Sugo's In Sauze d'oulx

08/11/2025: Entering Alfredo's Piola is like opening a door back in time: just a few steps and you find yourself in a true 1960s Piola, where the aroma of good wine mingles with the cheerful chatter of diners and the authentic flavors of Piedmontese cuisine of yesteryear. The owners welcome you with a sincere courtesy that's rare these days: a genuine smile, a kind word, and the immediate feeling of being guests rather than customers. The portions are generous, full of flavor and substance, just as you'd expect from a restaurant that honors tradition. The appetizers are a journey through time: each bite tells a piece of history, with robust and familiar flavors that bring back memories of Sunday lunches of yesteryear. A small selection of these would be enough to leave full and satisfied—but it would be a shame not to continue with the delicious and comforting first courses, and the second courses, capable of delighting even the most discerning palates. The prices are fair, perfectly in line with the quality and quantity served. In an age where everything moves so quickly, La Piola di Alfredo offers a break filled with authentic flavors, simplicity, and a warm welcome. A small corner of the past that tastefully endures in the heart of Turin.
