Cascina Rosengana in Cocconato

Cascina Rosengana is a lovingly restored farm that has been converted into a restaurant and B&B. The food is locally grown and organic and all of a very high quality. Our waiter was Massimo and I suspect one of the owners. He spoke English well and was warm and welcoming. The dishes were presented without fuss or pretention and the whole experience was a delight.
The full menu with all the dishes listed below, grappa and coffee was €24 per person.
Antipasti:
Salami crudo & cotto. (No picture)
Crispy parmesan cannolli filled with a goat’s cheese mousse.










Spinach quiche with cheese.









Carpaccio with a creamy gorgonzola sauce.
FYI: Carne Cruda Monferrina means ground or chopped raw meat (like tartar) and Carne Cruda “Albese” means slices raw meat (like carpaccio).










Primi:
Agnolotti plin with sage and butter. 









Tajarin with ground veal sauce.










Secondi:
Vitello con salsa nocciola.









Roasted Guinea hen with its sauce.









Fried potatoes and spinach was served with the meats.










Dolce:Bavarian cream with moscato raisins.
Hazelnut torte with a thick cream sauce.
Chocolate torte with a thick cream sauce.










Our grappas and coffee were included in the price of the meal.
