le patate fritte ed il vino "valcalepio"...non è della casa, è in bottiglia!!!
premetto che non mi è stato consegnato un menu'. mentre eravamo già a tavola imbandita di bevande, senza alcun preavviso, ci siamo trovati la proprietaria sotto il tavolo a sistemarlo, perchè traballante. Al di là della forma, che lascia un po' a desiderare, speravo di mangiare almeno bene. Mi è stato servito il piatto forte della casa, la foiada con i funghi...era pasta fresca molliccia, piena di acqua di cottura, cosparsa di qualche fungo anch'esso lessato..immangiabile. La cameriera, visto il mio piatto ancora integro, si è offerta di portarmi l'altro piatto forte della casa, i casoncelli...non erano male, ma c'è di meglio. La mia ragazza invece ha preso un piatto di funghi precotti...gli stessi che rano posti sulla pasta, per intenderci!passiamo ai secondi...una zingara (bastone con carne di vitello arrotolata) salatissima, e un brasato di asina con polenta...sufficiente. volevamo prendere un dolce...dopo ripetuti solleciti, invani, alla cameriera abbiamo deciso di tagliare la corda, recandoci alla cassa. ed ecco il bello...il piatto di casoncelli gentilmente offerto dalla cameriera me lo son ritrovato sul conto, peraltro senza poter neanche riscontrare i reali prezzi, visto che il menù non mi è stato esibito. Cmq..conto di 76 euro per: 2 coperti, una bottiglia d'acqua, una bottiglia di vino 13 €, 4 fette di speck(4€), 2 primi 16 €, 1 piatto di funghi, una zingara, il brasato e le patate, € 37. Assolutamente da evitare...
