The «bread-test» is a simple but quite reliable indicator if the chief of a restaurant cares for the little details in his kitchen or not: If the bread is crispy and freshly cut you can expect delicious dishes. The new «Cannavacciulo Cafè e Bistro» in Novara failed the test: An attentive and friendly waiter put the breadbasket on our table. The bread-slices unfortunately were already dry on the surface. «We cut the bread before rush hour of our service » explained the waiter to our soft critic. He immediately brought a new basket of bread. Obviously not freshly cut. Ahemâ¦If a restaurant carries the name «Cannavacciolo» in its name you expect only the best: The great Italian cook from the «Villa Crespi» appears regularly in TV-Shows, in newspaper-ads and TV-spots advertising for Gorgonzola or other Italian goodies. This time the bread-test proofed to be unprecise: First we were surprised with a unexpected «amuse geule» made with foam of Mascarpone on a crispy popped rice bed as a welcome from the kitchen. Nice! The following «insalata mista» was fresh and ok â but definitely to expensive (12 Euro). Then arrived another surprise we didnât order: a small plate of perfectly cooked risotto. Yamyam! The main course was a big chunk of «Fassone» beef â a prime filet from the famous Piemontese cattle. We ordered it rare-to-medium, but it was more like medium-to-well-done. Despite excellent quality of the meat therefore a bit dry. But the dish was accompanied with a contorno of tasty Cima Rape and cubes of potato-gratin.The best unexpected surprise came with the simple coffee: a plate of «aragoste dolce»-a crispy millefoglie brioche filled with whipped cream.» The bread at the beginning could have learned from itâ¦Dear UrskernThank you for your wonderfully detailed review and for choosing to dine at the Cannavacciuolo Caffè & Bistrot. We apologise most sincerely about the bread and we are thankful for this observation so that we can do our utmost to ensure bread is freshly cut. On the other hand we are simply delighted that on the whole you enjoyed the cooking and our little surprises. We are most attentive of our guests' comments as they are the key to greater service in our restaurant. We naturally hope that you will return for a second dining experience with us.Warm wishesCinzia Primatesta Cannavacciuolo

First of all, you get a warm welcome. The dining room is calm, comfortable and the tables are nicely decorated.And now, the serious things start. The menu is very appealing. Better, you see that the cook is creative. They also use many local organic products. The wine list is also impressive. If you need help to choose, Mauro, the Maître dâhôtel, gives you bright advices. We really enjoyed a lot the dinner. Great diner! Thank you very much Marta. (Marta Grassi is the 1 Michelin start cook.)We will come back.....and all at reasonable price.If you want to stay, they have 2 rooms that are worth to be booked in advance, also at reasonable price.

We had dinner here with some friends right before Christmas. The restaurant has a seasonal-food approach, with just few selected dishes on the menu, really high quality and pretty unique selection of ingredients. The environment looks classy and cozy at the same time, but being quite small, I would suggest to reserve a table in advance. Absolutely a must in Novara.

Novara was pretty empty at lunchtime that Sunday, so we asked a group of Italians, clearly local people, where we could find a nice place to eat. They invited us to tag along to where they were headed themselves - this Bistrot, and we each enjoyed one of the best light lunches of our week. I had a seafood starter with huge prawns on shell, and Graham ordered a pasta dish (I cannot remember what) but I can tell you that he hunted in his wallet yesteray for the receipt because he was so anxious to pass on the good news...

We went as a 30-strong group. The restaurant coped really well with a variety of dietary requirements, adapting the 7-course set menu as necessary. The vegetarian options were mainly the standard dishes with the meat removed and lacked a bit of imagination.The desert options were great, varied and fun. The risotto was also delicious.

Loved this place! Very reasonable coperto of â¬1.50 per person - amazing bread and artisanal breadsticks (probably 10 varieties), wonderful oil. We shared a typical local starter and were very impessed - a portion for one was huge! Loved the balsamic red onions, the cheeses, the jams - everything was just delicious. Then we took pastas - I had the black gnocchi with beet and Gorgonzola sauce and my husband - the agnolotti. Both very good and generously sized, and amazingly only â¬10 each. With water (free) and one coffee all this came to â¬37. A real bargain for the quality and quantity of food. I wish we had room for dessert!
