Piola Del Generale - IVREA

If you want a 5 stars service or a pizzeria this is not the place , but if you want to seat in the middle of a non traffic street with locals and locals specialities this is the place for you . Simple , friendly, good piemontese food with a relaxed environment . Not expensive.

We stumbled across this local bar quite by chance in a street just below the castle in a quiet part of the town. The food menu is limited and quite basic but very reasonable. We spent a leisurely hour watching the world go by, just what we were looking for. The interior is adorned with photographs celebrating various historical re-enactments, for which the proprietor obviously has a passion. We would certainly call in again if we were passing.

I was taken to this tiny bar/restaurant (which I'm lead to believe is only open at lunchtime) by a colleague from Ivrea to sample the local food. I have a very nice antipasti platter sitting outside underneath the turret of the decaying castle in Ivrea, at very reasonable price. Whilst I probably won't be rushing back here I'm glad I visited it the once.

Buon cibo, ambiente accogliente, personale cordiale e attento

Ottima salsiccia con polenta, e soprattutto consiglio il burro di plini e salvia, cucina perfetta al dente.
