Various vegetable and cheese salads were being spooned into bowls for patrons. 6 Euros for a good sized portion is affordable. The cashier urged me to eat first, "Mangiare, mangiare!!!" and then pay. Servers were very friendly. The salad had unfermented green olives, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, chunks of soft crumbled rustic bread, and chunks of cheese of unknown variety. The salad was moist. Sandwiches are also offered. Many people ate here on their lunch break. They must be regulars. We walked 2 kilometers the next day to eat here again passing by other cafes. Enjoy!!

We found by accident and want to go back --even though we are about an hour away! Haha The fresh food and cheese and meats and wine! Don't wait another day! Go go go! Very busy but moves along well.

Wow! I think I have found a place I could spend a lot of time and money at. There isn't anything…read morecomplicated about this place it is a wine and cheese shop with some meat options. It has some tables in the back that you can sit at and order amazing wine, cheese, meats, some extras all served with fantastic bread. It is not a place you go to for a meal but the start of snack. Although I could easily eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here. If you are ever in this part of Italy this is a MUST try!

I usually like regular cow milk mozzarella, but I make an exception for what they sell here. Try the little buffalo balls (no, not those balls!), mouthfuls of total yumminess. They also have "caciocavallo" cheese, quite expensive due to the paucity of availability in northern Italy. A must try for the cheese-addicted.

Parmesan cheese ..... real Parmesan cheese. The factory tour was super informative and they took…read moretheir time to answer questions and make sure we really understood how their cheese was created. The freshness and level of perfection that goes into the production and approval process is almost mind blowing. We got to see almost every stage of the process minus the milk coming from the cows and resting overnight so they could remove the fat for butter. The second round of milk they add in the afternoon and mix it with the milk that had the fat removed and then they start the cooking and cutting and stuffing the cheese into the cylinders to get them ready for the next stage. The workers were friendly and willing to let us watch them do their job.
