Eight dishes, eight cheeses, three wines, one espresso... this is what I ate for dinner last night...
Pomodorini ciliegia marinati al pesto di basilico con Burratina e crudo della Valle Vigezzo croccante. Two thumbs up.
Cannolo di pasta brick con Ricotta Vaccina al fumo di ginepro e pomodoro confit su mosaico di verdure e salmone affumicato.
Two BIG thumbs up. We loved these.

Tortelloni di pasta di semola con patate Ratte e Raschera su crema leggera di porri e Topinambur.Two thumbs up -- with some reservations.
Risotto Carnaroli “Acquerello” , tenuta Colombara mantecato al Blu del Monviso.Two thumbs up.

Okay. This is embarrassing. There should be a photo of Bocconcini di faraona alle erbe porchettati su crema di Pecorino di Pienza semistagionato here. But, um, we devoured them immediately when they arrived, forgetting to take a photo.
Obviously, two BIG thumbs up.

Biancomangiare al Castelmagno con miele di castagno e pere.Two thumbs down. The flavor simply didn't work on this layered dish of pears and cheese.

And that was the Serata a Degustazione, “ I formaggi Italiani ,” at Ristorante Marconi, Via Pellanda n° 21, Crodo. We also attended a cooking lesson at this wonderful restaurant; more on that some other time.
