Il cardo e l'ortica Largo Dell'amicizia Reviews
I discovered this place thanks to a friend: I have to say it was a very pleasant surprise. A welcoming place that makes you feel at home. A great selection of wines. The tasting menu is recommended, although we ordered individual dishes. The agnolotti were good, although the pasta was a bit tough (perhaps because I'm not used to eggless pasta). The discovery was the homemade tempeh. I've never particularly liked it, but I'd heard it was good here. And I must say, I found it delicious (of course, the frying trick helps). I was disappointed not to try the desserts, but I was full. The wine (I don't remember what we ordered) was also very good. It was also nice to chat with the staff at the counter (the owners, perhaps). I'll definitely be back! I often see that they're open by reservation, so if in doubt, call to avoid wasted trips. 2 place settings €4, water €2, bottle of red wine €18, 2 first courses €28 + 2 second courses €15 + 2 coffees €2 = TOTAL €84 Absolutely in line with other restaurants, and more than fair for the experience offered.
We can't count the number of times we've come here, alone or with friends. It's a place where you can eat excellently whatever you choose from the menu, and you're served well with courtesy, kindness, and a friendly atmosphere. Thanks to Chef Nadia and all the staff.
A well-kept and welcoming venue. Sublime food, attention to every detail. Unique creations with authentic flavor. Excellent wine list. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Congratulations!!
Even though I'm not vegan, I still had a great time at this place. The ingredients are top-quality and the dishes are meticulously researched. They made a delicious birthday cake for my uncle, who is vegan. I'll definitely be back, especially since they regularly host very interesting themed evenings!
Yesterday I came here for lunch, brought by my grandchildren, Laura and Massimo, who have lived in Villanova Mondovì for several years. I was blown away by the delicious food I chose, all of which were attractive and of the highest quality. The ingredients are vegan, grown in the owners' garden. The entire menu embodies the concept of healthy, vibrant cuisine, cooked with love and yet focused on delighting the palate, with original and creative pairings. While it goes far beyond the great Piedmontese tradition, it is somehow present in the structure of the menu, built on the classic sequence of appetizers, first courses, second courses, and dessert. The atmosphere is appropriately rustic, yet spacious and quiet, encouraging conversation, one of the true pleasures of dining. Over time, I'm sure the exterior will also improve, a modest square serving as a large parking lot next to the appropriate brick church. The spirit of Gozzano hovers and breathes in the words of the talented chef, reserved yet open to sharing her deeply desired personal and professional journey. Thank you, we'll be back as soon as we can.
Exceptional. I know many vegan places, this one is among the best, and it's excellent value for money. The waiters and owner are very kind, they recommend excellent wines, and the cook is excellent. The desserts are also super good. And even the side vegetables aren't just extras...I recommend it! ...an important detail? Every table has a fan in these incredibly hot days, if that's not a thoughtful touch... Plus, there's ample free parking in front of the restaurant... Truly: Exceptional!
Great vegan restaurant in location you wouldn't expect to find one. Delicious food, many excellent wines to choose from, very friendly staff and dog friendly (also indoors).
Fabulous experience. The atmosphere was quiet, warm, and welcoming, the staff were very friendly, dogs were welcome, and the food was amazing. The pad thai was excellent, as were the rest of the dishes, but I was truly moved by the dessert—one of the best desserts I've ever eaten, original and delicious. It's best to call ahead to let them know you'll arrive; they explained to us that they generally operate by reservation for the best possible organization.
I took my vegan partner for Christmas dinner on the 24th. The place was beautiful and well-kept, and I must admit the food was truly spectacular. I could have asked for seconds of the appetizers and main course. I highly recommend it, the staff was very professional and friendly. We had a great time ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My second time visiting this beautiful place from the UK. Great, tasty traditional food and a fantastic wine pairing menu. I’m vegan, my Italian partner and mother are not but they very much enjoyed the menu. We went for the tasting menu, couldn’t recommend it enough! Excellent service too! The front of house team were fantastic!! Thanks for another great lunch ✨✨✨✨✨
Highly recommended. We chose the tasting menu for €29 per person, which included four appetizers, one first course, one second course, and a dessert. Everything was delicious, and best of all, we left feeling more than full. The service was courteous and prompt. I'll definitely be back!
Fabulous place, we were even lucky enough to be alone for the evening. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent, the quality of the ingredients was great, and the vegetarian options were truly delicious. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back. And as I said, I went back and they amazed me again with divine dishes. The staff was always very helpful. Excellent. Thank you, and well done. After trying to call several times, we finally managed to get a table and return. Always positive. The menu is extensive, tasty, and perfect. Fantastic.
We discovered Cardo e l'Otica thanks to a friend who often recommended it—what can I say? Always a sure thing! Whether it's the weekly menu (constantly evolving with seasonal products and consistently delicious dishes) or the themed evenings (fritto misto, sandwiches, burgers, pizza...), you can be sure you'll be pampered and eat wonderfully! Now, on special occasions, it's the first place we think of; we've always had a great time! Special service, truly a treat, complementing a plant-based cuisine that even omnivores will love. Thank you guys for the wonderful evenings you gave us!
Pretty nice
What a nice surprise. I've been coming to Cuneo for several years now, and for the last 4 years I've been vegan, finding this place has been amazing. A very nice location. We dined outdoors. The staff was kind and efficient. And the food was really good! It's a shame I didn't take any pictures, but the food was too good to be goofing around taking pictures. The courses were simple yet colourful and really tasty. A creative millefoglie, a strong funghi lasagna, a delicate quiche, a very creative farinata, a fritto misto mmmm no words, and to close an amazingly good panna cotta! I would surely return. In fact, it will become a fixed destination when I'm in Cuneo. Ahh i was forgetting ... strictly vegan!
A very good vegan restaurant I recommend a lot. Nobody should miss out on it !
We had the opportunity to try Cardo e l'Ortica for lunch on a Sunday. The restaurant is a short distance from Mondovì, in San Biagio, near the village church. Parking isn't a major issue, as there's plenty of space in front. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, practical, and functional. Given that we're vegetarians, we were completely satisfied with the food we enjoyed during lunch, with carefully prepared dishes and beautiful presentation. The wine list was also excellent. We had no problem getting in with our two well-behaved Golden Retrievers, and everyone was extremely courteous and helpful. I highly recommend trying the restaurant to anyone who hasn't already done so; we'll be back as soon as we can.
Cercavo un ristorante per il compleanno di mia figlia che è vegetariana, ma in provincia non è così facile. Qui abbiamo trovato cibi gustosi (per tutti i palati) e una particolare attenzione alla sta…
Non c'ero mai stata: il locale molto carino, tenuto bene e pulito, il personale gentile e disponibile, il cibo mi è piaciuto, è sicuramente diverso dai soliti ristoranti ma da tornarci / consigliare!
Locale elegante, ma prezzi troppo alti rispetto alla qualità dei prodotti (non bio). Porzioni decisamente ridotte..
I was invited to dinner here, and I'm already a veggie fan. If you come to eat here, you should know that it's a strictly vegan restaurant, with no alternatives. The place is charming, and the staff is very kind, helpful, and knows how to recommend. The food is home-made, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Some dishes are only available if you choose the tasting menu, which limits your options. I really enjoyed the Pad Thai! Delicious desserts!!!
