Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Alessandria
Alessandria borders both Liguria and Lombardy, and the table shows it: there is farinata, there are agnolotti, and there is wine.
The dishes
- Rabaton — long dumplings of ricotta and greens, boiled and then baked: they belong to Alessandria and are not found elsewhere;
- Agnolotti with roasting juices, and meatless ravioli as you climb the Apennines;
- Chickpea farinata, as in Liguria, brought over by the closeness of Genoa;
- Stracotto and bollito with their sauces.
The sweets
The soft amaretti of Mombaruzzo, and the chocolate baci di Acqui.
In the glass
Gavi DOCG (Cortese) among the whites, Barbera del Monferrato, Dolcetto di Ovada DOCG, Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG, and the Timorasso of the Colli Tortonesi, the white rediscovered over the past thirty years.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
