The now famous red door ushers you into this temple of Italian cuisine. Once you cross the threshold, stairs lead up to the first floor, where pink walls and a fresco by Francesco Clemente welcome you, as do the friendly front-of-house staff. From here on, the focus is on chef Enrico Crippa's very personal cuisine, presented in three tasting menus (a fourth, shorter menu is available at lunchtime only): one linked closely to the vegetable gardens and the seasons, another intimately connected to the local area, and the last taking you on a journey through Italy and beyond.

This historic restaurant, a jewel of Piedmont and with few equals in Europe, dates back to the 18th century. The Risorgimento room retains its 19th-century charm, enhanced by meticulous restoration. The creaking of the original parquet accompanies footsteps in a place that is also part of Italy's history: Cavour once sat here, with a view of Palazzo Carignano, the first Parliament of the unified nation. Behind it, the Pistoletto room offers a simpler, more informal atmosphere. The cuisine celebrates tradition with classic Piedmontese dishes – from vitello tonnato to agnolotti del Plin – but it
