We stopped by chance... we had a great time.<br>Everything was very good.
My biker friends and I went to Rè.<br>The quality of the products we consumed was plentiful, and a compliment to the chef. The hospitality, courtesy, and kindness of the dining room staff and the family-run restaurant are a huge compliment.<br>We will definitely be back. Thanks to the Gazzoli family for letting us enjoy local, high-quality products in a clean and tidy restaurant.
Trattoria with private parking. Access to the restaurant is recommended for those with disabilities from the street. Friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of traditional dishes. It's a shame there's no menu with prices. The dishes are freshly made and very good. I recommend the appetizers and the braised beef ravioli. Prices range from €25-30 for appetizers and a first course.
I ate in this family-run restaurant, a typical osteria, I ate the pisarei and the platter, both dishes were excellent. I recommend it.
An excellent discovery in Varzi: hospitality, style, and authentic flavors<br>Score: 5/5<br>Passing through Varzi on a motorcycle tour, my friend Franco and I stopped for lunch at Cucineria del Caffè Torino, and we were completely surprised.<br>The experience began in the best possible way thanks to a splendid and warm welcome. The restaurant is decorated with great taste and attention to detail: the choice of using fabric tablecloths and napkins for a beautifully set table, a standout feature, now rare and highly appreciated.<br>For obvious reasons related to driving, we opted for a light but high-quality lunch, focusing on two first courses: ravioli with braised beef and pisarei e fasö. Both courses proved exceptional in terms of flavor, balanced seasoning, and perfectly cooked pasta. A true delicacy.<br>Special mention for the wine. Despite having complete freedom to choose from the menu, we wanted to try their house red wine by the glass. As a wine enthusiast, I was impressed: it's the "Rosso della Svercia," a local blend of Barbera and Croatina. A structured yet balanced wine, fantastic to drink and even perfect as a base for a great Oltrepò braised meat, thanks to the Barbera's acidity softened by the Croatina's roundness.<br>The quality, courtesy, and atmosphere were truly excellent. A highly recommended place, which will become a regular stop on future visits to the area.
The best cured meats, ravioli and desserts
The atmosphere is homey, and the owners are very friendly. The place is simply but tastefully furnished.
The experience started off a bit uphill. I booked through Google, since the restaurant was closed at the time. I received an email confirming my reservation and telling me that the reservation would be officially confirmed by email from the restaurant. The next day, a couple of hours before lunch, I still hadn't received anything. So I decided to call and explain the situation. The lady replied that it was impossible and that they don't accept Google reservations and that I must be confused. I confirmed that my reservation was for Ristorante Caffè Torino, located in Varzi, and that I could also prove it via email. Her response: "I never look at Google reservations anyway." Not feeling like arguing, I asked if it was possible to book over the phone at that time, and the lady's tone quickly changed from sour to very friendly. The "I never look at them" excuse doesn't hold water, because if you offer a service like Google reservations, you have to guarantee the service. Reservations through Google aren't mandatory, but if they are available, I expect them to be checked. That said, once we arrived at the restaurant, the place was clean and well-kept. The food was high-quality. In particular, we ordered an appetizer for two with cured meats and Russian salad. The Russian salad was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised by the salami. Anyone who, like me, grew up eating homemade salami knows how inedible the ones served in restaurants are. This one, however, didn't taste of saltpeter and was a pleasure to eat. The coppa and pancetta were also good. We then had the braised beef ravioli, which were truly delicious, and the spinach gnocchi with sauce, which were also good. We also had house red wine and water. The whole thing came to €24 per person, which seems like a fair price. The service during the meal was very friendly, but it was a shame about the initial poor service, which made us feel unwelcome. I recommend the place because overall, we ate well and had a pleasant meal. I advise the owners to remove the option to book on Google or, if they allow that option, to look at those reservations instead.
Buongiorno Ginevra, scusa ancora per il disservizio della prenotazione on line....ma sono in questo preciso momento a cercare di eliminarla con esito BHO....non capisco questi meccanismi . <br>Spero di riuscire ad eliminare questo setvizio che non riuscirei a seguire....grazie ancora e buona giornata Aurora
Home cooking with local delicacies, kindness and cordiality
Real home cooking with zero-mile products. Everything is excellent.
Ristorante Caffè Torino is an elegant and welcoming venue that combines classic Italian dishes with a refined atmosphere. Quality ingredients, meticulous presentation, and attentive service make for a pleasant experience, suitable for both relaxed dinners and special occasions.
Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly and helpful owner.<br>Excellent cold cuts, and the braised beef ravioli are superb!<br>Fairly priced.
Horrible experience!<br><br>- Rustic atmosphere: the choice to place glass over the tables leaves a lot to be desired, especially since if you're not careful, you risk breaking a glass;<br><br>- No menu was provided, and consequently, so were the prices for food and drinks;<br><br>- Very low-quality food;<br><br>- Friendliness: the two ladies serving the tables are annoyed;<br><br>- Parking: It's really hard to find a spot since the place is located along the highway.<br><br>- Noise: When you find yourself sitting next to a table full of people so drunk (including the owner) that you can't communicate with anyone else, I'd say this represents the rudeness that pervades this place.<br><br>See you never again!!!
Where tradition reigns supreme...
