If you are not already familiar with the dish, Vitello Tonnato is an Italian classic. It is a cold dish made with veal that is cooked and then served with a sauce made from tuna, anchovies, mayonnaise, and capers. The dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures: the tender meat and the creamy sauce are offset by the salty capers and anchovies, for a dish that is both rich and refreshing.
And at Agriturismo Il Cortile, this dish is the star of the show. Chef Borghese, a well-respected figure in Italian cuisine, recently gave the restaurant his stamp of approval. He deemed it the best place to enjoy Vitello Tonnato in the Langhe region. And he was not alone in his praise: other food experts have also sung the restaurant’s praises.
So, what makes Agriturismo Il Cortile so special? For one thing, the restaurant takes its ingredients seriously. Much of the produce and meat used in the dishes comes from the surrounding area, keeping the food fresh and flavorful. And the kitchen team is skilled in preparing these ingredients to bring out their best qualities.
But there is also something special about the restaurant’s atmosphere. Agriturismo Il Cortile is not just a restaurant, but also a bed and breakfast, set in a beautiful location surrounded by vineyards and hazelnut trees. This means that diners can truly immerse themselves in the region’s food and culture, enjoying not just a meal, but a whole experience.
Of course, it’s not just the Vitello Tonnato that is worth trying at Agriturismo Il Cortile. The restaurant offers a range of other classic Italian dishes, all made with care and attention to detail. There is also an extensive wine list, featuring many local wines from the Langhe and Roero regions.
