Locanda 4 Cuochi

One of the newer arrivals in town, Locanda 4 Cuochi (Via Alberto Mario, 12; locanda4cuochi.it) opened just over a year ago and has become a trendsetter for its innovative cuisine and contemporary look. A line of seats at the bar peek into the open kitchen where the four chefs (cuochi) work, but even in the stylish dining room there is plenty of opportunity to engage with them: they help the servers and suggest wine pairings. The menu includes a delicious fiolaro broccoli salad with a beaten egg and briny anchovies, and polenta ravioli stuffed with spinach and snail ragù.

Eccellente modello di trattoria contemporanea, è un locale agile e dall'ambiente gradevole , la cui cucina è moderna e allo stesso tempo semplice, dal forte richiamo nazionale: “mozzarella” and “carrozza”, petto d’anatra arrostito con spinaci e uva, coscia in umido con purè, la millefoglie di Giancarlo Perbellini, fondatore e socio del locale. I piatti sono buoni e ottimamente presentati, con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
