Dopo un paio di volte in cui le aspettative non erano state soddisfatte appieno, ho voluto riprovare e vedere se davvero le stelle sono meritate...ebbene si!
Grande cena per una Grande Occasione (Cena di Natale AIS Piemonte)
Menu prestabilito.. ma grandi piatti..
Dell'aperitivo ai dolci. Fantastica l'insalata Terra Madre (con 56 ingredienti ) ed il Churrasco-costata di agnello alla brace... memorabili!
Alcune cose continuano a nn essere di mio gradimento, tipo il burro servito su una pietra irregolare (forse il richiamo alle cave intorno), ma questa volta la cucina ha veramente emozionato!

Il Piccolo Lago is a haute cuisine restaurant suspended in time and space.
The location alone is worth a stop. It's all in its name: Piccolo Lago, that is, Lake Mergozzo, intimate and nestled in the Ossola mountains. Its emerald green waters mirror the restaurant and its outdoor area.
The room is a welcoming "veranda" with large windows overlooking the lake and if like us you dine on a splendid October evening you will admire the stars and moon reflecting in the dark waters of the lake.
The round tables are well spaced and preserve the privacy of the diners. The mise en place is simple but refined and refined, with splendid creative ideas such as the native slate serving plate for the polenta and hay bread served on a bed of real hay from mountain pastures.
Eating here is an experience you won't forget..........It's the philosophy of Piccolo Lago: its cuisine is research.
The cuisine of starred Patron chef Marco Sacco is research, innovation, meticulous study of ingredients and combinations, experimentation, cultural contamination ........ artistic creation. As his quote on the website states: "recapture the past, shape it in the present, project it into the future."
And if you have had the pleasure of tasting the chef's cuisine from the beginning to today, you will appreciate precisely this: a path of growth, a story developed starting from a classic plot from the past which over the years is enriched and transformed by the addition of new characters and multicultural stories, never forgetting the origins and the territory with its products such as small lake fish.
If you decide to rely completely, are predisposed to experimentation and have a trained palate, let yourself be guided on a path studied down to the smallest detail even in the pairings with wines. The young and competent sommeliers and waitresses will passionately guide you through the story and will make you appreciate every flavor nuance that will explode in your mouth.
The 7-course tasting menu "A small spiral" and the 5 matching glasses of wine embraces products and traditions of the lake area and the world and upsets the traditional assumptions of the cuisine, both from a gustatory point of view (such as the "Gamberino" pre dessert , a dark chocolate with a prawn heart) and visual (like "Terra Madre", a dish to be composed with sprouts and their roots in the terroir and surgeon's tweezers to mix the vegetal and earthy taste with a fresh and explosive salad).
There are 7 courses, each extraordinary and unique in its own way, which will amaze and enrich you.
The open kitchen hosts a chef's table, an exclusive table that overlooks the kitchen and the usually hidden behind the scenes.
If you want to live a unique and 360° experience you can combine a 1-night stay on the Isola dei Pescatori on nearby Lake Maggiore in the Il Verbano hotel-restaurant owned by chef Sacco and treat yourself to a "day-long dream". You will be pampered and accompanied with "exclusive" private boat transfers and reserved taxis, a dream to give and to treat yourself.
