Aquila - GIAVENO

We often come to dinner here: Arianna and her father are exquisite, friendly and friendly people, as well as available. Arianna cooks divinely and in very abundant portions (we never leave sazi: more! For those who say that the structure would be (addition! to throw down and remake, I think it should change type of restaurant...maybe a luxury restaurant in the center of Turin, instead of a break on the mountains and family run? For me it is already cozy so, then, when they can, they bring some improvements here and there: enough! Who cares if the place is not instagramable: you are fine, you are treated well and you eat well!

The first consideration is the building that houses the restaurant: it should be broken down by its conditions, both external and internal, or entirely renovated, but it seems to me an unrealizable option. The people, very kind and of which I would like to recognize the commitment, that they get in the kitchen and in the room do everything to satisfy the requests of the customers that do not miss, considering that in the area the restaurants are very few, almost non-existent. I ordered polenta with pork shoulder in the oven that was served in a very abundant portion, but that did not convince me: I do not know the recipe and I can not judge, but the meat that accompanied the polenta was undone, a kind of stew with meat paraded, with a flavor tending to pepper and smoked, perhaps a characteristic of the Piedmontese cuisine that I do not know. The bread, bad. For polenta, a dessert, a beer bar and a small bottle of water I spent 20.20 euros.

This place is reached along a road with several bends surrounded by thick vegetation, ends in the beach in front of the restaurant, in front of you can admire the mountain where once you ski, now it is a perfect place to sunbathe or make an excursion. It is frequented by families, couples and many bikers, the restaurant would have great potential, but it would be totally renovated, especially the bathrooms, the room and the dehor are very neglected, the staff is improvised, the prices very high and the kitchen is not a great deal, I also mark that for a few years they charge parking in front of the restaurant. I conclude by recommending the direction to perform some improvements.

Morning on the snow ended at the restaurant Excellent polenta with various sauces. Excellent appetizers Value for money ok We will be back

We stopped on the evening of August 15 not to return to the heat for dinner but it would have been better the plain sauna. A horrible kitchen, we ordered a mixed appetizer on the suggestion of the waiter and two pizzas, it was all poor and it cost anyway 12€ the only appetizer. When the pizzas came, they looked like two carasau bread discs with the dressing above. Friendly but disorganized staff,in 3 they turned between the tables to ask of who the dishes were. Very old and indecent local, even the furniture on which the cutlery rest was close to the collapse. I wonder how Asl can allow it to remain open. We're done with a savory bill. Avoid at least you who are in time!! !
