Today we went to celebrate birthday name day and my brother and my nephew. We went to lunch at the "Favorita" farm we have already "visited" about 13 years ago and has become a legend in our family as well as the most abundant good local such never "tasted" before ... I begin by saying that now, for me, Emilian cured meats are among the most good in Italy and therefore go in Piacenza, home of a good cup (and beyond), it was like teasing me a great gift. La Favorita is a beautiful place in the hills of Piacenza, not far from Grazzano Visconti, with fantastic views across the surrounding farm. Today we found the snow (like 13 years ago '... incredible!) But the weather was delightful, hot at the right temperature (and after so much snow, we wanted to ...) so we could sit outside on the beautiful sun and soak up the sun. But let's get to the menu
Starter: bacon, pork, bacon, sausage, fried cake chissolino salted vegetables
Pastas: Crepes with ham and mushroom sauce, and beans pisarei (typical Emilia), and ricotta ravioli spinach, tagliatelle with mushrooms
Main courses: knuckle of pork or beef, roast guinea fowl, roast duck, beef rost-English, carpaccio
Borders: mixed vegetables, potatoes and polenta, skewered with peppers, tomatoes and Sweet fennel
: Tile nougat smothered in hot chocolate, assorted pastries, shorts with tiramisu. Coffee, Ammazzacaffè ....
The appetizer was really good and plentiful, with the first we did an encore of ravioli and pisarei and beans and then the attentive waiter offered us a taste of pancakes: one could ever refuse such great kindness?? Of course not! 4 and down for a pancake, just to accept ... At this point of the meal I could easily drink a caffettino staggering toward the exit and go in search of a breath of fresh air regenerator, but then the waiter listed the second ... and so we opted for a mixed platter of roast meat (beef, duck and guinea fowl): very good! the contours, I admit, are advanced: we were not more! ... but we had to maintain room for dessert, very mindful, previous experience, of what awaited us: a chunk of nougat parfait with adjoining hot pitcher ciaccolata payable to cascade over the cake ... is a truly sublime, to be missed! Needless to deny: for too many years waiting for the tile to give it up! The coffee is a consolation final, warm and strong and heat helps to digest your stomach. To this end, we have brought a bottle of limoncello liqueur and one another (I think the licorice, I have not tasted it ...) from which both frozen and you can drink at will. Throughout the "lunch" has never lacked water and red wine that the waiters have always done so zealous to bring faster, despite having many people from waiting tables (all occupied). I really have to say that, besides the abundant good food, rustic and charming together, courtesy and the lovely scenery really make me want to return. The board of the heart to stay with friends, make a good meal and spend a day out, only caveat: you must book well in advance ... at least 2 / 3 weeks before, as they have always been a huge row of booking! Go there at least once in their life, very fast, and ... enjoy!
