t come to Italy to eat touristic food in a touristic ambience. On our last evening at Bogogno we took a taxi and came here to enjoy genuine Italian food. For starters I ordered risotto con funghi porcini. My wife’s had squids. For mains both of us had beef fillet which was accompanied with Nebbiolo red wine. I finished with dessert della memoria which was gelato al forno. Every dish was delicious, fresh, cooked to perfection and – exactly what we were looking for – genuine Italian food. The service was professional and efficient but at the same time friendly and relaxed. The dining room is elegant and enjoyable. Pinocchio was a perfect culinary experience and certainly worth a visit if you like delicious Italian food and good wines. We all agreed that taste and quality of food was the best of the three restaurants where we had dinner while staying at Bogogno. Highly recommended!

Try the starter, try the main course, try the desert and if u still not happy ... just go for junk food... that’s what u deserve! Super food perfect service ... price ok. Only the entrance needs to be dry for the smell and an the interior now deserve a bit of renovation... but at the end we are for your food ;

Cena con te! squisito! camera confortevole, ben arredata! il servizio è al nome che hanno! torneremo sicuramente! Congratulazioni.

Fantastico come sempre: piatti storici e novità che si alternano con fantasia, tecnica e gusto. Da povare!
