Ci sono stato con la Squadra Ciclistica in occasione di una "pizzata" di auguri e rinnovo adesione, con presentazione nuovi materiali un mercoledì sera: buone sia la pizza che il servizio. Phenomenon è sia Ristorante che attigua sala da ballo, il mercoledì con balli Caraibici; si attraversa la sala TV con maxischermo, e si balla. Da ritornarci!

Siamo stati al Phenomenon di Fontaneto d’Agogna per la serata con la Italian Dire Straits una cover band fantastica e siamo rimasti entusiasti. Cena ottima, servizio veloce e organizzazione impeccabile anche con il locale pieno. La qualità dei piatti è stata superiore alle aspettative: ingredienti curati, porzioni giuste e tempi perfetti tra una portata e l’altra. Poi lo spettacolo… energia pura! Atmosfera coinvolgente, audio perfetto e pubblico partecipe. È il posto ideale per chi vuole vivere una vera esperienza: non solo mangiare bene, ma godersi musica dal vivo di livello in un ambiente unico. Ogni volta che torniamo troviamo spettacoli diversi e sempre di qualità. Una certezza.

Locale, non troppo pettinato ideale per divertirsi senza sentirsi fuori luogo. C'è gente di tutte le età dai 20 25 fino ai 70. Classici locali del basso Novarese senza pretese col gioco di rime. Ad averne così personalmente lo apprezzo.

Serata domenicale del liscio: ottima la pista da ballo. Ottime orchestre ottimo audio. Gentile il personale. L'unica pecca è stata La cena a menu del ristorante: qualità scarsa.

Making the trip from Trento specifically to eat at Braceria del Conterissoso is absolutely worth it. The meat is excellent, with a wide selection of cuts to satisfy every taste. The side dishes are also excellent, all homemade, and there's a wide selection of desserts. Rita, the owner, is delightful: she explained the menu with great professionalism and guided us through the best choices. The restaurant is quaint, very well-kept, and welcoming—a place where you immediately feel at home. An experience worth repeating, without a doubt!

For those who enjoy meat, this is truly a top restaurant. There were seven of us. To tease and open our stomachs, we started with a simple dish of delicious raw ham and mushrooms. Then, on the Chef's advice, we shared two amazing Florentine steaks, one Picanha, and one diaphragm steak, all cooked to perfection and delicious. We were speechless... all accompanied by excellent wine. Finally, homemade desserts with generous portions. We spent about €60 each, including coffee and liqueurs. Money well spent for what we ate. A very characteristic place in an equally characteristic area. Please follow the signs or you'll end up somewhere else.

We stumbled upon this restaurant after having it marked on the map for a while, and finally decided to try it today. There were five of us, and we ordered an appetizer of platters, artichokes, beans, and two Florentine steaks weighing about 3 kg in total. What can I say: one of the best meats I've ever eaten. Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can taste the quality and attention to detail. A special thanks to Rita, who passionately explained everything they do and the quality of the products they choose, and to Tino, who performs a true miracle on the grill: the meat was simply wonderful. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and authentic: we truly felt at home. All five of us left satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommended.

Excellent grill with quality meats. Everything is cooked to perfection and served with kindness. The true soul of the place is Mrs. Rita, a charming lady who welcomes everyone with a smile and makes dinner even more enjoyable. Fair prices and a family atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We went to this restaurant after receiving a gift voucher for Christmas. Even though the voucher had expired, they turned a blind eye. The dinner was excellent. The meat was delicious, and we'll always remember the mashed potatoes. Rita made us feel at home. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back soon.

At this grill restaurant, you'll stand still. It has everything you could wish for. Incredibly high-quality ingredients, a family atmosphere, and timeless courtesy. The meat is sublime and cooked to perfection. I can't wait to return!

Hello, Today we visited the agriturismo "La Braceria del Conterissoso." Located not far from Fontaneto D'Agogna and the provincial road connecting the towns of Borgomanero and Novara. The agriturismo is open year-round on weekends. Rita and Tino welcomed us into a typical Piedmontese farmhouse setting. The restaurant features a rustic interior with a warm atmosphere. But don't worry, in the summer, the agriturismo has a large terrace overlooking the meadows. The cuisine is seasonal and local. They make sure to use a high-quality selection of products from the surrounding villages. Quality service is at the heart of the meal. Service is available in Italian, English, and French. We highly recommend this quality establishment, which provided an explosion of flavors for our taste buds. We will be back! Thank you to Rita and Tino and the whole team for your warm welcome!

A wonderful setting surrounded by greenery. In the summer, you can eat under a large porch created with wooden beams, giving the place a very "mountain refuge" feel. The meat is excellent and well-cooked; I'd say it's the best we've had so far. The other ingredients, like fruit and vegetables, are also seasonal and carefully selected. The staff is friendly and the owners are quirky...in a good way. The price is fair for the delicious food. A must-try.

Wow, what a feast! Starting with the excellent mixed antipasto that arrived in the blink of an eye, we continued with various cuts of meat, and you absolutely must try the picanha and the rib eye steak, cooked to perfection and incredibly flavorful! And to finish, a delicious bonet 😋 Rita, you really made us feel at home, we'll be back!

The restaurant is located in the middle of several villages but is well signposted and has on-site parking. The last 50 meters are on an unpaved but well-maintained road. For those arriving from the Romagnano area, if you use Google Maps, don't take the road on the right at Piano Rosa unless you have an off-road vehicle. 🤣 Continue towards Cureggio. Excellent quality meat, T-bone steaks, lamb chops, tagliata, grilled vegetables, side dishes, good wine, and a variety of desserts. If you want to eat excellent grilled meat, this is one of those places you have to go to.

Massimo Calò

Fantastic! The quality of the meat is excellent, and the side dishes and desserts are also delicious. Rita takes you on an unforgettable culinary journey (all the vegetable side dishes are expertly prepared by her). The Ossola cured meat platter is a must-try. Spectacular!

Locale molto accogliente, al tavolo fronte palco è stata servita una cena di buon livello, anche il vino adatto al cibo. Lo spettacolo a seguire è stato molto coinvolgere, i musicisti bravissimi. Bella serata

Nella noiosa vita quotidiana questo locale è una attrazione piena di vita e di movida con iniziative adatte ai giovani e ai meno giovani ma in cerca di qualche ora di ilarità e distrazioni. Locale funzionale e moderno con ampio parcheggio che dà Una sensazione di sicurezza e di pulizia.

Bel locale, ho messo 4stelle anche se ci siamo stati solo una volta perché cercavano un locale con più ampia scelta musicale latina-americana intorno a Verbania. Purtroppo non l'abbiamo trovato in quanto la salsa aveva tutta la stessa ritmica e in 4ore sono passate solo 2 kizombe, (1 ogni 2 ore!!!!) peccato, continueremo la ricerca

Rustic but welcoming place. Friendly staff, but too many mistakes, I'd say imprecise. Good meat, nice cuts, but nothing special, just average. Desserts, not exceptional, to my taste, definitely worth improving.

We went with friends for lunch on Sunday; there were six of us, including two children. We had a starter for four, which was very good and plentiful, then two amazing Florentine steaks, also very good, not to mention the exquisite tiramisu. For drinks, we had a good bottle of wine (2021 Gattinara), water, and coffee. The staff was very friendly and super kind, always smiling. It was a truly wonderful lunch! See you soon!

Mattia Pierelli

Definitely one of the best, if not the best, places to eat meat. Excellent appetizers, with excellent cured meats and cheeses accompanied by an excellent jam. The Fiorentina steak doesn't disappoint, both in its presentation and its sublime rare cooking! All this is accompanied by an excellent puree and a superb selection of excellent wines and local craft beers. I expected a different price, but other than that, I can't say I had a bad meal. So, for the quality, it deserves 4 stars!

Pochissima kizomba per non dire nulla, 2 in 4 ore, per i miei gusti poca varietà di tipi musicali e in un locale di un certo tipo un mojito analcolico fatto con gazzosa e sciroppo di menta!

What can I say? The place is located in the heart of the city. But when you enter, you can breathe in the mountain air, even though we weren't in the mountains. The meat is excellent, although I must say that they make you pay for it: any cut costs 25 euros for 8 pieces of meat, a platter 18 euros, the fillet was a small piece of meat of maximum 130 grams. It arrived at the table completely cold, I don't think I'll return, and the hostess was a bit unfriendly.

Another Saturday night, yet another gastronomic exploration. This time, the trail of taste leads Watson and me to Fontaneto d'Agogna, or rather, to Tapulino. Here, atop a hill we reach (thanks to the GPS) on a "dark and stormy" evening, lies the Braceria del Conterissoso. A grill restaurant where, naturally, meat reigns supreme, and according to the owner (of the place), it's top-notch. So much so that, with all the new diners, she begins a long and meticulous explanation of the menu, which includes numerous appetizers, various cuts of meat, mostly grilled (where the owner's husband is in charge), and various desserts. After inquiring about any allergies we may be sensitive to, the owner instructs the kitchen, where, she claims, she calls the shots (perhaps so, but we see her constantly wandering among the tables, expounding on the virtues and vices of the animals that, once slaughtered and properly cooked, will be included in the menu). We opt for a platter of Ossola cold cuts ("delicious") and a bean appetizer ("amazing"). For our main course, we choose the rib eye steak, which, given its weight, could have been what the menu calls a "super rib eye steak." A side of mashed potatoes and salad is included. The sides are good (although Watson had asked for the mashed potatoes to be without chives, but instead they arrive with this fantastic flavor enhancer, and only later does the traditional version arrive). Regarding the rib eye, while Watson is moderately satisfied, I was personally disappointed by the meat, which, even when ordered rare, was too tough and flavorless. I'm certainly wrong, but for me the problem was the hasty defrosting process (at the table where the rib eye was presented to us for weighing, one of the two was decidedly "stiff"...). Watson, not satisfied, decides to order a fruit salad with ice cream, while I wait until he's finished so we can enjoy a good coffee together. With a bottle of Mazzoni di Cavaglio Nebbiolo and mineral water, we spend an average of €60 each. The staff is courteous but a bit sluggish. The restaurant is quaint: essentially a wooden cabin with a modest number of indoor seats, just enough to be reasonably quiet and protected from excessive and unpleasant noise. The number of seats increases significantly in the warmer months, when the large veranda is furnished. November 27, 2025 Reply to the co-owner's response. Tapulino location: Google's navigation system provides the directions on your listing; I didn't say you use frozen foods, but that one of the two ribs was frozen. If you don't freeze the meat, how do you preserve it? The butcher's counter is refrigerated... and anyway, I'm not the one who's lying! I could be wrong, maybe... I'm used to thinking things through and not attacking like you did with your response; do you think everyone who leaves a review is a keyboard warrior (by the way, I sign my name and surname and I even included the receipt to prove I've been to your place...)? Glad to be! The fact that you prepare the dishes ahead of time isn't always true, because you yourself said that the mashed potatoes without chives needed to be prepared because they didn't have any ready. Regarding the table-hopping, the chef sometimes pops into the dining room, but at the beginning or end of the evening, not throughout the entire evening. Anyway, if that's okay with you...but you can't say she's in the kitchen. As for "being qualified in this area," I'm not required to be; I'm just a customer who, perhaps he should know, is always right...

Following a side road that seems to lead to a field, you arrive at the inn, a beautiful, welcoming wooden cabin where the specialty is meat. I must say that the menu is worthy of expectations: fillets, tagliata, ribs, and Florentine steaks. All things considered, Florentine steak aside, the flavor of the meats I tried (tagliata and fillet) didn't thrill me, and I wouldn't recommend them. Another sore point is the price... let's say above average for the location, service, and cover charge.

Serata latino americano cena più serata danzante 23 euro .Io non bevo vino e chiedo se mi portano una coca-cola ma il signore mi dice che la coca cola è a parte.Il menù della serata è scarso ho ancora fame dopo 4 patatine e due ossa di maiale..Dietro di me chiedono il bis e arrivano portate a gratis perché hanno ancora fame e conoscono il ragazzo.Io giustamente ordino una pizza oltre al menù e mi dicono che c'è da aspettate e aspetto 45 minuti .La pizza è bruciata fuori e cruda dentro e mentre taglio la pizza mi arriva una ragazza con lo scontrino e mi chiede di pagare . Mai visto nel mondo della ristorazione. Conclusione andremo a mangiare da un altra parte la prossima volta dove si mangia meglio e non ti impongono un menù povero a quel prezzo.Per mangiare due patatine 6 ossa di maiale e un po' di acqua naturale 23 euro.il dolce lasciamo perdere .Non consiglio per andare a mangiare mi spiace

cibo era buono, nulla da dire, ma avevamo una prenotazione per 4 alle ore 19 e ci hanno fatto entrare al ristorante alle 19:45. sinceramente una cosa inaccettabile. se la prenotazione fatta a quell’ora era un problema bastava solo dirlo invece di farci aspettare 45 minuti fuori continuando a dire “5 minuti e vi facciamo entrare”.

We were there last night for a friend's birthday.. there were 7 adults and 3 children (they spent 10 euros each)... we had an appetizer for 4 people to share for everyone and then a rib-eye each... everything was good (very fatty meat, good taste, but honestly I've eaten better).. the cake brought by the birthday boy and we portioned it, leaving it all directly on the table (the cake directly in the box, how sad).. we ordered some liqueurs and they brought us the bill as if to send us out of the box, a bill of 500 euros so a little more than 70 euros each! We paid and asked if they could offer us an liqueur each (6) we were told that they would offer 1 but not 6 because they would lose too much money otherwise.. shocked.. they had a 2-liter bottle of liquorice! They must have paid 10 euros if that's okay...shocked we leave and the lady even slams the door in our face...we'll never go back
