La signora Susanna mi ha trattato benissimo! Ottima cuoca, cura dei particolari e ricerca della qualità migliore:consigliatissimo

Fantastic gnocchi and desert!! Visited with Dario the nephew of the owner. Great service. Lovely to see a typical Italian family celebrating their son's first birthday. Big family big celebration David

Ottima cena con amici! Servizio impeccabile, piatti ottimi cucinati molto bene con ingredienti di qualità! Davvero notevole il secondo, maialino all'arancia, e la verdura pastellata servita agli antipasti! La signora Susanna gentilissima!! Lo consiglio vivamente!! View menu

Sono andato al ristorante per portare santa maria per una cena di famiglia. il servizio è stato accorciato e puntuale e i piatti semplicemente delizioso. Abbiamo provato i gnocchi di formaggio locali, che consiglio vivamente anche perché fatti a mano da loro, e i ravioli ripieni di carne con pecorino e miele, molto delicati, così come un ottimo quiche e un taglio di qualità. Ristorante consigliato per chi ama i piatti fatti in casa ma allo stesso tempo con qualche nota gourmet!

Location downtown of village of Busca Parking easy (big square at 200 feet) Staff polite and friendly. Menu good with an interesting choice of starters, pasta and meat. Pasta very good. Order agnolotti : home made. Wine list very good. Of course good list of local wines (Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Barolo). Cleanliness VERY GOOD Price correct for the restaurant. IN BRIEF: It is a good (family) restaurant. Good choice if you want to have a look on Piedmont 's cuisine. Good average of local wines.

Porta Maria is an unforgettable experience -we love our cozy warm room with balcony and we stayed for 5 days and did enjoy every single meals there. The dining room is beautiful settings and the service is great ,exceptional quality food with wine to match. Big thanks to chef Susi ,she did extra miles to satisfy our demanding appetite by making typical Piemontese dishes -Bagna Cauda Fato Misto exclusively for us. Both of them are beyond words. Just go! Grazie mille from Stefano and Sophia, we will be back soon : View menu

Honestly worth a side trip. Absolutely fabulous risotto and gnocchi. This is Piedmont, so try the beef tagliata with black rock salt from Cyprus. A unique example of traditional northern Italian food at it's very best. Very reasonable prices. A three course menu was on offer at 21 euros! Try to go there on an empty stomach as this hearty fare. My favourites are the first courses and the mains but dessert lovers won't be disappointed. Quick service, cozy decor... easily one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Worth multiple visits.

We dined here and had a real taste of Piemontese cuisine. Due to the large group we selected a fixed plate menu that included 5 antipasti, 2 pasta dishes, a second and a selection of dolce. All of the dishes were traditional including anchovies in tomato sauce, sliced veal with a tuna aioli, buttata a take on steak tartare), a vegetable stuffed pastry in a cheese fondant, gnocchi with browned butter and cheese, veal agniolotti, roast leg of lamb and a selection of dolce from the local area. A fantastic way to end our Italian adventure. A local favourite. You will not be disappointed!! View menu
