This a review for the new location in Puianello, always in the Province of Reggio Emilia.
The name was a great tradition in Cavriago and now it renews itself in Puianello, a small village between the mostly known Quattro Castella and Albinea on the Crostolo river.
Great atmosphere, great local food with its own spin and super nice service. They do host live concerts during the week. Check the website for events just in case you do not want to get in the middle of a concert hall rather than a quite place to drink or eat.
I had a great dinner tonite with a good erbazzone (local savory cake based on spinach and cheese) as starter.
Then my friend had a very good risotto with pumpkins and salsiccia (pork sausage) and I had a super nice horse tagliata served with cherry tomatoes, onions and abundant rucola. Super nice.
Dessert came in with a delicious cannolo filled with superb ricotta cream and a special pears upside down tartatein with nuts and resins ....yummy double yummy! Delicious.
The wine list is good and lot of local flavors. My choice, after checking with the very knowledgeable owner who is really a super nice lady, was a very special local Lambrusco whine (bubbly red lighted whine) coming from the nearby Quarticiello farm, Ortigiara Lambrusco, very very good and perfect match to these local flavors.
Not too busy on a Sunday evening but I heard is mostly all full over the week and especially Friday and Saturday so give them a ring to reserve your table.
Easy and free parking just in front of it.
Not pricey at all, very reasonable and definitely great bargain for the quality.
My fav in the area for a fast byte or a drink and stay as much as you want to enjoy friends food and company. read more
