The Carignano Restaurant is located in Turin in the prestigious Grand Hotel Sitea , right in the centre, a few steps from the Egyptian Museum and Piazza Castello. Thanks to the winning combination of 2 chefs such as Fabrizio Tesse and Marco Miglioli, longtime collaborators, in 2019 the restaurant was awarded the Michelin Star. The interiors are those of a cozy room, with warm parquet floors, walls with light-colored boiserie decorated with modern works and a few tables, large and very well spaced. Ristorante Carignano belongs to that category of gastronomic hotel restaurants that finally in Italy have been freed from that patina of "aurea mediocritas" in which they had been enclosed for decades. Those who still think that in a hotel it is not possible to live memorable gastronomic experiences, will have to change their mind: the cuisine of Fabrizio Tesse and Marco Miglioli is exciting and stimulating. Thanks to a very well conceived menu, based on a strict selection of ...

The restaurant La Cloche 1967 is a very well known restaurant in Turin since 1967 when Nino Bello and his wife Rosa opened a small restaurant with about twenty seats, on the slopes of the hillside. The Cloche, whose name was suggested by his friend Armando Testa, soon turned out to be a winning bet, a reminder of the times, with the flavours of his native Monferrato, which was just a few minutes from the centre of the Piedmontese capital. Preceded by a corner with a collection of the most representative photographs of the history of La Cloche, with the countless famous people who have visited it, the main room has large windows overlooking the green hill, an impressive sloping wooden roof and walls in warm colors. La Cloche 1967 Restaurant, reopened in 2017 after a long closure, then held back by some turnover at the stoves, is now presented as an address of great suggestion, both for the beautiful location and for the valid proposal of cuisine. The very young Chef Alessandro Bon...

The San Giors of Turin, Hotel and Restaurant, is a real institution of the Piedmontese capital. The certain opening date is fixed to 1815 but some ancient documents mention it as an Inn since 1481. From 2013 the hotel restaurant San Giors is a member of the "Locali Storici d'Italia". From the entrance you can admire the rooms full of history that have preserved many of the original furnishings, starting with the old parquet floor. A polished piano stands out in the main dining room. At the San Giors restaurant we experienced an exciting journey into the most authentic Savoy tradition, in a simple but refined historical setting. Chef Paolo Ribotto has a happy hand in cooking the most famous Piedmontese dishes -Gran Bollito Misto and Bagna Cauda above all- with a careful research of the product and a great intelligence in preparing it, adapting it to today's taste without distorting it.

Cascina Lautier is located in a manor house of the '700 a short distance from Chieri. Situated in a spectacular panoramic position on the hill, it enjoys a breathtaking view open to the Alps. To reach it, take a long access road that climbs from the main road. The restaurant is divided into one large rectangular room, in which the fireplace, always lit during the winter season, and the beautiful majolica stoves stand out. The terracotta floors, the ceilings decorated with circular elements, the wide draperies and the well-spaced round tables characterize the furniture, completed by a red closet at the entrance. For the beauty of the location, the warmth of the welcome and an excellent cuisine that respects tradition without disdaining some hints of innovation, well calibrated and without excesses, Cascina Lautier is a very recommendable address.

Borgo Sant'Anna, situated in a splendid hilly position in Monforte d'Alba, is the ambitious and intriguing project thanks to which Chef Pasquale Laera and his trusted Maître Fabio Mirici have abandoned the Boscareto Resort to give life to their vision of catering, that of authentic country cuisine of the Langhe. The farmhouse, surrounded by vineyards, has undergone a radical renovation that, when fully operational, will also allow you to have some charming rooms. The interior of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, with wooden floors, wooden ceilings and many design details. The second dining room has its strong point in the magnificent open kitchen in black marble, which even overlooks it on two sides. Noteworthy is the point of color given by the original chairs with patchwork fabric seats. We have known and esteemed Pasquale Laera and his cuisine for years, it is logical that our expectations were very high: well, we can state with absolute conviction that they have b...
