L'Osteria del Vignaiolo In La morra

The restaurant doesn't have private parking, but you can find space in a lot across the street and is located in a hamlet outside the town of La Morra. I can't comment on the wine list as I didn't choose the bottle myself. The menu is well-stocked with typical local dishes and offers six different appetizers, first courses, and second courses. The desserts are a bit more extensive, always accompanied by a glass of Moscato d'Asti. In my case, I opted for a meat salad appetizer with porcini mushrooms in oil. It was a good portion, with very tender and flavorful minced meat. Salt, pepper, and oil were also brought along for a truly satisfying dressing. The extra virgin olive oil, in particular, had an excellent flavor, not at all overpowering, even though I added some to the dish. The first course was a trio of potato gnocchi filled with fondue and sprinkled with black truffle. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my personal taste. I couldn't taste the truffle, and the same goes for the fondue filling, which I found to be too light compared to the gnocchi dough, making the latter, for my taste, too heavy, and weighing down the dish. A delicious treat are the small pastries, biscuits, cake, baci, hazelnuts, nougat, and mandarins, unfortunately cold from the refrigerator, which are served with the coffee. The presentation of the dishes, in detail, could be a little more thoughtful. The staff was always present in the dining room and very courteous to meet my every need. The €3 cover charge is more than compensated by the various types of homemade bread, which are replenished as soon as they run out, and by the change of cutlery between courses, a nice touch. The price of the meal is in line with the type of cuisine and the attention to detail.

I visited for lunch with a local sommelier. It's located on a hill in the village of La Morra, surrounded by vineyards, and is full as soon as it opens, so I'm sure it's a popular restaurant. The wine, appetizers, pasta, carne cruda, and bittero tonnato were all delicious. The service at the restaurant was great.

Excellent experience, exquisite dishes, good value, very nice and welcoming place, extremely friendly service. Must try. I'll remember the octopus with burrata sauce and olives and the delicious Tarte Tatin for dessert.

An experience I've been repeating every year since Covid for some truffle dishes.

Halfway between refined and homey. A refined atmosphere and well-prepared dishes. Fast service, excellent truffles, and an extensive wine list.

A charming place in La Morra. Welcoming and always helpful staff, very fast service despite a fully booked restaurant. Excellent Piedmontese cuisine and delicious, beautifully presented dishes.

Everything excellent. Book now.

It's now a given; whenever we visit the Langhe, it's our base. Clean rooms with everything you need, including a refrigerator in the hallway with free water and soft drinks, and a generous breakfast of both sweet and savory options. The highlight, however, is the restaurant, where the food is divine at a fair price. Dishes are meticulously crafted, both in taste and appearance, and the service is always prompt and attentive. Plus, the exceptional wine list will satisfy even the most discerning sommelier. Don't hesitate; if you're in the area, head to the winemaker's osteria. After a wonderful dinner and a fine wine, you can avoid driving by going upstairs to rest in their rooms.

What an experience! 😍 We were a group of friends and had a wonderful evening. The food was outstanding, the wines excellent, and the service exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We especially appreciated being able to customize our tasting menu – there was something for everyone. A truly perfect evening.

Den bästa matupplevelsen nära La Morra! Vi åt råbiff till förrätt, gnocchi & tortellinin till huvudrätt. Tortellinin var en av de absolut bästa pastorna vi smakat. Avslutade med sorbet och glass. Sorben var gudomlig. Otroligt trevlig personal och service minded. Rekommenderar starkt!
