La Crota Piemunteisa – Cosy and good value

Image by Audrey Smith

This is a good basic place to get a good serve of hearty food to warm your stomach in these chilly temperatures! What’s more it’s cosy and welcoming place, “Crota” is actually Piedmont dialect for “cave”.

The menu changes regularly but it is guaranteed to have hearty favorites from the Piedmont region, generally varying according to the season. Some examples: ravioli cooked with butter and sage, sausages and potatoes, risotto, polenta, roast meats and stews. Yes, the menu isn’t that light but usually there is a pasta with broccoli or something green that should satisfy the stomach looking for something a little lighter!

The prices are great and the portions are generous. Fine dining it ain’t but with a group of friends and the wine flowing you should enjoy the cosy atmosphere and the friendly staff. It’s close to lots of bars so you kick on after dinner. I haven’t tried it for lunch but I hear it’s good for a basic pasta to keep your energy going!
