Ristorante Andrea Larossa - Torino

The Andrea Larossa restaurant, which moved to Turin in 2022 after years of success and recognition in Alba, enjoys a highly evocative location at the foot of the Turin hill. There are two entrances. The one from the private car park with direct access from Piazza Merano, a must and a real gem in the city, will take you directly to the dining room after you have parked your car. The interiors of the restaurant impress with the airiness and elegance of the spaces. The rooms of a former bowling alley have been renovated with great taste, giving life to a spectacular structure which is divided into a large dining room blazing with light overlooked by a second raised room with an open kitchen like a balcony, where some privileged tables are hosted from which to follow the movements of the Chef and his Brigade.

Antinè - Barbaresco (CN)











Antinè is located in the center of Barbaresco, an excellence of Italian viticulture, right next to the headquarters of Cantine Gaja.

The restaurant, owned by Chef Manuel Bouchard, is now an attractive "gastronomic bistro" of regional cuisine.


The wide staircase with stone slab steps leads you to the restaurant room on the second floor, past a dramatic lamp-sculpture.

The setting is minimalist: gray tile floors, clear walls with no pictures, designer hanging lamps, and a few well-spaced tables.


A stop at Antinè is always worth a special trip thanks to a cuisine that fully repays expectations.

Manuel Bouchard's hand is, yes, hooked on tradition, but it is at the same time modern, thanks to research conducted without exasperations of technique or leaps toward the avant-garde: you will find there a few notes of the Orient, clean, precise and distinguishable flavors, well-thought-out textures and cooking, and a few "divertissements," all accompanied by an uncommon sense of aesthetics.

The aim is to keep the flavors crisp, clean and clearly distinguishable from each other.

You will happen to recognize some quotations derived from the Chef's magnificent educational background, particularly the Waldensian and Occitan ones.

The clean, precise flavors and impeccable pairings belong on a top scale.

One drinks very well, thanks to a cellar that boasts more than 800 labels very well managed by Monica Moschetti.
