Convivium

The Vigin Mudest, Alba's first serving license, was a family-run eatery where people would gather over a good dish and glass to comment on the exploits of the Elastic Ball. By taking over its management, chef Flavio Scaiola has given back to the city an establishment with a great culinary tradition. The dining room located on the ground floor is informal, with a bistro-like feel. L'Inedito Vigin Mudest is an excellent historic restaurant of traditional cuisine, which the guidance of chef Flavio Scaiola, an old acquaintance of ours from the days of the Old Three Stars in Barbaresco, has enriched with content. There you will find the great classics of Langa cuisine, all prepared with the use of raw materials of absolute quality and in full respect of tradition, but also a few fish dishes made with a sure hand. The undisputed technique of the chef represents a real guarantee! Do you want to post your comment? Make yourself the Critic on the Blog! Post your comment:

Raiz, meaning Roots, is a new small quality Churrascaria recently opened in Canelli by an enterprising and motivated couple, he Brazilian she Piedmontese, a real bet, in our opinion a winning one, in the provincial town that is the capital of Moscato d'Asti. The restaurant is small and well-maintained, air-conditioned and furnished with taste and personality. Prominent among the furnishings are a few bottles on display, introducing a consideration of the Cellar curated by Elena, which is striking for the magnificent selection work illustrated by a beautiful Wine List with photographic images of the bottles of each label. In the kitchen, Chef Bruno Ribeiro de Moraes is in charge of the Churrasco. At Raiz you experience authentic ethnic cuisine. The selected meats are of the highest quality, the preparations and cooking well-executed, and the Cantina focused on real treats. Do you want to post your comment?

La Limonaia, Chef Cesare Grandi's gastronomic address in Turin, is based in a quiet, decentralized area in the courtyard of a modern apartment building. The Restaurant dining room looks like a large veranda furnished with an original mix of tastefully assorted objects and furnishings. At the entrance, there is even no shortage of a stone well and a polished grand piano. From Art Nouveau to Deco... The walls with the prints, the sideboards and bookcases, the skeletonized ceilings, the tables of various shapes and sizes (notable are those with showcase tops) served by chairs of different styles, the LED Poldina table lamps, the wrought-iron details-everything is well juxtaposed and contributes to a composite, pleasant and charming atmosphere. Cesare Grandi's ethical, cerebral, cultured and exciting cuisine, certainly capable of intriguing and astonishing, plays with great balance on the thoughtful combinations, by contrast or affinity, of flavors, textures and temperatures,...

La Betulla Restaurant is located on the hilly highway linking Trana and Giaveno, near Lake Avigliana, a few kilometers from Turin. The large main dining room houses large round tables that are well separated from each other and tastefully set. The ambiance is "1970s," with light wood floors, light-colored walls alternating with salmon-colored portions, and large full-wall mirrors. The two side bow windows stand out. La Betulla is an establishment we are particularly fond of: with each of our visits we experiment with some exciting new recipe, and we feel we can recommend it to those seeking superior cuisine offered at very attractive prices. Franco Giacomino is a cooking enthusiast before being a very good chef, selector of the most reliable suppliers and discoverer of authentic goodies. Do you want to post your comment?

Villa Pattono Restaurant is the gourmet space of the charming Relais of the same name created by the Ratti family (excellent Barolista) located in Costigliole d'Asti on the hill in front of the Castle. The two classical and elegant dining rooms, frescoed and decorated with oriental carpets and rich draperies, overlook the garden with century-old trees through large windows. Villa Pattono impressed us with its quality, classic and gourmet gastronomic proposal, appropriate to the location to which it belongs, that of a small Charming Hotel in the countryside. Alongside the inevitable Langhe proposals (battuta di fassona and plin above all), you will find fish dishes of excellent workmanship. The excellence of the cuisine is accompanied by a great wine cellar in which Ratti's house labels stand out. Do you want to post your comment? Make yourself the Critic on the Blog!

Chalet Euthalia has a very special location, a luxury chalet nestled in a peaceful corner just over 1,000 meters above sea level, a true tribute to this land so beloved by Chef Gian Michele Galliano. The resort reopens with a new name after years of closure that did not tarnish the critical and public reputation it had built. The real surprise is experienced once you cross the threshold of the entrance, greeted by an environment furnished in late 19th century style with clear French influences (the fashion brought by Napoleon III) and references to the Kingdom of Savoy, which coexist harmoniously with elements of Italian design of greater renown and relevance. Gian Michele Galliano's cuisine possesses a distinct personality and is characterized by a skillful use of herbs and vegetables to balance his dishes, in which primary flavors are always enhanced. To remove rather than to add is the philosophy of the chef, who in this way plays with the combination of a few ingredients ...
