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.

Deep in the Apennines, at the heart of a tiny village, you’ll find a cozy osteria run with passion by a young couple. The cuisine draws on Ligurian and Piedmontese traditions, honoring seasonality with both land and sea dishes: from fragrant fried anchovies with basil-lime mayonnaise to house-made ravioli filled with sea bream alla ligure. Lunch features a simple daily menu, but on request, an à la carte service is available by reservation.

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

The magnificent biodynamic La Raia farm, an enchanting 180-hectare oasis between Novi Ligure and Gavi, is home to a contemporary art foundation, the Rossi Cairo family winery, a Steiner school for employees’ children, guest accommodation, and this restaurant which benefits from a fertile ecosystem that provides much of its zero-mile produce. The cuisine is rooted in local traditions which have been reinterpreted in contemporary style. In the evening (and at lunchtime at weekends), choose between an à la carte, a tasting menu inspired by wines from the property’s estates between Gavi and Langhe

Villa Sparina is an elegant rural resort named after its winery. The Orangerie hosts guests, whereas fine dining unfolds at La Gallina restaurant: amid rustic and elegant settings, contemporary cuisine is presented, drawing ample inspiration from Piedmont, as well as nearby Liguria (the dessert "Good Morning Genoa" playfully mimics breakfast with cappuccino and focaccia), though Campania references, the chef's homeland, never falter. Personalised wine selection: exclusively Champagne, abundant Piedmont choices, with particular emphasis on Barbaresco and Barolo.
