"I was for the first time at the buscone Saturday evening 22 January with my wife, curious from the signal of the slow guide food osterie of Italy 2022 and from a friend who would like to go there. finding the place in the dark was not trivial, but I must say that the village of bosmenso is in itself a lovely and unexpected place, like the restaurant. possibility of menu degistation and à la carte menu (and already this is a point in favor, not always in fact you want to eat appetizer, 2 first, 2 seconds and sweet, although in the format of degotation is small portions.) good risotto with artichokes and saffron pistils (although I have to say that these pistills are practically colorless and I would say even little fragrant expectations perhaps a traditional yellow risotto would pay more. ) good and delicious braised ravioli, a classic of the cuisine of the Oltrepò, although perhaps I would have cooked them a few more minutes is not a spago to go to the tooth but here more ravioli. really excellent wet boar that dissolved in mouth and for nothing stump as often happens with wild boar, good ribs of caramelized pork, although not tender and unfortunately served with roasted potatoes that I thought were of the previous day. big barn sorbet. all watered by a great bonarda of the house, but if you want I am sure that there is a beautiful wine card and very suitable for the dishes proposed, the room is well maintained, clean and well managed, in short, an experience certainly to be repeated with friends, hoping that the owner and the sisters (as I read in a local guide) can arrange the few things out known. one last point: very honest account, in the average area with an excellent value for money."

Agriturismo La Fuga

➤ Cascina Cagnano 1, 27057, VARZI, Italy

Menu • Kebab • Europeo • Messicano • Frutti Di Mare

"Avoiding the seen-it-all-before Italian food can be hard in this beautiful country. ..But not this time! La Fuga gracefully combines unmistakably fresh local ingredients with a smart and colourful approach to traditional food. Their dishes are not ornately presented but beautiful nevertheless. Rather than getting lost in complicated menus, we were fed a unknown number of dishes, simply based on the products that were available on that day (with the single choice of stating if vegetarian, vegan or otherwise). Portions were very generous, however, with a style of cooking free from butter or heavy dressings, we surprisingly ended up not feeling too full. We started with apparently innocuous but truly delicious miniature vegetable cakes, plus local cured meats and cheeses. The feather like veggie homemade ravioli, accompanied by a rocket pesto, were probably my favourite and yet more ravioli variations came and they were equally irresistible. My friends meat dishes were too memorable, I hear, with the fulsome flavours of locally farmed animals. Dessert, local liqueurs, biscuits, etc, all included in what was a perfectly affordable bill. Oh, and did I say that we had lunch under the outside pergolas and then relaxed on the deck chairs shaded by the trees (and with a beautiful countryside view)? Not least, the owner and the staff were a pleasure and a delight to deal with. Top marks all around, no doubt."

Agriturismo Ra Canva Da Berto

➤ Fraz.Bognassi,13, 27057, VARZI, Italy

Menu • Kebab • Caffè • Europeo • Messicano

"I like to return to Ra Canva, I often do it with a fairly large company of people; cared for the welcome, Roberto always opened the door of the house with smile and sympathy as would a dear and old friend, his collaborators are always very helpful. Just outside Varzi reach the hamlet of Bognassi, spend a very small but delicious garden and you feel like entering a warm and characteristic high mountain chalet, In the kitchen, they are attentive and have always welcomed our requests, me and another friend are vegetarian and we always rise from table much more than sati and with the satisfied palate. Upon arrival, there are many benches, focaccias, vents and bakery products. Wide variety of appetizing appetizers, delicious and also abundant; according to carnivorous commensali also the meats are excellent, not least first, seconds and sweets proposed. Before leaving, we go to the room where Roberto still pampers us with a tasting of digestive alcoholic sugars that have become the final cult-comic moment of our dinners! For those who want to make a weekend they also have rooms available. Recommended recommended!!!"

Cafè Camerini

Menu • Pasta • Gelato • Italiano • Colazione

"Da un po ' di tempo sulla lista dei posti da provare, sono stato a cena con la mia famiglia e ho passato una piacevolissima serata! Appena entrati in un ambiente curato e confortevole, con i mobili di una volta (bellissima la vecchia credenza da drogheria restaurata), siamo stati accolti da Silvia, che ci ha accompagnato per tutta la cena con la sua gentilezza e simpatia. Abbiamo potuto apprezzare gli ottimi butalà (gnocchi di patate del Brallo al tartufo di Menconico): uno dei migliori piatti assaggiati di recente! Molto buoni anche i secondi (guancia di vitello brasata) e i formaggi; nota di merito a Clara, per i dolci e le sue torte! In 4 il conto è stato circa di 40 € a testa, compresa una bottiglia di Pinot Nero Costa del Nero di Giorgi di Vistarino, con un ricarico corretto. In conclusione, non rimane che tornare!"

Albera Rita

➤ Piazza Della Fiera, 6, Varzi, Italy, 27057, VARZI

Menu • Pizza • Kebab • Europeo • Messicano

"The restaurant we intended to use was unfortunately closed on the day we stayed, this seemed to be the only option in the town. Food here was ok, but we opted for fish as they give you “free” pizza with a drink and that wasn’t all that great. The fish was ok, over cooked but edible. The bill was quite expensive and we weren’t given an itemised breakdown. More worryingly (and I wouldn’t print this if it hadn’t been the only place I’d used my Euro card for 6months), the waitress took my card from the table and disappeared, then came back and said I had to go inside. We paid the bill at the till and left. The following day I found my card had been cloned and cash withdrawal attempted. There is no evidence, but circumstantially this is of concern. Of course it could have been a rogue waitress, but to be safe don’t let your card out of sight!"
