GARIBALDI
Founded in 1885 by Ortolani di Crescentino, a former soldier in Garibaldi’s army, who came to Cisterna after the Expedition of the Thousand, the Restaurant Garibaldi was managed from this family until the ’40s, when Giacomo Vaudano purchased it and Enrico Vaudano succeeded. Nowadays the restaurant manager is Bartolomeo Vaudano supported by his children Chiara and Francesco, her wife Mariangela and Luca and Elisabetta. The restaurant stands out for the continuous research of the ancient local receipts. Moreover for some years, the restaurant has been producing the famous “Mostarda d’uva di Cisterna d’Asti” -pickled fruit of Cisterna d’Asti grapes. The restaurant is very welcoming, featured by smart little dining rooms where the ancient furniture of the previous business has been kept. The outstanding characteristic of the restaurant is its great hospitality, thanks to the kindness and cordiality of the family Vaudano who welcomes and entertains his guests.
