If you do, a great choice is Locanda Borgo Vecchio, where you can savor typical Piedmontese dishes and also some other original options, with a limited menu but with plenty of options. In fact, there's always a dish off the menu that's seasonal and is usually highly recommended. In my case, it was mushrooms and the tagliatelle with black truffle.
It's advisable to leave room for traditional desserts with a little something extra, like the white chocolate mousse with red berries.
Also worth noting is that they produce wine and grappa, perfect, especially in summer, to be enjoyed on their magnificent terrace, from which you can see the area's vineyards.
A highly recommended place
16/08/2025: We visited this restaurant and had an overall very positive experience: the cuisine is meticulous, the dishes are well-prepared, and the bill was absolutely reasonable. The atmosphere is also pleasant and contributes to a pleasant evening.
My only complaint concerns the reservation management: when I called, I specifically requested a table with a panoramic view, specifically one by the window, because we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday. I was assured that all the tables had a beautiful view, so I trusted them. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the tables with a view were already taken, and we were assigned a table further away, from which we couldn't enjoy the sunset, which would have been truly special on such an occasion. I reported this when I received the bill, but was told that my request hadn't been noted.
A shame, because with a little more attention to this detail, the evening would have been perfect. Despite this, it's still a restaurant I recommend for the quality of the food, the location, and the good value.
