Pizzeria Le Valli In Villanova mondovì

27/11/2023: Never normally write reviews but we just want to thank all of the team at Osteria Arborina for a completely outstanding experience eating in your wonderful restaurant on Saturday night. Huge congratulations to chef Fernando Tommaso Forino: your ideas, the great service, the passion and engagement of the staff, and most importantly the utterly delicious food made us feel very excited and very happy indeed. We are sure that accolades will be coming your way, we’re very glad we got to find you before too many others do!

24/11/2023: Simple and modern design restaurant, through the window to see the kitchen was very nice. The staff was very nice. Wine list is good. Menu… I actually expected to be more techniques in the cooking. The first one with mackerel had a bit too strong umami flavor. Maybe could try to use sake or miso ingredients to balance it. The pumpkin tastes really normal, maybe it was to fresh the palate, yet the sauce of bagna cauda was not too bad but not too surprising. Risotto…my friend didn’t like it, but I finished it because I appreciated the triple inside, well cooked. Then the beef with fried potato mash outside, if the beef could be more tender would be great. The dessert I liked the creams. The other two pastries could be more moisture (small cake roll) and more crunchy (the nut tart). This ones we have in Asia so we are more picky on this. Anyway, nice restaurant and wish them for better!
