Fungo Reale - Valloriate (CN)

True to the philosophy of looking not only at the blazon of the establishments but at the quality of their cuisine, here we are in an "old-fashioned" village restaurant, with the vast dining room set up for large numbers on feast days: a no-frills place, but dear to gourmets.
Fungo Reale, which is also an Inn, represents a well-known and appreciated establishment in the Stura Valley and the Cuneo area, nestled in a beautiful landscape characterized by chestnut forests where fine mushrooms are found in abundance.
The exteriors are simple and neat, enhanced by a well-kept lawn garden, which can be well used during warm weather.
The entrance is common to the hotel, with a large bar area. The large rectangular dining room is classic and bright, with the many tables neatly arranged.
A complete, modern chef in a traditional village restaurant: this is the perfectly successful combination at Fungo Reale, in which the target audience and location do not seem to penalize the chef in the slightest, while the cuisine, on the other hand, brings a definite edge to the restaurant.
With each of our visits, we become more and more convinced of how Manuel Odestri richly deserves Convivium's Award for Excellence, for the love, enthusiasm and passion he infuses into his work and conveys with his presence.
He is a young and inquisitive chef, extremely motivated, who visits the most prestigious among his colleagues during vacation periods, often proposing himself for internships of the highest caliber: and the results are showing!
We like his cooking: solid, without flights of fancy or presumption, aided by ingredients of magnificent quality such as local mushrooms, but above all supported by technique and enhanced by a commendable desire to rediscover the most authentic recipes of local tradition.
