Convivium

The Fàula restaurant is located in the Langhe hills inside the prestigious Relais Casa di Langa, of which lemilleUnanotte publishes a rich reportage. Its name, which in local dialect means "tale", was chosen in homage to the centuries-old tradition of the region which wants families and friends to spend time together sharing stories. The restaurant overlooks an entire glass wall onto the large terrace from which to enjoy the splendid panorama of the Langa hills, with Serralunga d'Alba in the foreground. You can access it directly by lift from the Reception floor, first encountering the room with the bar counter, and, in front of this, the air-conditioned cellar, which can in turn host small convivial meetings. The Fàula Restaurant impressed us in an extremely positive way. Chef Daniel Zeilinga has crystal-clear talent and a world-class hand: with each course the impression of being in front of a star of the first magnitude was strengthened in us. All...

Guido Ristorante, the historic and prestigious jewel of the Alciati family, who have owned it for generations, is located in the splendid Villa Reale of Tenuta Fontanafredda, a nature reserve in Serralunga d'Alba, majestically nestled among the hills of the Langhe.

The Locanda del Pilone is housed in a perfectly restored old Piedmontese farmhouse that preserves its historic features intact. The complex is owned by Cantina Boroli, producer of great Langa reds. The atmosphere is that of a noble country house. The restaurant's rooms consist of two small dining rooms with characteristic brick vaulted ceilings, checked tile floors and a few well-spaced tables. Large windows, positioned on both sides, overlook the garden and surrounding vineyards. Locanda del Pilone has for years represented a gastronomic stage of great personality and solid reputation established over the years. It was one of the first Langa kitchens to open up to oriental influences, but without ever distorting its distinct identity linked to Piedmontese tradition. Chef Federico Gallo, endowed with very clear ideas and high school technique, impresses us with every visit, exceeding our expectations each time higher. The line of cuisine has evolved over time, ...
