RESTAURANTS

Recommended restaurants in the Barolo region

All things considered, you can't go wrong when it comes to food in Piedmont, birthplace of the SlowFood movement. It is not without reason that you find yourself in gastronomic heaven on earth when in Piedmont. The fact that you also have the choice of the most beautiful wines in the world makes the experience in many cases unforgettable.

Even though you can eat just as good (or even better) in a small, remote Osteria for a fraction of the price than in a 3-star restaurant in the center of Alba, we have chosen to make a subdivision for the sake of clarity. based on price.

We have eaten in all mentioned restaurants (several times) and have so far made the following selection:
