Grotto Cavicc

This special little gem is hidden behind big trees and a long road that doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. But alas! It is hidden so only the lucky awesome people can eat here.
We ate like kings and queens and really really famous fat people. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was superb. We sat under the trees in beautiful big wooden picnic table benches.
As an appetizer we had a large selection of meats on a big wooden slate. To top it off were lovely fluffy shavings of something white! I later found out that it was fat… yes folks, shaved fat. But whatever, so is butter, and it tasted good. That also came with pickled onions and pickles… yum!
Next came the main courses. Everyone got a side of polenta, which is what they’re famous for. Personally, I wasn’t a HUGE fan because it wasn’t soooo flavorful, but that’s ok. It’s basically corn that’s been grinded with spices and other things over and over for a long time in a barrel. If I remember correctly.
I ordered the beef cheek and it actually melted in my mouth, for serious. It came with a side of mushrooms that were almost as good as the meat. They had a wonderful taste to them. The lamb sausage was full of flavor, and the desserts… OH MY GOSH.
Best panna cotta I’ve ever eaten. It was so creamy and sweet and shoot it was good. The texture was actually silky. Grandma’s pie (torta della nonna) was really REALLY good too. Almost like a lemon bar but less lemony and a little more creamy. The chocolate and tiramisu were both terrific as well.
I loved that they served their wine in small bowls with red and blue stripes (symbolizing their canton).
Everything was wonderful and delicious. After dinner we were given a tour of the restaurant and the cellar. they have so much wine!
It was a really great experience. I’d definitely come back here!
