Agriturismo Bassanine

A fairy-tale setting for a property of almost castle-like aspect, originally built as a customs post on the River Po in the fourteenth century. Today Massimo Spigaroli, whose family were once sharecroppers on the surrounding land, is its owner and has transformed the complex into a complete destination: guest rooms, the Hosteria del Maiale bistrot and spaces for private events. Completing the experience are a visit to the Museo del Culatello and a ‘gastrofluvial’ cuisine deeply bound to the traditions of the local area. Among the historic dishes, the frogs’ legs stand out, golden with sweet ga

Contemporary spaces spread across two floors, plus a veranda terrace, make this solid restaurant a great choice for lovers of Japanese specialties – both cooked and raw preparations of meat and fish – executed with a light touch and clean, distinct flavors. At lunch (weekdays only), the kitchen also offers rice bowls and noodle dishes accompanied by various sides. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated Champagne section on the wine list.

A pleasant (and excellent) provincial restaurant with a modern feel and a traditional brick-vaulted ceiling, where owner-chef Samuele Miglioli pays tribute to local traditions in his cuisine (don’t miss the marubini pasta in three broths and the famous pumpkin tortelli). The dishes here focus on seasonal ingredients which are carefully transformed into generous dishes full of flavour, as demonstrated by the rice timbale served on a delicious beef ragù and topped with beef carpaccio. There’s also an excellent selection of wines, with a particular focus on sparkling wines.

Having successfully been in business for over 40 years, this restaurant continues to shine for its top-quality traditional cuisine, priding itself, as it has always done, on its love for local specialities. Goose dishes take centre stage on the menu (the area is famous for its goose), alongside an excellent selection of traditional boiled meats all of which are sourced locally. There’s also a good choice of wine, which is skilfully displayed and served from a trolley in the dining room from which wines are served by the glass.

Situated near the banks of the River Po, this century - old, family - run restaurant serves regional specialities, such as the famous culatello ham. You will find reasonably priced local dishes at the ‘Tipico di Casa Spigaroli’ at lunchtime during the week, and themed menus at the weekend.
