This restaurant is famous because it is almost impossible to get a table: they open reservation at 12noon on the first day of each month for the subsequent month, and by 12.05 the restaurant is already fully booked. The restaurant is recommended by the major guides (Michelin, slow food..) and by a variety of newspaper articles (including the new york times, the guardian and of course corriere della sera), blogs, and social media posts. I had consequently mixed feelings: on the one hand I had high expectations, on the other hand I was a bit suspicious of the hype.
After finally managing to secure a table, l must say that the universal praise is fully deserved. The food is uniformly outstanding. Top quality ingredients, prepared sometimes in a perfect simple way (such as lagoon mini shrimp fried to perfection, or fried tripes with rosemary), sometimes in traditional combinations with a modern twist (piemontese style cabbage rolls stuffed with goat meat and oyster mushrooms). Flavors perfectly combined, almost irresistible. Not very long but very interesting and fairly priced wine list. Extremely attentive service - the bread basket immediately replaced as soon as it is empty, the waiters always smiling and charming. Tables not too close to each other and very quiet environment thanks to effective sound absorbing panels on the ceiling. Funky atmosphere and consistently pleasant feel. Highly recommended - if you can get a table!
