Hotel Ristorante Furnasa In Usseglio

19/03/2026: This was my first time eating Piedmontese food, and what can I say? I think I've found my new favorite region. The owner and staff were incredibly kind!

18/03/2026: Dinner on March 6, 2026 This restaurant enjoys a wonderful location in the historic, semi-central Vanchiglia neighborhood, where time seems to have stood still: the large wooden balcony, brick vaults, unevenly plastered walls, dark wood tables, and low paneling evoke memories of old-fashioned style and tradition. The menu, not overly extensive, is a tribute to Piedmont and its signature dishes (with the exception of the decidedly foreign orecchiette alla Gaia). Our choices included two mixed appetizers, generous and pleasant; a plate of orecchiette topped with Castelmagno fondue, well-seasoned but not quite al dente; an ossobuco with artichokes, good but less flavorful than expected; and an excellent baked shank with potatoes. The wine list (all Piedmontese) is appropriate for the type of restaurant and reasonably priced, from which we chose a good Barbera di Cocito Dario. Very courteous and punctual service. Adequate bill. Rating: 8
