Ada E Augusto - GAGGIANO

We had a pre Xmas dinner to share gifts with friends and we had the chance to have almost all the restaurant for us. The tasting menu was our choice ... and definitely the right one. The chef which we had the chance to meet surprised us with every meal. The quality of the materials behind every dish of the menu was incredible... the sophistication of the preparation too... with a nice mix of Asian mood and traditional meals of Pavia. Some surprise like acorn puree! Never eaten before! Definitely suggested, for lunch or for dinner! The enthusiasm of the staff, the quality and the beauty of the location worth the small trip from Milan or Pavia you have to do to get there. Go there at least once! :

Embedded in an agritourismo, with products going directly from the farm to your table. New chef shooting for his Michelin star. For example, lean angus beef, barely seared, sliced very thin, sprinkled with mandarin oil and fresh greens (Including mint!! .

Ada Augusto was a real surprise. Location: The restaurant is located in a area that might seem rural and how beautiful is when you get there was stunning. There is not just the restaurant there: they sell you chees they do and many othet things. The restaurant seems immersed into a park, it seems a fairytale. Aperitivo: we've been offered of an aperitivo with a real good prosecco, and some snacks in the smal salotto we got there earlier than expected and they were super kind to let us stay there and spend some time before dinner started. Food: there are few tables (would say 8), and it's a very quiet and cosy but elegant restaurant. Food reflects this elegance. We picked one of the 2 menus Ada one that's also the one with less portions. We had 6 portions to eat ish. From excellent meat starter, to ravioli, till getting to meat and dessert/cheeses and then digestive. Everything was SO GOOD. Price: 2 menu (from starters to dessert)for 2 people, aperitivos, 1 bottle of barolo wine and digestives for total of 150€ Our menu costed 45€ each one. Would go back there for sure. Highly recommended!
