Finding a Restaurant in a HOUSE in RURAL ITALY!

This is VLOG 16 of my series “No Hype Local Food Finds” where I discover a restaurant in a beautiful house in the Italian countryside. It’s so hidden we couldn’t find it and it was one of the most memorable meals of my life.

New VLOG in this series out every Monday 4pm.

Spots in this video:
📍 Home Restaurant Cascina Casa Mia, Asti. This is how you book Monica’s restaurant:

  1. Above and beyond for this one, what an amazing experience, that lady can cook. A beautiful place, such a nice and welcoming lady. I reckon you should have a travel/cookery show 🤩 bargain

  2. What great value you lucky sausage . You wont forget that in a hurry , btw loved the Bernese Mountain dogs as we used to have them too .

  3. Wouldn’t go all the way there for a plate of ravioli and thinly sliced beef – nice surround but no restaurant vibe more a visit to your auntie’s hours

  4. She seemed lovely. Worth visiting her just for a cuppa. That looked special.

  5. Robbie – great experiencing this very unique and special meal and meeting the amazing Monica – her simple way of producing the most beautiful food is captivating. Thanks the both of you – what a channel ❤

  6. International Man of Mystery Robbie!!!! Congratulations !!!! Do you have special App for language translation ? or just Google Translate?

  7. What an amazing place and certainly a place that we at home would never have found in a million years……your channel is fantastic….enjoy the Italian weather and the experience. Thank you Robbie

  8. Wow, – that must have been a fantastic experience, – to visit such a place with beautiful nature, rich history, – and a delicious Italian food! Lucky you!

  9. OMG, she is absolutely such an amazing lady talented cook and human being❤ I would love to have been there to meet her and experience it all with you well done hands down to you both such an amazing video thank-you 🙏🙏🙏❤️

  10. Well that was good, very very good. Loved this vlog and pretty unique too. That dish you had is most often done with veal and it’s called Vitello Tonnato. A classic dish from the Piedmont region. I hope we get to see more vlogs from Italy. This was very special ❤

  11. Omg Robbie. I don’t know how old this video is. It could even be a new one but special is an under statement! What a lovely lady, house, gardens and meal. I’m with you on the sandwich 😂. I’d say the beef and tuna in a fresh soft bap would be bangin. Honestly, Iv watched so many from the start. Greeno, just Deano, the bald foodie guy, the gorgeous Hannah and of course Gary the best of them all. He’s the reason why I’m here. The point I’m making is that you have gone from zero to hero in budget time! Mark my words Robbie, you are going to take over as the NO1 food vloger soon and your subscribers are going to go through the roof. You heard it here first kid.

  12. What a great experience!! It maybe be paying 85 but it’s an experience, what a great lady and beautiful scenery with all the happy animals and beautiful nature.
    Monica , please adopt me!!!!😅

  13. Brilliant you've gone to Italy. I've eaten in some of the best restaurants in London, best was an Italian run place in Leicester sq. Best I've ever been too without a shadow of a doubt was in middle Italy in a small cittedella. The owners are from Milano abd family run. So great you're there. Edit: Don't downplay the ambience good or bad, if it enhances the experience then that is what you pay for. I'd be the same with a cat. Love she sits next to you, the joy you both feel is how eating should be, this is why I love the Mediterranean as these people enjoy eating with people they love, daily. It is something we don't have and one reason I'm moving there soon.

  14. Eh up Robbie. Greetings from a yorkshire Lad living in Northern Thailand 🇹🇭
    Wow Monica's house is beautifull and an animal lover ❤
    Fillet Beef with Tuna !!!!!! Wow never heard of that
    Yeah stunning house and Garden
    All the food looked delicious
    . The chef a talented passionate lady. . Great Blog mate. Onwards and upwards. Keep up the good work

  15. What a truly unique experience!….to have the confidence to serve simple yet incredible ingredients….a main of just meat and sauce!! Not overwhelmed by potatoes or veg…. definitely something to remember….😊 Thank you for taking us with you….x

  16. Oh wow, what a spot Robbie. The gardens were absolutely pristine. If I was anywhere near that place I don't think I'd ever get any work done and would be about 5 stone heavier 😂

  17. Stunning! – Monica is a true cook and a fantastic host – what delightful character! – Beautiful house /gardens and very happy cats & dogs – thank you Robbie. 🤗🤗😎😎

  18. Great work, really enjoying watching you find these amazing places. If you spread your wings far enough to get to Oz it would be an amazing experience for you to visit Perth. Keep it up Cobba👏👏👏

  19. Actually, agritourism spots are pretty common in Italy, though sometimes they’re more “commercial” and formal. But you can still find authentic farmhouses like this one, where you can enjoy home-style, rustic meals—basically right in someone’s backyard.
    BTW, in Italy, the rule of thumb is that the more remote and hard-to-find a restaurant is, the better the food will be.

  20. Thank you Robbie for sharing this wonderful meal with us and for Monica for inviting you and all of your viewers into her beautiful home. It's true that no restaurant experience can match home cooking on this level when it is prepared with love. Piemonte is a fantastic region full of wonderful food and some of Italy's finest wines, like Barolo. The annual white truffle fair in Alba, not too far from Asti, is also a great place to visit during late autumn to try the Alba white truffle. Best wishes to you Robbie and also Monica for this wonderful experience.
