L'Erbi In Villar perosa

01/06/2026: 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. Reasonable bill. Rating: 8 Dinner on April 30, 2026 Additional review. After trying the orecchiette again, always tasty and well-seasoned but this time pleasantly al dente, and having had positive feedback on the other orders, I'm revising my rating. Rating: 8.5

24/05/2026: If I could give it four and a half stars, the restaurant is very charming with its light-and-dark atmosphere. The typical Piedmontese menu is delicious and varied, offering a gastronomic tour of local cuisine, showcasing the quality of the ingredients used. The prices are quite reasonable, and the service is also very kind and friendly. I would only slightly increase the portions in some cases.
