Good first impression..poor english menu. One price in english other in italian menu. You have to be careful with this. Ask several times before ordering anything otherwise you can be surprised at paying (not the good way). Hint: be careful with steak ;) its not 3.9 as stated in english menu although we asked several times..Dear Mr. Sandis,We're very sorry to read your negative feedback; please let us further explain the misunderstanding occurred.Here in Italy the "Fiorentina" steak is always priced in any restaurant for 1 hectogram (1/10 of kilogram), so for 1 Kg of meat (2.2 lbs) you pay 10x the menu price. Even though it's not reasonable to believe that 1Kg steak can be priced 4 euros in a restaurant or anywhere else, we eventually accorded you a huge discount, accepting in fact the amount you were willing to spend. We also had an outdated english menu, that we have already reprint, and we're sorry for that.Best regards,Graziano Besenzi

When you enter the restaurant it's quite impressive with amazing views. However, we were quickly disappointed with staple foods missing from a menu and we felt that the meals were cobbled together with what could be found. The price compared to the experience was not good value and we would not return.

Quando siamo giunti in questo locale qualcuno del gruppo ci ha fatto notare le vetrofanie molto datate, segno di un locale che ha vissuto i fasti di un tempo. Non tengo fede a quest'osservazione ma entrando si nota tuttavia che il locale è rimasto sicuramente fermo a 30 anni fa (l'angolo bar specialmente è il caos con farmaci appoggiati in un tavolo poco distante, frustini per le mosche in un altro angolo, lavello del bar pieno di sacchetti di cioccolatini e via dicendo).I tavoli invece comunicano il lusso di un tempo: doppia tovaglia, tovaglioli di tessuto finemente piegati, bicchiere, calice piccolo e grande, numerose posate, cameriere elegantemente vestito e molto servizievole ai tavoli...insomma si rimane disorientati per gli elementi di approssimazione ed eleganza al contempo che cozzano tra di loro.Ma passiamo alla descrizione della loro cucina: iniziamo con un piatto di affettati e un piatto di torta fritta (spalla cotta buona, torta fritta discreta), proseguiamo in meglio con i primi (le caramelle ricotta e spinaci sono eccezionali, ottimi anche i ripieni di spalla cotta) ma inizia la discesa coi secondi: arrosticini che nonostante siano un piatto da centro Italia risultano purtroppo secchi e chiusi in un poco elegante foglio di stagnola e la noce di vitello con agrumi; una porzione risicata, poco male però, perché a livello di gusto generale il piatto è una delusione inclusa la fragola di contorno fuori stagione, senza dolcezza e a mio modesto parere anche senza senso.Il crollo totale arriva però col tiramisù che badate bene non è rappresentato scomposto, ma è un tiramisù classico (proprio come piace a me, almeno a vista).Ora il tiramisù accademicamente andrebbe preparato la sera prima, in modo che con una notte di riposo in frigo (si badi bene, in frigo) tutti i sapori si amalgamino alla perfezione, e i biscotti, o il pan di Spagna, prendano la giusta umidità . E' un dolce freddo, che non conosce nella sua realizzazione alcun'impatto col calore di nessun tipo.E invece....mi arriva un tiramisù con la crema in basso che nel giro di pochi secondi inizia sciogliersi visibilmente, affondo il cucchiaino e vedo i savoiardi secchi (cioè non bagnati dal caffè), in bocca risulta...freddo in alcuni punti, caldo (!!!) in altri. Insomma orrendo. Il mio dubbio, come già accaduto in altri locali è che questo prodotto stesse fino a poco tempo fa in freezer e poi col microonde si sia provveduto a sciogliere il cuore congelato. No comment.Per farla breve, la quota a persona spesa per questo pranzo non è stata manco economica: ben 30 euro a testa. Impressionante che il vino sfuso fermo (che personalmente non mi ha lasciato manco un buon ricordo) venga venduto a 12 euro al litro, praticamente al costo di un buon rosso o bianco piacentino in bottiglia. A parte i primi dunque, non è un locale che personalmente mi invoglia a ritornarci.

In the lower part of the medieval village of Castell'Arquato, along the steep road that leads to the Castle, you find the Restaurant Enoteca del Borgo. Local small, intimate and welcoming, the ideal place to taste the specialities of Piacenza both traditi

Very charming restaurant we visited twice, both times for lunch. On the road to the castle, possibly 75m from the entrance gate. Very charming, patient and helpful staff, and the food, mainly the pasta, was worthy. Being lunch, I might like to suggest the house wine (it was a refreshing, very reasonable Lambrusco) Was fun...

We had lunch here sat outside in the autumn sun in the beautiful square of the old town. It was so atmospheric and the food and wine were fantastic. We just had a plate of mixed vegetarian anti pasti and a plate of the day, fresh pasta parcels with herbs and ricotta in a sage butter sauce. The anti pasti were some grilled porcini, a melanzane and courgette timbale and a small frittata in a pumpkin sauce...delicious. The owner set our table outside with a linen table cloth and we had a lovely bottle of local red....heaven. Great value too, don't go for the ham and cheese boards next door this is better value.Thank you so much.Massimo.

Love this restaurant, I have been several times and always had a wonderful meal.The owner & staff are most attentive and the menu, although not vast, has fresh, local produce & an excellent wine list. Quite pricey, but well worth the visit.

We had an amazing lunch here. Relaxed, beautiful food paired with great wines and terrific service! The food was both representative of the region but complex and varied as well. Beautiful and lovingly prepared cuisine by thoughtful staff. Do not hesitate to stop here if you are in the neighborhood or drive here on purpose! It is a dining experience you will enjoy!

First of all I suggest everyone who is on his way to Piacenza or Parma to make a detour for a few km in order to reach Castell'Arquato a lovely and enchanting village which will bring you back to Middle Ages. A non touristic route - rather unkonown by Italians too - a historical beauty which is just waiting to be shared. If you are able to do it, park the car and have a healthy walk up to the top of the village where you find the main square ( Piazza Monumentale ). On your way back you will be hungry so that it will be the time to stop : just at the foot of the village you will find the Trattoria del Voltone. Local traditional restaurant, elegant and rustic at the same time located in a medieval building wisely refurbished. The menu is nothing but standard ! The chef offers you selected dishes, interesting matches and fresh ingredients. I guess foreigners might not understand the value of such a cuisine because they are used to expect some stereotypes from Italian food that you won't find here ! You can eat something special, delicious, accompanied by a bottle that you can choose from the comprehensive wine list - even if I would rather suggest to go for some local wines instead. The area is land to some very good wines ( most of them sparkling ) which match perfectly the food. I was impressed by the Monterosso - a local white wine - ( not in the wine list ) which is served like a sort of "house wine". But it is not the usual low profile wine that you find in most restaurants where you order a "house wine". I was told that a local wine maker producing biological wine just bottles that fantastic wine for the restaurant. I was so impressed that I asked the two brothers managing the place to sell a couple of bottles to take home with me. I enjoyed very much the friendly spirit of the brothers, they spent their time explaining dishes and wines and we received also a rather quick service having our son with us ( 8 years old ). The price paid for the bill : very acceptable. Wine list : reasonable prices for high profile labels.

This restaurant is amazing. The terrace is a beautiful place to eat and take in wonderful views. The food is superb and the wine list offers a great choice (some are very local). The very-reasonable price top off an outstanding meal. I would recommend to anyone and return if again in the area. Cheers
