12/22/2023 0 Comments Trattoria la coccinellaAfter 25 years of travel there, it isn’t often but some restaurants feel they have the right to gouge clients given the season is so short, but at Coccinella just the opposite is true. ![]() The price of truffles was normal, and this is something that I always look at when dining in this region. Of course I started with the raw beef and white truffles after smelling through a pile of white truffles, the owner agreed it’s not a great season. It is obvious this restaurant works hard to maintain a quality client and offers traditional local foods. They we’re accommodating, attentive and followed my antics, something that can be hairy. ![]() Luckily we were in good hands because the owners, three brothers, two of which work on the floor and one the kitchen, all had best intentions from the start. At Coccinella you will not find a terrible review on trip advisor and for a good reason. Cuisine is something that must have a standard, otherwise bad food, and bad service would be the equivalent of terrible restaurant. In our opinion service is important in any establishment, the first impression is always the most important. Let me tell you this pasta is über rich, and is made with plenty of egg yolk so if you have a cholesterol problem you’re in the right place.īut what can you say about the perfect meal, you can say that it’s a combination of service ambiance, cuisine, and of course price performance, something most people consider to be the most important of the four criteria. So if you’re not used to, or at least if you’re digestive system is not used to meat and carbohydrates on a very regular basis, like two times a day you better watch out.Īfter eating in multiple restaurants during our travels here, our own criteria started to narrow down to restaurants serving both reasonable portions, not too large because in this region it’s rare to find small portions especially when it comes to the locally homemade Tajarin pasta. It’s hard to believe but it’s true, the traditional food there is mostly pasta and meat. Now the main problem we have well spending a few weeks in this region, is that you rarely find greens salad greens, what you expect in most places you shouldn’t expect here. In a restaurant in the middle of a small village in the countryside of Piemonte, it really makes good sense to serve food that’s honest, has integrity and sticks to the point. Sometimes you are thinking to yourself why are so many restaurants over complicating things. ![]() Lunch started with an amuse bouche, a small focaccia sandwich that hit the spot – it was very well done and to the point. It was absolutely empty when we arrived in my travel partner thought that maybe we could be the only people there, but I knew we were lucky to get a table due to a cancellation. We were a little bit early in the first customers there so we had a chance to see the restaurant and choose our table. When we entered the bar there was a gentlemen looking local I presumed, he turned out to be the owner who greeted us with a pleasant smile. The trattoria was described to us as a friendly place, you arrive to a small bar and the restaurant is discreetly behind. We were recommended by Silvio our faithful resource in the Langhe, he can be found at Villa d’Amelia.
