Some time ago I had lunch with my girlfriend and a couple of friends and their very nice children at the Marenda Sinoira, a restaurant located in the hilly area of Settimo Vittone, one of the few restaurants not too far from my house that specializes in gluten-free cooking.

Its name derives from the Piedmontese dialect, the marenda sinoira is a typical Piedmontese tradition, the word "sinoira" derives from "sina", which has the meaning of dinner in the Piedmontese dialect, this tradition is placed between the hours of the afternoon snack and that of dinner.

We went "against tradition", we booked for 12:30 and we stayed at the table until about 4.30pm. We ate an appetizer each and then we all opted for the excellent polenta with local cheeses and mountain herbs, a dish that has satisfied almost everyone and has not allowed us to eat other food.

All accompanied by excellent wine, about this, the restaurant was equipped with a well-stocked cellar of any type of wine from all the Italian regions.

Here are some shots I took during our visit to the winery and the outside restaurant.
