For some years I had hesitation in reviewing "the restaurant of the court" because it located in the heart of the club attend for a lifetime. And Mariarosa is a friend, not just a cook. In any case I knew that I did, I should have said exactly what I thought: I must admit that they spoke well, everything is easier.
First of all, many still do not know that the Alba restaurant TC Alba is open to the public, is no longer the refreshment of the members. We can go to anyone. It is not easy to find for those unfamiliar places: from over the Langhe, Alba, exit south toward Diano d'Alba, on the road leading to the high hills of Montelupo, Serravalle Langhe, Bossolasco. About tre chilometri dal centro abitato, sulla sinistra, si scorge l'indicazione del tennis club.
Certo, il tutto è ricavato in una clubhouse tirata su nel 1978 e non progettata da Filippo Juvarra. Non è il Park Hyatt, ecco. Ma la saggia porta scorrevole evita la visione continua di tennisti fradici che transitano in cerca degli spogliatoi o ancora neri di rabbia per quel doppio fallo decisivo nel tie-break. Mariarosa, poi, ha messo mano alla stanza - per quanto possibile - per ingentilirla. Anni fa, questo locale aveva un problema: se c'era molta gente a mangiare si aspettava tanto. Ora non più. E soprattutto, qui, si mangia bene. Cucina orientata sul territoriale, delicate hand in seasoning the dishes, portions are more than satisfactory for sports hungry and starving simple. The last time he dined at five. Also the level of raw meat , skinny. There are good tajarin with a meat sauce rich but not heavy. With the second no joke: The Milan is very thin (and also of considerable size), the rabbit cut (polenta) is tasty and tender. very pleasant thread pepper. Good selection of cakes, very local : bunet and panna cotta will make themselves well. Not bad selection of wine at the last meal we sampled Dolcetto d'Alba Colombo Renato Ratti (passed with flying colors).
Price: € 6 raw meat and 50 other starters from 5 to 6 euro. The first: between 7 and 9 €. From 8.50 to 12 seconds. € 3 on the dessert. For those who eat everything (appetizer, first, second and sweet) you can still remain under thirty euro. That does not happen even in a pizzeria: there seems little thing?
