Located in the rolling hills of Berzano di San Pietro, Da Conrado is a sanctuary for authentic Piedmontese culinary traditions. The menu is a chef-philosophy emphasis on handmade precision, most notably in the fritto misto alla piemontese. This complex dish features a variety of meats and sweets, including a rare fried zabaione that offers a warm, custardy interior encased in a light, golden crust. The vitello tonnato is equally technical, featuring thinly sliced, tender veal blanketed in a silken, tuna-infused emulsion. Fresh pasta is a cornerstone here; the agnolotti del plin are meticulously pinched and served in a rich roast meat reduction. Aromas of braised beef and local Barbera wine fill the rustic dining room. Texture is paramount, from the crunch of the fritto misto to the delicate bite of house-made gnocchi with Castelmagno cheese. It is a rigorous expression of regional heritage.
