Bib Gourmand€€Piedmontese, Traditional Cuisine
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

Bib Gourmand€€Contemporary, Regional Cuisine
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.

Access is via the inner courtyard of an elegant period building, where, on sunny days, the outdoor tables buzz with conversation and delicious smells. Upstairs, there is a large, bright dining room flanked by two cosy side rooms that are perfect for conversing. In the main room, a climate-controlled wooden display case catches the eye: inside are precious bottles, from the intense reds of Langa and Roero to wines that tell stories from every corner of the world. The menu is a journey through the flavours of Piedmont: dishes that exude tradition, such as “Gobbi di Nizza Monferrato” (cardoons dr
