• Osteria La TorreBib 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 exte648m

• Osteria La PimpinellaBib Situated in the historic centre but near a square with a car park, this modern inn serves Piedmontese cuisine which is contemporary in style yet still firmly anchored in local traditions. The generously portioned, well-presented dishes on the menu include vitello tonnato (excellent – we tried it!), tajarin pasta, Bra sausage and casseroles (the soft suckling pig cheek was delicious), all of which are as much a feast for the eyes as for the palate. The restaurant is run by an enthusiastic couple, aided by proficient and courteous staff with a feminine touch.5.6km

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.

Within the rustic spaces of the former royal stables, a cuisine takes shape that showcases a selection of top-tier meats, cooked strictly over charcoal. Center stage is Piedmontese scottona (young heifer offered in various aging stages) alongside cuts of Chianina and Alpina beef, the result of careful sourcing and expert preparation designed to highlight texture and flavor.5.0km
