Ristorante A Viassa
A walk at Dolceacqua is always a wonderful experience, and the many tourists, who visit it every year, know it. This year on the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to Monet they will have one more reason to return. A recommended stop is at the restaurant ”A Viassa”, opened a few years ago by two young enterprising and passionate, Stefano and Aimone, who have conquered an enviable place in the gastronomic offer of Val Nervia. The cooking of the chef Aimone, assisted by Andrea and Crina, is based on local products, following their seasonality, and with the addition of a bit of imagination. In the appetizers, always present, among others, the brandacuiun (stoccafisso with oil, potatoes and parsley), the barbagiuiai (fried ravioli stuffed with rice and pumpkin), and the previ (rolls of savoy cabbage and sausage). Among the first courses, tagliatelle with clams, artichokes and bacon, gnocchi with calamari and cream of turnip tops, and pumpkin risotto, pistachios and brigasca sheep toma. To follow we mention the baked lamb with the beans of Pigna or the fish of the day with broccoli and carrots. Homemade desserts, all to taste, such as the ice cream of michette and Rossese reduction, the sacripantina cake and the chocolate and pear crumble, to mention just a few. Stefano and his stuff assure a courteous and professional service. Good wine list, with the best labels of the Ponente.
