In a disused factory the District of Taste of Brianza is born – Italian Cuisine

An abandoned textile production becomes a gastronomic attraction. It is the story of the former Formenti factory in Carate Brianza and of the newborn District of Taste

In Piazza Risorgimento, a Carate Brianza, in the industrial buildings of theformer Formenti factory, once occupied by the production of weaving machines, over the years various activities have spontaneously established themselves which have given new life to these characteristic spaces, all activities – in one case – from food. From this randomness, last June, a reasoned project of collaboration and sharing was developed, the Taste District.

Craftsmen of taste

Overcoming the existing gates of the former factory they meet beforeOsteria il Bardo, then roasting Caffè del Borgo, then the Bar Brig and the Menaresta craft brewery. A little further on is another craft brewery, Gaia Beer, the production of chocolate and fruit juices of Marco Colzani, the hamburgeria Mystic Burger, finally the didactic pastry The Good of In-Presa and the educational restaurant Saporinmente of the Don Carlo Gnocchi Hotel Institute.

District and synergies

With the Taste District, the will of these activities is to create a point of reference and aggregation where to organize activities and events, as well as to activate one exchange of synergies between producers and restaurateurs. This is how the Gaia brewery started producing a special beer designed and created by Don Gnocchi's students; that the Saporinmente restaurant has begun to serve its guests the coffee produced by the Caffè del Borgo roasting plant; that the desserts of the Il Buono di In-Presa educational pastry are accompanied by Marco Colzani's juices; while Mystic Burger hamburgers can be tasted with Menaresta beer. And this is only the beginning!

Best veal with tuna sauce

Where to eat it
Trattoria alle Lavagne, Corso Agnelli 56B
A very small restaurant, so small that if you want to have dinner here, the advice is to book. Tasty and comforting trattoria kitchen, classic recipes and some with a nice creative touch prepared with quality products. The vitello tonnato is excellent, a tasty and soft walker, accompanied by its traditional sauce, the tonnata. If you want to give yourself a gift, order it with the Russian salad. Both are delicious.

Of Turin's gastronomy, Gallo gastronomy has always proved to live up to its customers' expectations: a selection of the best products of the Italian territory, from cheeses to cured meats, to the best wineries, with more than 1000 labels selected by Fabio Gallo (president of AIS Piemonte). And among the products to put in the wicker shopping basket there are various dishes selected from the vast range of Gallo gastronomy, including veal with tuna sauce. We recommend a taste of anchovies in green, sautéed in Milanese and chicken galantine, perfect proposals for a summer version of the Merino Sinoira.

The agnolotti di Peinetti are prepared with roast veal, pork and lightly spiced with nutmeg. Usually served with roast sauce or butter and sage.

Gianduiotto

Fabrizio Racca, Via San Marino 95
We are not just talking about gianduiotti, but a real enchanted world, that of Fabrizio Racca and his sweet magic.
Fabrizio Racca has chosen the Santa Rita neighborhood instead of the city center, but his clientele arrives here, in Via San Marino, in the heart of Santa Rita from all over Turin and beyond. Unique are its desserts Monoporions or those with Bicchiere, the same cost, Euro 4.50 each to taste one of his sweet creations. In the single portions Il Diamantino three chocolates, meringue with red fruits (delicious and light) or Hazelnut, Gianduia and almond brittle. Tiramisù, peach, cocoa and amaretto biscuits in a glass. The game of the glass is really interesting, you buy the sweet, the glass can be brought back to the pastry shop, where it will be reused for other sweets (and discounted) or you can use it at home.
All the desserts of Fabrizio Racca can be ordered on the Fabrizio Racca website and the day after the order will be collected at the Via San Marino 95 store. Payment directly in the store. Highly recommended tasting!

Ice cream

Coffee and Pasticciotto Leccese

The Marotto remains one of our favorites, the fabulous Gianduiotto Gelato, without dairy products, 100% Langa flavor with hazelnuts from Alta Langa Azienda Agricola. And then Mara de Bois, the famous Mara dei Boschi, which gave its name to the ice cream shop, but also orange and chocolate and the Absolute Pistachio.
