It was 1961 when Lidia and Guido Alciati opened their restaurant, giving life to a revolution that would forever change the face of Italian gastronomy. With dedication and sacrifice, they marked an epochal turning point: they were among the first to understand the value of the territory, passionately seeking out small niches of gastronomic excellence. Lidia, at the stove, enhanced these products with cooking that was immediate and respectful of the raw materials, while Guido oversaw exceptional service and an extraordinary cellar. Today their legacy lives on and is renewed in the sumptuous hal

This young yet already established Piedmontese chef, of part-Calabrian heritage, offers a creative and personal cuisine deeply anchored in its raw materials, particularly vegetables, the majority of which are sourced from his own kitchen gardens and greenhouses, managed according to biodynamic principles.Three tasting menus are available, from which individual dishes may also be chosen à la carte: De Rerum, comprising ten courses, presents the most complete and current expression of the chef’s vision; MAD 100% Natura places the plant world at the very centre, with animal protein in a discreet

A new chapter for the Camia family, historic interpreters of haute cuisine in the Langhe. Chef Massimo, together with his daughter Elisabetta, starts anew in a refined location among vineyards and hills, where a renovated rustic building becomes inn and restaurant. Here, Langhe tradition dresses in contemporary elegance; dishes that tell the story of the territory with character, such as risotto with local snails and Roero asparagus, while in the dining room his sommelier son will know how to recommend the right pairing from an almost encyclopedic choice of wines available in the cellar.

Nestled among the vineyards of the Réva resort less than 4km from the delightful village of Monforte d'Alba, you’ll find the FRE restaurant run by chef Francesco Marchese, who offers a perfect combination of sophisticated French techniques and fine ingredients from the Langhe with refined simplicity. For all their sophistication, the dishes are always full of rich flavours – the ravioli del plin with crispy sweetbreads, onion cooked in milk and dehydrated beer yeast is a perfect example. There’s a superb wine list with labels also available by the glass, while more informal fare is served at t

Nestled among the vineyards and overlooking the gentle hills of the Langhe, this restaurant helmed by chef Pasquale Laera presents a cuisine of distinct identity, where Apulian roots dialog with Piedmontese terroir in a personal, measured balance. In the tasting menus and à la carte offerings, seafood, seasonal vegetables, and select meats coexist, always treated with precise technique and keen gustatory sensitivity.

To get to this welcoming restaurant, it’s best to leave the car in one of the convenient car parks just outside the town walls a short walk from Cherasco’s quiet, picturesque historic centre with its two perpendicular streets. At Osteria La Torre, the friendly female staff will happily guide you through the menu, which features traditional dishes prepared in contemporary style – we particularly enjoyed the egg, cardoon and fondue dish, followed by breaded veal rump as our main course. If you’re a fan of snails, you really must try them here as Cherasco is renowned for this speciality. The exte
