Villa Vinory Bricco di Nizza

At this family restaurant, the daughter is now at the helm in the kitchen, having taken over from her grandmother a few years ago, while her parents oversee the dining room where the rather old-fashioned 1960s decor is brightened by their attentive service. The menu continues to focus on traditional Piedmontese dishes (especially from Monferrato) cooked in a simple, almost homely style, including specialities such as veal with a tuna sauce (usually known as vitello tonnato), agnolotti monferrini (a type of ravioli), tajarin with porcini mushrooms, finanziera stew, and torroncino parfait. The w

The tradition of the Monferrato region has been told for generations through simple local cuisine. Indeed, there is an inviting list on the menu in which none of the great classics are missing: peppers with bagna cauda, vitello tonnato, tagliolini with Cervere leek sauce, stewed tripe, braised veal stew with Barbera d'Asti, the sweet "mattone monferrino" and so on. Straightforward flavours to pair easily with an endless wine list for true fans of Langhe, Asti, all of Italy and France. All "seasoned" with proper customer care and pleasant outdoor service for the warm weather. Basically, the res

This long-established restaurant in the Asti region has been open for over 70 years and is still renowned for its regional cuisine served in a classic-style dining room. Dishes include cardoons with Raschera cheese fondue, the famous agnolottini del plin (a type of ravioli), and the Piedmontese bunet which is part of a trio of desserts that includes hazelnut tart and zabaglione with Canelli muscat wine.

Since 1869, five generations have reinterpreted Piedmontese tradition through a modern lens. In an elegant, intimate setting, the restaurant serves dishes that fuse history and innovation – don’t miss the potato-and-hazelnut gnocchi with robiola cream. In the warmer months, reserve a table on the panoramic terrace: the view of the town hall and the hills of Castelnuovo Belbo is pure poetry.

Occupying a late-19C palazzo, in what was a historic wine cellar right up to the late 1960s, this family-run restaurant serves carefully presented, regional cuisine with a lightly creative and contemporary twist. A good example is the “carne cruda alla monferrina” (a kind of beef tartare) served with a Parmesan cream and hazelnuts.

Situated in a beautiful location in the Asti countryside overlooking rolling hills and the estate’s own vineyards, Ca' del Profeta lies just a few kilometres from the provincial capital. A modern dining room and panoramic terrace provide the backdrop for decidedly innovative Piedmontese cuisine, which is inspired by traditional recipes and seasonal ingredients and then transformed by the chef into personalised dishes. Ingredients from further afield, such as root vegetables (black salsify, celeriac and beetroot) also make an appearance in three creative recipes inspired by the Orient. The serv

The Relais Le Marne occupies the top floor of this building in a verdant setting overlooking the estate’s vineyards, while the ground floor is home to the restaurant. In the latter, a late-19C, brick-vaulted ceiling combines with clean lines and designer-style furniture to create a warm and attractive ambience. The cuisine is regional in flavour and finished with a light modern touch – there’s also a vegetarian tasting menu option. The excellent wine list includes the Mura Mura wines produced on the estate itself.
