Cannavacciuolo Le Cattedrali Asti

★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Mediterranean Cuisine

Situated in the hills outside Asti, this modern inn with guestrooms is nestled in around 18 hectares of woodland and meadows. The interior decor here is contemporary and minimalist, while the cuisine is overseen by the famous three-Michelin-star chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo, with resident chef Gianluca Renzi, who has already earned his spurs at other top-quality restaurants, at the helm in the kitchen. Originally from Rome (his focaccia is excellent!) and having trained professionally in various locations, Renzi creates cuisine that combines personal imaginative touches with regional influence

Ca' Vittoria

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine, Contemporary

In the heart of a postcard-perfect village, the Musso family has welcomed guests for generations with the characteristic seriousness and professionalism of the Savoy tradition. Most importantly, they offer truly interesting cuisine. While grandmother Gemma and mother Sandra kept regional tradition at the heart of their dishes, today Massimiliano channels his passion for the Orient – where he has worked and loves to travel – into a modern, almost fusion approach. Expect amberjack, cleaned in Japanese style and grilled on a yakitori, served alongside a creative take on the family‑garden zucchini

Located in Tigliole, Ca' Vittoria specializes in modern contemporary cuisine. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of food, highlighting creative dishes like 'Essence of Tomato' and exceptional handmade breads.

Il Cavallo Scosso

€€Contemporary, Seafood

A young and modern restaurant situated in a residential area about 2km from the centre, where owner-chef Enrico Pivieri offers a menu that is equally divided between traditional meat-based dishes from Piedmont (some, such as the plin pasta, are very traditional in style while others have a more reinterpreted feel) and more creative fish-based options. The chef gives full rein to his creativity in dishes such as the Mediterranean fish ceviche with avocado, passion fruit gel and sea-urchin mayonnaise.

Madama Vigna

€Piedmontese, Farm to table

This restuarant has a good wine list with a focus on local labels, as well as an excellent selection of regional specialities on the menu. Dishes include agnolotti (a type of stuffed pasta) with fondue, Piedmontese beef, Villanova chicken and the inevitable bunet dessert.

Madama Vigna in Baldichieri specializes in traditional Piedmontese farm-to-table cuisine. Reviews highlight high-quality, authentic dishes, particularly the Tonnato and mushroom pasta, served in an intimate, welcoming atmosphere with professional service. However, value is a mixed point; some guests found the bill disproportionate to the portion size or quality, especially when menus were missing, leading to unexpected costs. While many praise the food and hospitality, others reported bland appetizers or dissatisfaction with the lack of pricing transparency. It offers genuine regional flavors but requires careful ordering.

Suitable for diners seeking authentic Piedmontese flavors who can adapt to a non-fixed menu experience.

€€€Piedmontese, Modern Cuisine

Having been under the watchful eye of chef Walter Ferretto for decades, Il Cascinalenuovo serves classic, seasonal cuisine which celebrates local traditions in a glorious array of Piedmontese dishes, such as the region’s famous plin (filled pasta) served in a napkin or with a roast meat sauce, tongue millefeuille and pigeon. The menu also includes more contemporary-style recipes such as the “artichoke and artichoke” dish or the lightly fried catch of the day, while the extensive and carefully curated wine list focuses largely on Piedmont. In fine weather, book a table in the attractive outdoor

Il Cascinalenuovo in Antignano specializes in modern Piedmontese cuisine. Reviews highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients, particularly handmade pasta and desserts, paired with local wines. Service is generally praised as professional and welcoming, though issues arise with group bookings and dietary restrictions, including reports of rude staff behavior.
