Since we would be driving through Piemonte on our way to Lago di Garda and needed a place to stay for the night, we picked up the B & B guide at the Piemonte info booth at Salone. Our choice was Casa Fonte Volpe in Castelletto D’Orba, a village nestled in low mountains with a stream running alongside the B & B.
It was still early in the afternoon and the restaurants were soon to close so we stopped at Ristorante Enoteca Il Moro in Capriata D’Orba for lunch. Sunday is family day in the restaurants and the main dining rooms were filled so they seated us in the Enoteca part.
We ordered local specialties: I Nostri Agnolotti, nei tre modi della tradizione, a culo nudo – nel Vino – al Tocco (House pasta, 3 ways: without sauce, with sauce and soaked in wine)
Guancino e polenta (Beef cheek sliced served with polenta). A lovely lunch!
We discovered that the B & B owners were dining at the same restaurant - we were introduced to them – what a coincidence!
The B & B was a charming reconstruction. Sandra had 3 books of before and after photos. The husband, a psychiatrist specializing in forensics, fixed us breakfast the next morning. We drove to Sirmione and Lago di Garda in a downpour.
