Excellent cafe and snack bar. Very clean. Very kind and friendly owners. You can also find a hard-to-find drink: Tamarindo! A truly refreshing nectar!!! Try it too!!!

Had lunch here for the first time. The welcome was very warm and friendly. The appetizers were excellent, especially the Russian salad and veal with tuna sauce. Both the first and second courses were good. The owner was very friendly and always available to offer suggestions on the dishes. Good selection of wines. The price was reasonable given the high quality of the food.

What can I say...Fabrizio and Claudia are a guarantee! Claudia's cuisine is meticulously prepared and the food is authentic. Entering Vecchio Borgo is like feeling at home, thanks to Fabrizio's hospitality.

Excellent mid-August lunch. Excellent appetizers and first courses. Good second courses. Excellent home cooking. Recommended. Excellent destination for trips and holidays.

While searching for a last-minute restaurant for a Sunday lunch for two, we were immediately impressed by their hospitality. The kindness and attentive service continued throughout the meal, making it a truly positive experience. High-quality food, compliments to the chef, whom we met at the end of the meal. Each dish was prepared with dedication and using quality ingredients. The dessert was a perfect finish. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended. Now that we've discovered you, we'll be sure to see you again. Manuela and Riccardo

We dined at this restaurant on Friday evening. They welcomed us warmly, offering simple yet delicious dishes: Piedmontese appetizer, strascinati with basil pesto, and a delicate, harmonious braised beef. To conclude the meal, "the alchemist" Fabrizio delighted us with his lavender-based distillate. I'd say it was all excellent. Sincere regards. Thank you. Paola and Luigi

Lunch with bagna cauda: well done! A plus for the puntarelle as a new vegetable! Cappelletti in broth... true! What can I say... a new place to keep frequenting!

Been here for dinner Awesome experience I've tasted pretty much everything they had on the menu and it was all more than delicious Dishes prepared with care and noticeably top quality ingredients and tasted amazing, it's hard to find something better. (I could have eaten four portions of their ravioli and still want more) The owner is probably the coolest and funniest I've ever met (and I've met many), he created a nice and welcoming atmosphere as if we were guests at his own house. He genuinely cares about his clients and has ton of fun taking care of them. He makes homemade selection of grappa and various liquors which you should definitely try We had a nice chat about how he made them too Surely won't forget the good time we had I recommend ordering a full meal (starter, first, second and dessert), maybe try to order different dishes from the menu if you're not alone, so that you can get the most out of the experience. 10/10 Would definitely come back

We came to this lovely restaurant with our family for Christmas lunch. The menu was simple, tasty, varied, and beautifully presented, with friendly and efficient service. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere was pleasant and homely. A thoroughly positive experience, and I highly recommend this place. Its uniqueness is also due to the well-stocked newsstand/bookstore with local publications for mountain enthusiasts. We will definitely be back. Kudos to the owners and staff, who always have a smile on their faces!

Nice place, very large. I stopped in after a motorcycle ride and had a plate of agnolotti in walnut sauce, which was truly delicious. The Nebbiolo they serve by the glass is also quality. I had to wait a bit for my food, but they were almost finished serving, and I think the wait was a guarantee that they actually cooked my dish to order.

Seeking some refreshment in the Piedmont hills, we found ourselves in Ala di Stura, Ceres, and Mezzenile, and it was here that we stumbled upon the Il Vecchio Borgo bar and restaurant. Surprisingly, Fabrizio greeted us with genuine kindness and courtesy...not your typical noisy bar or restaurant, but with just a few patrons. We were served by the courteous staff, and the food was more than delicious: delicious (I'm holding back on a lower rating because I believe it can always be improved). We'll be back and highly recommend it.

Ristorantino/Bar a conduzione familiare, bella scoperta nel cuore di Mezzenile, a patto di scendere a qualche compromesso. Siamo stati a cena una sera di agosto, si entra dal bar per poi essere accompagnati al piano inferiore dove si trova una saletta modesta ma pulita, con pochi tavoli ed una piacevole musica di sottofondo. Purtroppo dalla bella porta finestra sul cortile, la vista si proietta su un cortile di cemento ma permette almeno di godere della brezza serale, fresca e tipica di montagna. Il titolare Fabrizio è una persona solare, anche se un po' troppo invadente e si occupa della sala. Il servizio è puntuale. In due, abbiamo mangiato bene, apprezzabile la qualità degli affettati, così come quella delle carni, dei primi e delle verdure croccanti e genuine, solo la polentina, non è stata particolarmente gradita (il pignoletto ha un sapore particolare, o è odio o è amore) ed il dolce così-così (la panna spray... anche no!). Parte dolente il conto sproporzionato di ben 90,5€ considerando che per saziarci abbiamo dovuto fare la scarpetta con tutti i piatti e farci fuori due cestini di pane. Ritoccando le quantità, sufficienti per i primi e secondi ma piuttosto scarse per antipasti e contorni e impegnandosi un po' di più sui dolci, si meriterebbe 4 stelle nonostante il prezzo. Per la 5 ahimè, ci sarebbe da lavorare ancora un po' sulla location. Torneremo? Probabilmente più avanti, con la speranza di trovare un'accoglienza meno soffocante e qualcosa in più nel piatto.

Well... From the outside it's very nice... Then you go into the newsagent's... We had a very good dinner, in the sense that the dishes were tasty... The bread was embarrassingly fresh from the freezer and very limited. We ate in the basement under the stairs. The atmosphere was shabby, with stuff scattered here and there... it's not typical of the mountains. It's a shame because the gentleman serving us is very kind.
