Vino Bruschette - GAVI

The name suggests to be a wine bar with accompanying bruschette and other appetizers. We were disappointed to see only bruschette and a small pasta and meat/secondo menu. Also there are very few wines by the glass. We had wanted to try different wines and lots of small plates with appetizers and such. The wine list is extensive and most are below €15. As most are by the bottle only we started with a nice prosecco, a Gavi with one of our bruschette and then a bottle of Barbera Monferrato €13). The bruschette Classico, onions/goat cheese, Gorgonzola/walnuts/honey) were very tasty, but they were quite pricey. Also we did need to order something else to finish our bottle of wine with as well as to complete the meal. The pasta wasn't very interesting and even though there was only one table occupied at that time the steak fillet was finished. Since the tartare battuta di fassone) was plain, served with nothing else, we didn't want that and could choose between a goat cheese salad or vitello tonnato. Or additional bruschette but we didn't find many more on the menu that we were interested in. Finally we had a small dessert and a coffee. We were very surprised to have to pay €95 of which we could calculate €23 bruschette, €20 vitello, €13 bottle of wine. The day before we had a 4 course meal with a €32 bottle of Barolo and paid €102. The receipt showed dolce was €6, coperto €2, wines by the glass €4, coffee €1,50. It all added up to €95 but that just wasn't worth it. It wasn't that great. The service was very friendly though and the place looks really nice. All in all we had a nice evening but were shocked by the total price in the end, especially compared to the day before at Gavi's #1 restaurant on Tripadvisor.

Lovely restaurant, with big saloon and cozy terrace in the back. The bruschette are delicious and very well served. Price is super fair. As in all restaurants in the region, service is very slow. The overall experience was very nice, I definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing.... Fresh pesto pasta.... minestrone and Prosecco valdobbiadene..... wooow!!! Really perfect food. And I know what I’m saying:

Bello e professionale propretaria eccellente bruschette e deliziosi piatti di pesce

Merita anche solo per un aperitivo con un bicchiere di vino di gavi fresco e una taglierina di bruschette e affettata!
