You pass through beautiful hilly scenery to get to Cartosio, where you’ll find this typical country house specialising in local cuisine. Although it’s been in business for several decades, during which nine different generations have been at the helm, the formula has (fortunately!) hardly changed, with a focus on Piedmontese dishes made from top-quality local and seasonal ingredients, with the main courses still cooked on the wood-fired stove. The wine list includes some excellent vertical labels, especially from the main wineries in the Langhe. Simple yet attractive guestrooms are also availa

With Fausto front of house, his wife Rosella at the helm in the kitchen and daughter Gaia who not only works in the dining room but is also responsible for the desserts, this restaurant celebrates Piedmontese cuisine on a menu that changes weekly in order to ensure that ingredients are fresh and seasonal. Meat takes centre stage, alongside excellent fresh pasta dishes (such as the famous agnolotti) and delicious desserts including fiordilatte ice-cream. The wine cellar is well stocked, thanks to the restaurant’s own production of Pinot Nero (dry and sparkling labels), while for anyone wanting

Perched in a panoramic setting amid extraordinary rolling hills, this restaurant is housed in a seventeenth-century former monastery transformed into the refined Relais San Maurizio, one of the region’s most exclusive venues. Andrea Alciati and Monica Magnini preserve and reimagine the legacy of Guido and Lidia Alciati, legendary figures in Piedmontese gastronomy. In the kitchen, Cuneo-born chef Fabio Sgrò carries on the family tradition with respect and passion, interpreting it through a modern lens: his revisited menu also features freshwater fish and a selection of off-menu specials that en

The Ricchebuono family has long been renowned for their excellent cuisine and warm welcome, and now that the couple’s two enthusiastic children have joined their parents at the restaurant, this is truer than ever. Father Giuseppe is the pivot here, a skilful and precise chef who creates elegant and minimalist cuisine from delicious local ingredients, such as fish from Noli which is listed on the menu in dialect (for example, “cicetta” is monkfish). His son and daughter work front of house alongside their mother, with Martina supervising the wine list (subdivided into three sections – Liguria;

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

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. What emerges from eve

In the Barbaresco hills, in a characteristic building dating back to 1931 that used to be a nursery school, the large dining room is the stage for a magnificent performance that unfolds over the hills through the glass walls. You can enjoy it even more if you take a few minutes between courses to step out onto the terrace and admire the view which, on clear days, stretches all the way to the Alps. The culinary creations of Maurilio Garola and Marco Lombardo take you on a journey of flavours with refined tasting menus and a rich à la carte menu featuring succulent meat dishes and fresh fish. Th
