Trattoria dei Cacciatori

Last night I dined at this quaint trattoria after a day at the Lurisia spa. Reservations are highly recommended, as there are limited seating and the restaurant is always busy. In my case (Saturday evening), dinner was served for all guests starting at 8:30 pm. It's a typical Piedmontese tasting menu for €25 per person, including five appetizers, two first courses, two second courses with sides, two desserts, coffee, and drinks. We sampled a bit of everything, from roast beef with bagnetto verde to vegetable flan with bagna càuda, from ravioli with butter and sage to a delicious braised beef. We finished it all off with panna cotta and an exceptional shortcrust pastry cake reminiscent of cornmeal biscuits. The atmosphere is very informal and convivial, and we were served with kindness and attention. Parking is available right next to the restaurant.

On Saturday evening, after a day spent trekking in the mountains, we decided to have dinner at this trattoria after evaluating several other restaurants in the area. We read that the restaurant offers several fixed-price menus weekly. The one we were interested in for Saturday dinner consisted of 5 appetizers, 2 first courses, 2 second courses, dessert, and coffee (I specify that it is not à la carte, so you don't choose; you eat whatever the chef offers that evening). The fixed price per person is €25, and given the freshly prepared food, without preheating, all guests begin dinner at 8:30 PM. Having clarified these simple, but fundamental, restaurant practices, we moved on to making a reservation by phone (this is recommended, as is reading the menu and serving times for lunch (12:30 PM) and dinner (8:30 PM) to avoid misunderstandings or incorrect expectations). A very characteristic restaurant with wooden interiors and furnishings, as soon as you enter you grasp the values ​​of Piedmontese tradition and perceive the flavors of their excellent cuisine under your palate. Home cooking that is expertly and simply enjoyed, dish after dish, allowing us to savor all the dishes offered and even have a few second helpings kindly offered by the owner (honestly, I found him kind and helpful; he always responded politely). The dinner continued in a calm and serene atmosphere where one could breathe in the ancient tradition of Piedmontese trattorias that the place still preserves excellently. Home cooking from the appetizers to the first courses, the second courses (all with flavor combinations that married perfectly with each other, enriching and tantalizing the palate), homemade bread and finally dessert and a good coffee to close the meal full and satisfied. Free parking in the forecourt covers about fifteen cars. Outdoor terrace for dogs that are not allowed inside. I understand from the owner's responses to some negative reviews that often people, unlike us, go full of expectations and without considering the type of place they choose, which perhaps does not fit their target and their needs. Expectations. I'd also like to add that the bathroom is a bit tacky, which some people say is not very clean. It's true that it should be kept clean, but those who use it should also be careful. My deepest sympathy goes to the owner, and my compliments again for the excellent management and excellent food. We'll definitely be back to eat there. We like tradition, and their food, too. My only regret is that smokers don't move a few steps further away (since they just can't resist a smoke) and that they let an unpleasant smell of smoke into the restaurant. We were seated near the counter in the small room near the door.

Family-run restaurant that maintains the authentic atmosphere of the old Piedmontese trattorias, now almost impossible to find. Very good food, traditional dishes, slightly revisited, with a gourmet touch. Absolutely more than fair prices that refer to the entire single menu, including drinks and coffee; there is no à la carte menu, nor price list for individual dishes. To give you an idea, the weekly lunch includes 5 savoury courses and 1 dessert at a cost of €14.00. The dishes arrive as a surprise at the table, served in a single sitting. Informal welcome in a pleasant retro style context. Reservations are a must because places like this, once discovered, are frequented.

We really didn't expect to still find trattorias like this. There's a fixed menu for 13 euros plus a cover charge, and then at 12:30 they start serving the menu, which is the same for everyone and a surprise—that is, you never know what's coming. The quality was excellent, starting with veal with tuna sauce and pasta with ragù, sublime, then sausages, green salad, and pizza with onions and anchovies—a little salty for me, but good. For dessert, a superb almond mousse. In short, try it and believe it! Congratulations to everyone! We'll be back.

The food is excellent. This is the trattoria of the past. During the week, the menu is limited to one appetizer, one first course, one second course with side dish, an addition that can be a small omelette, a bottle of wine (white or red), bottled water, dessert, and coffee. So, the fixed menu. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, it doubles in size, and everything is delicious. The tablecloth and napkins are made of white cotton. The cost during the week is the same as a sandwich and a beer at the bar; it increases on weekends and holidays... but always moderate. The only drawback? In the summer, mulled wine... no ice or ice buckets... but you can survive. Make a reservation because it's always full.

One of those places that are now hard to find. A family-run restaurant, very basic with a table outside as well. The place offers a fixed menu and a closed box 😜 for some, that might be a problem, but that's the beauty of places like this, a bit like eating at grandma's: what you have, you eat... Very fast and friendly service, for lunch on weekdays, 2 first courses, 2 second courses, side dish, dessert, €14. Everything well made and without too many frills. We'll be back. Oh, and reservations are required.

Went to eat last night, Saturday, August 24, 2024. My parents were there too. The food was really good. All the dishes were delicious. Congratulations! We'll definitely be back.

Excellent family-run restaurant. Very varied menu. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff!

The restaurant is clearly visible on the main road, with a parking lot next to it. The entrance is on the ground floor, with no stairs; the interior is divided into two rooms. When we arrived, there were quite a few people having lunch. We were immediately greeted, and after checking our green passes, they seated us. There's a fixed menu, so there's no set menu, and you don't order anything; they bring everything. They brought us: two first courses; two second courses; a side dish; dessert; water and coffee for the modest sum of €11, and we ate very well. Everything was fantastic, truly kudos!

The weekly lunch menu always includes 6 fixed courses (5 savoury and 1 sweet), never banal and different every day, served to everyone at the same time (starting at 12:30), a fabulous quality/price ratio. Both the goodness of the local dishes and the price are surprising. It's hard to believe that there are still places like this! Dinner service and weekends with multiple courses, themed dinners are also offered. The clientele is varied: people on work breaks, families, singles, politicians, athletes: the good and honest cuisine always satisfies everyone! Attached are the dishes of a weekly lunch.. To give you an idea

What can I say... Try it to believe it! Artisanal and refined cuisine. A surprise menu, which changes every day, you wait with curiosity for each dish to know what will be served. You are never disappointed and the conclusion is one of the best: the fantastic desserts of Mrs. Ornella! The price is the final surprise!
