Millions of years ago, the Po Valley did not exist and the Adriatic Sea stretched all the way to Piedmont. Therefore, I present a seafood menu suitable for winter evenings by the fireplace and beautiful sunny days in the garden. As an appetizer, I propose anchovies with green bagnetto, marinated anchovies, seared octopus with potatoes, and warm cannellini beans, combining sea and land ingredients. Fish patties drowned in the sauce add a delicious touch. For the first course, an ever-present spaghetti with a seafood mixture. For the main course, I suggest salmon cooked on a salt plate with vegetables. To end on a sweet note, a fresh fruit Cheesecake and limoncello made strictly by me. This is my seafood menu, a tribute to a very distant past.
The experience with Monica was the best thing we could have imagined or asked for. She was a great host and a great chef - she clearly knows a lot about what she's doing. She welcomed us to her beautiful home with open arms :) as we were talking about Parmigiano while dinner and where to buy it she took us the next day (on her day off!) to a friend of hers and let us taste and buy the best of the cheese she had (and Renata had a lot of delicious cheese :))
She treated us like good friends and not only gave us a great experience but also great tips to make our own tiramisú and traditional pasta. I would book this experience over and over again!
Grazie mille, Monica!!

Une belle expérience avec Monica qui est une femme formidable. Nous avons fait des pâtes fraîches et du tiramissu. Nous avons passé une soirée enrichissante.

Bella tenuta, meravigliosa padrona Monica. Abbiamo cucinato insieme pasta fresca e il tiramisù è risultato eccellente e divertente. Interessanti lunghe conversazioni si sono concluse intorno alle 22: 00, non potevano fermarsi in alcun modo. Grazie mille per la cena perfetta.

Monica taught me and my 3 kids how to prepare 2 pasta dishes and tiramisu from scratch, with no stress. She also made accommodation as we arrived at her place late. Her charming house, along with her warmth and expertise made the whole experience so memorable. Thank you, Monica, for a true Piedmontese hospitality!
