With a couple of degustation options available we settled on the one with matched wines.

As usual, there's a great selection of bread - these were still warm from the oven, with the focaccia being exceptionally delicious.
We actually begin with an amuse

today it was slivers of tongue with the bagnet verd sauce. Incredibly tender tongue but the sauce was stunning - so vibrant, the taste of parsley so refreshing
First course:

Vitello Tonnato
Wine: Gavi DOCG 20120 Minaia
The veal was so soft you could eat it with a spoon, lovely piquancy to the tonnato sauce
Second Course:

Tajarin all'uovo con funghi porcini (Tajarin with Porcini)
Wine: Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2010
The pasta is made daily in house and this was just perfect - egg rich pasta perfectly cooked with a fantastic simple porcini sauce.
Third Course:

Piccione disossato al tartufo nero con purè di patate (boned pigeon with black truffle and mashed potatoes)
Wine: Cascina Baricchi Pinot Nero Brigante di Fuga 2006
Theres a secret inside that poned pigeon - it's been stuffed with prosciutto and more black truffles. So beautifully cooked, tender and juicy, the sauce rich and the potatoes silky smooth. An utterly heavenly dish.
Fourth Course:

Aspic di pesche e la sua salsa al Moscato d'Asti (Peaches in Moscato d'Asti Jelly & Peach sauce)
A perfect end - it's light and refreshing, the peaches ripe and juicy.
We are both quite impressed with this meal - everything was cooked to perfection, the quality was high and the price, an utter bargain. We'll definitely we be returning.
