Restaurants around Cuneo

Now that the rival pizzeria 'Papa Gennaro' has closed, in my perspective there is no doubt: to me this is the best pizza in town. After the summer 2007 review, I came back a couple of times in the last two weeks (12 and then 20 december) and I confirm in toto my previous understanding. Fast service, decent accommodation, and not-excessive pricing (about 8 to 12 euros per person, depending on the drinks). But, especia... (read more)

The ambient of this pizzeria/neapolitan restaurant is quite kitsch, with heavy decorations and plenty of charged colours. Everything is self-referential, from the self-proclaimed 'master of pizzas' pizzaiolo to the pictures of Tramonti, the city from which (according to the information given at the counter) pizza was born and then exported in the world (and, of course, from which I suspect the owner comes from). In b... (read more)

Margellina is a hundred percent ordinary pizzeria in an ordinary environment, with an ordinary (electric) oven. Nothing seems worthy of particular praising, and nothing memorable remains to be mentioned. The décor has something slighlty retro (it looks like we are still in the late '70s, but from an ordinary perspective and definitely little good taste) and this means a love at first sight to me. The very ordinary pi... (read more)

I have been testing this pizzeria consistently throughout the years, and I have *always been fully satisfied*. This is how an excellent pizzeria should look like, including clean restroom, appropriate environment (including the acquarium), outisde and inside seating, polite non-intrusive waiters, cute barman, limited waiting time, and especially the *outstanding pizzas with genuine ingredients, wondeful taste, big si...

More than a pizzeria, this is a *Pizza Stand* where you can either pick up your Margherita, or whatever kind pizza you want, or eat a slice on the spot. A couple of mainstream huge fresh pizzas are always ready (and waiting) behind the counter, and all you have to do is either to choose a slice or to order your special own which, in this case, is immediately prepared for you and in front of you. The quality is OK, al... (read more)

Bella Napoli has a quite remarkable tradition in the area, and it also features a broad series of regular aficionados that make it a crowded spot. But... Maybe because we tested it during the traditionally overcrowded season (at the end of the school year), or maybe because we were not lucky, the experience was not as excellent as one wishes to be. First, despite the reservation the table was not immediately availabl... (read more)

In the last 20+ years, Tramonti has provided Cuneo Pizza eaters with a consistent product: a standard pizza in a standard traditional pizzeria environment. Their pizza is soft, quite juicy, and extremely soft in the center for my standards. The outside crust is not significant, not cruchy either. It is not a matter of quality, but of personal choice (crusty or not crusty is a long standing debate, and you can find su... (read more)
