Boccondivino, Bra
Restaurant
via Mendicita' Istruita', 14, Bra; Tel.: 0172-425674
This restaurant is installed in the headquarters of Slow Food so all the ingredients used - flour, meat, cheese, fruit, vegetables - come from strictly local producers or from the various presidi that comprise Slow Food. The recipes, too, represent the classics of the region: carne cruda battuta al coltello (ground lean beef, served raw and marinated in olive oil and lemon juice) or a flan of the famous cardoons grown in Nizza Monferrato. Leave room for the divine panna cotta for dessert. Good wine list with very reasonable prices. A Select Italy favorite!
