Agriturismo Il Nespolo - Santhia

We used an Emotion3 box in this structure. We were pleasantly surprised by the dinner cooked at the moment by the owner really good and cheap! One note: you could improve the cleaning of the room perhaps a little too approximate... Overall a positive experience!

A convivial lunch saved only by friendship and joy. We arrive and the dining room is cold and such will remain for all lunch. The service is immediately approximate we will find that who does the service in life does anything else work. You start with the meat line and on the table there are both pepper and oil: on request only one bottle of oil arrives and one pepino to serve for a 10 meters long table! . Then two extemporaneous presentations arrive: did you ever eat the bresaola with honey on it? Neither did we deduced that being the very dry and very salty bresaola, honey had been the last attempt to save it; had you ever eaten the tomino with above the cauda wet? Neither do I and I assure you that two tastes so strong do not marry well. Fortunately comes a 'excellent chicken or chicken salad, because in the hall we are presented as a chicken salad and at the end of lunch the cook calls it chicken salad, mah? Still great! Here is the strong dishes: comes the risotto with rhinestone sauce, but unfortunately the sauce of 'arrosto is very liquid and contained in the pirofila di servizio in two scavetti, tragic memory of a kitchen of decades ago someone works the mantecatura in the tray and someone if it does it then in the dish, finding a little aesthetic pond broth under the rice; the risotto is at a very good point of cooking and someone Finally the reason why we came to this farm: the mixed fried. Unfortunately, a mixed fried that they call not complete and composed only of steaks and cervella and as sweet parts from apple and sweet fry, therefore only 4 pieces while the fried to say mixed Piedmontese must have a dozen. There was then the addition of large and tasty meatballs made on the retina of the interior, a pity that also these were too salty. To conclude, excellent cake, but we are told that they do not. At the end of the meal at our reports we are given two little nice answers, the first: when we see the empty service dishes return we mean that things are perfect; the second: being the cook subjected an hypoxodic diet can not cure the salting of the dishes that however is not craft and salo them so because I see that people eat them. Of course, a birthday convivial lunch is not the right place during which to make discussions or at least to send back the dishes; of course, when a holder is in front of customers who manifest themselves as competent, should be more attentive to the answers. Taking into account the wine served in open bottles of Barbera Terre del Barolo, produced by supermarket, the price of 35 €, given the presence of various osteries of the area that provide traditional menus between 25 and 30 is very high.

It is not enough to open a pseudo-agriturism to feed people, decent buffet appetizers panissa and inpresentable wine

Local ‘lost’ in the countryside near Santhià, small parking in the aia, space that allows small visitors to see different courtyard animals. The manager welcomes us with kindness and smile, the place is probably made in the old stable, with vaulted brick ceiling, around many objects of the peasant life of a time. Clean bathrooms. The menu offered some appetizers, a first half mixed fried, or you can give up the first and opt for the full mixed fried. We choose the first option, the service is quick and efficient, good food: especially for appetizers the quantities are not huge, but in the end you get up sazi and satisfied with the quality of food. Not very low price, considered the prices std of the farms, but acceptable. Two notes, I hope constructive: the wine (probably of the house, indeed – positive of the word) did not excite me; if the payments with ATM/credit cards are not accepted, it would be necessary to give information at the time of booking, so as not to be in difficulty at the time of payment.

Delicious work lunch. Quality and quantity in a farm that makes you feel at home. Delicate cuisine and dairy. Owner and friendly and professional staff. Absolutely to try!
