Our roots are all about the flavors and colors of typical Piedmont cuisine. Let us recommend the best restaurants / osterie / bistros in the capital of the Langhe.
Piedmont’s culinary tradition, known to many but with much still to be discovered, never ceases to amaze. This is why our area offers a variety of proposals, ranging from menus that stick to the “how it used to be” method to genuine reinventions of age-old tastes. Tonno di coniglio (“rabbit tuna”) can be served in a thousand different ways, and therein lies the beauty!
