I didn't know they had an extensive kitchen and staff of 65 that works on the preparations and execution behind the scenes. It was definitely the most expensive fine dining experience in Europe, possibly the most expensive restaurant in Italy. But it was worth trying it. Very different from the Paul Bocuse experience, and different from Japanese fine dining too.

We arrived right around noon when it opens (beware on kin says that it opens at 11:30 am which is not accurate). Make sure you arrive before 12:30 because the restaurant suddenly fills up around this time. The atmosphere and service were very similar - no frills, but perfectly adequate. My dining companions all had pizza, which they report was very good. No complaints. I ordered a very basic chicken breast and French fries. It was nothing special, but that's exactly why I ordered it. I was looking for something uncomplicated and simple. This was a perfectly nice spot for lunch after visiting the museum, but I'd recommend arriving before 12:30 pm to beat the rush.

Anyway, we ordered the gnocco fritto to start, which was mind blowing. Imagine a sweet puffy dough pillow that was halfway in-between a crossiant and a donut. And then imagine putting nice prosciutto and salamis and what not on it. It was an awesome, life changing meal. For our mains, we had the gnocchi with sausage and the cheese and spinach tortilini with balsamic dressing - two awesome dishes. Perfectly sized, great flavors, not overly salty. Water was only 1 euro per bottle, and coperto was 2 euro each. Our waiter spoke great English, and even put up with my dad's sad attempt to speak Italian (by attempting to pronounce the names of the dishes). I prefer the "point to the menu" method myself. Really really pleased with the quality, price, and level of service. It's a little bit hidden down a small street, but keep searching it's worth it I promise!

We toured the facility first and then enjoyed a four course balsamic pairing lunch that was by far one of the best meals I've ever had! We began with two courses of homemade pasta. These were followed by a course with various bites on it including a frittata, a Lambrusco (made by the Pedroni family) brined beef, pork short ribs, and spring onions pickled in balsamic vinegar. The final dessert course consisted of three different cheesecake bites topped with their traditional balsamic vinegar aged 25 years. As an added bonus, with your dessert course you'll be presented with a shot glass and five different bottles of dessert liquors to finish off your meal. Each dish was unique and delicious and the staff serving the courses very friendly and eager to ensure you have a wonderful experience. It's a small, cozy space run by the family. The family patriarch, Italo, (whom the 12 year aged traditional Pedroni balsamic is named after) was continuously making the rounds to ensure everyone was enjoying their meal and having a great time. You'll even find Guiseppie, the current head of the facility and Italo's son AND the namesake of the 25 year aged traditional Pedroni balsamic) in the kitchen preparing and serving dishes to patrons. Be advised that you will be required to lock your cell phone up in a secure case before beginning your dining experience because to Italo, the family patriarch, food is a sacred experience that shouldn't be taken away from by having your phone out. If this is going to be a problem for you then this isn't the restaurant for you, but it will be a shame because you'll be missing out on some truly amazing food.
