"Sometimes you find hidden pearls and when you find them without having looked for them, the satisfaction is even greater. This is what happened to me and Watson in the latest food and wine survey carried out in Borgosesia. The Croce Bianca restaurant was suggested to us by people in the food and wine sector as a historic place in this town in Valsesia in the province of Vercelli. We therefore booked in advance knowing that the rooms or rather the single room of the Croce Bianca had a limited capacity (a maximum of 60 people could be accommodated . As usual we arrive around 7.30pm, but the room has been welcoming people for half an hour before. We are received by the young staff (a girl and a boy , very courteous and efficient. The room, with barrel vaults, is warm and welcoming; the traditional tables are covered with synthetic tablecloths, but pleasant to the touch and in any case in good taste to which paper napkins are combined, but with an unexpected elegance. We are quickly given menus and a wine list to which a list of off-menu dishes is added. The latter includes those possible dishes with the freshest raw materials available only occasionally. Here that among these dishes there is tripe which by its nature must be of the day. A nice feature of the menu is that some dishes are present in 2 sizes, small and large, so you can best satisfy your appetite. Watson and I orient ourselves on the à la carte menu where we both choose as a starter a small dish (which isn't so small! of veal with tuna sauce, as a first course we choose risotto with toma cheese for me and ravioli for Watson while we both orient ourselves on the second course on a slice of sirloin with reduction accompanied by baked potatoes; we conclude with a sorbat (as always, alas, it's not sorbet, but a spoonful of ice cream with lemon and sage as well as the closing coffee. We accompany dinner with a bottle of Mesolone (based on Croatina from the Barni company and a bottle of mineral water. At the end of the dinner we spend €2,113. Everything is delicious and very fresh: the veal with tuna sauce and the sliced meat melt in your mouth; the sorbet is sublime and the cooking is quick. The bathrooms are also very tidy. Only the noise at the end of the evening is a bit annoying, but this was only due to the other diners. In conclusion, a place not to be missed, even for takeaway."
