Solo Mio private home restaurant

All of us, or almost all of us, have this movie scene in our minds: candlelight, a set table, exquisite dishes, a fireplace and two lovers looking at each other while the quiet and atmosphere frame their stories. Solo Mio is exactly this: a cinematic experience like those in the films with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. Old fashioned, but never dated. In fact, the opposite. My wife and I had the pleasure of dining and sleeping in this bucolic jewel where time seems to have stopped. Emanuela - owner and chef - made us feel at home right away and guided us through the dishes in an experience that truly seemed Solo Nostra. In fact, everything was very delicate, intimate, romantic in the best possible sense of this adjective. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try a different experience. And, what is really not to be taken for granted, it was very pleasant to chat with the owner, a truly polite and kind-hearted person. Not to mention Pietro - her son with whom we had the pleasure of chatting and who is a very kind and well-mannered child - and Gilda, a very sweet dog who discreetly comes to greet customers. As I said, Solo Mio seems like a movie. Or even a good story. Thank you, Emanuela! We will definitely come back to visit you, and you who read this review should do the same!

A very special, exciting, and interesting evening. The food was spectacular, everything was delicious! Not to mention Emanuela, the extremely kind, professional, and welcoming hostess, cook, waitress, and entertainer. Highly recommended!

A wonderful experience at Emanuela's house. The menu was carefully prepared and well thought out. I'll do it again! I also stayed in the guest house, which was super convenient for a night after dinner. :)

A fantastic experience, a wonderful and extremely friendly hostess. The food was delicious. All our needs were catered for!

A great experience for a unique and intimate evening. Emanuela is the perfect hostess, unobtrusive, and immediately puts you at ease, ensuring you enjoy the evening to the fullest. Excellent cuisine. Highly recommended.

For our anniversary, I wanted to treat my boyfriend to an evening a little different than usual. What can I say? I contacted Emanuela just two days before, and despite the short notice, she organized a fabulous dinner! "Solo mio" is a magical place, "only yours," it doesn't even look good in the photos. It's not easy to surprise him, but I managed it! The dishes were all super delicious and unique. We'll definitely be back! Thanks again, Emanuela, for the evening you gave us!

Having discovered it thanks to the nearby restaurant "La Vigna del Maestro," we decided to contact Emanuela for an intimate dinner with my wife and the kids. We spoke to discuss the menu (typical Piedmontese) with an appetizer and a first course, and arranged a date for Friday evening. Upon arriving at Emanuela's, we were welcomed into a very intimate and well-appointed setting (besides the table, there was also a lovely sitting area) with pleasant background music. We chatted briefly, and she helped us choose a wine from her cellar (obviously, a large selection of Piedmontese wines, but there were also some gems from outside the region). We then began with a welcome dish of chili peppers stuffed with tuna. Then came the appetizer of Piedmontese Fassona beef tartare (very high quality), bell peppers with bagna cauda cream, and a salad of celery, walnuts, and robiola di Langa (so good!). Then came the main course: tajarin with ragù. The best I've ever eaten! And I assure you, I've been around Piedmont quite a bit. The winning element is definitely the aromas from Emanuela's garden. My compliments, truly. Finally, for dessert, an excellent panna cotta with Piedmont hazelnuts. Nothing flashy or sophisticated, but delicious is an understatement. The only flaw is that it's too far from our house; otherwise, we'd go there often. But the most valuable element is certainly Emanuela's empathy and expertise, who even held our crying 4-month-old baby for a moment so my wife could eat the tajarin.

A cozy private kitchen with regional food and attentive service by Emanuela!

An evening with three couples of friends, at a tastefully set round table, a dinner with a menu that was a feast for the palate, the food excellent, the atmosphere combined with the beauty of the place created a mix of relaxation and conviviality... Emanuela is a superb hostess, an excellent and attentive cook, and you can taste all of this in her dishes because she truly delivers what she loves... what can I say... we'll definitely be back... we had a truly wonderful time, and when you feel almost at home and indulged in a delicious meal, it's the best! 🔝 Thank you

Excellent cuisine, a unique menu with attention to detail and the use of raw ingredients. The wine list is also excellent. The owner is friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. An intimate, meticulously maintained location, ideal for a romantic dinner. Highly recommended.

My partner and I stayed here for a weekend, and it was exceptional! Emanuela has created a little corner of paradise, something unique and different from the norm. We have every respect for her! ♥️ We had a wonderful time from start to finish: from the welcome, to dinner, and breakfast the next day... it was like feeling at home! With the "WEEKEND JUST YOURS" package, we also had the opportunity to visit the village of Bene Vagienna and learn about its history, thanks to the assistance of a wonderful guide just for us. A place we'll return to, and highly recommended. ♥️

Immersed in a wonderful garden, beautiful venue with attention to every detail, splendid welcome and excellent food! I can't wait to return!
