Al Borgo Antico - MONCALIERI

Local in the historic center of hotspots, offers a typical menu with quality products. very good wine card. I will definitely return to taste a dessert.

Attracted by fame, michelin guide and friend advice, we go to the weekday lunch. Unfortunately cause covid we were the only customers.... silence in the room, no music... the owner served us with a few words, but nothing to be laughed, service and warm and pleasant environment, but very simple. Great breads and grissini, also excellent foggy jacomo phenocchio 2019. Sorry for all the rest: the place is “stanco”, as a menu without particularity, if not the tradition; and also the tradition is tired and does not strike, the agnolotti to tell them homemade do not convince me for the stuffing and for the pasta too thick and white and leave me doubts also on the brown background that is not made as by tradition. the cuttlefish and artichokes very good and well cooked, goose artichokes, fresh and crisp, also the mantecato cod is very good, simple and delicious flavor without nauseating. the financier just was not like the expected, too much vinegar, pieces of chicken breast here and there, some ridges, some phegatine, too soft strands, some anime, but all not amalgamated and with pieces also here a little “stanchi” (stant maybe it would have been more balanced with more butter or of the peas that would have spread with a nice sweet note... sin, I thought I was entering a temple of tradition, but it wasn't like that. total 97 euro in two wine included (28 euro)

Nice place, you eat well, but go by taxi because parking spaces are scarce

We returned with joy after a few years of absence for various reasons related to the friends we attended and we found the same spirit the same class the same dishes prepared with care we made degotation of the menu valid both in the proposal of the dishes that in the figure really complimented and we will soon return

Simple dishes with quality ingredients. tired local. Non-existent staff. despite everything recommended.
