Cacciatori - GABIANO

This is the archetipal local eatery with local seniors and more boisterous young adults rubbing shoulders in a 1960 70s setting. The two of us were likely the only travelers that day. The menu is served to all patrons at once, we just happened to enter minutes before the first course was due, few minutes before 1 PM. It included two first courses brought to you on a trolley you can have either or a combination, we had risotto meant to be with highly prized Castelmagno cheese it may have had a little bit of it, alongside plentiful more common grated parmesan or similar cheese quite good anyway. As second course, you are offered a choice among half a dozen traditional meat dishes, plus one of two or three cooked vegetables on the side. Here we had two One was raw hashed steak quite tasty if for their convenience they had prepared all in advance and pre seasoned with plenty lemon juice for preservation. The other was mixed boiled meats very lean so a bit chewy beef belly, cotechino cooked pork sausage very tasty and almost light and testina that 's veal head skin and chin meat, with very pleasant salsa verde a green sauce with lots of parsley, olive oil and some garlic and capers. Quite good overall, if the price of 15 Euros per person was a bit higher than expected given the overall combination of style and setting, taste and serving size fair, less than abundant. Service is quick and friendly, unsophisticated still very appropriate.

It was midweek afternoon, and all the seats were occupied by local rural folk, so we had to wait a little. They were chatting VERY loudly and obviously enjoying both food, wine and life. We were served by joyful hostess, ate typical local dishes (plate of the day) and drank a whole bottle of a nice house wine.

I can only add the previous reviews. I thank the lady and the daughter for giving me the feeling of eating at my house a great panissa

Menu and management of very rustic premises: You really feel in a familiar environment. excellent quality.
