5 must-go restaurants in Piedmont
Osteria da Gemma – Roddino

Booking at Osteria da Gemma is a challenge, but it’s undoubtedly worth it. With a fixed menu at €34 excluding wine, Gemma describes itself as a “homemaker,” offering an authentic gastronomic experience with typical Piedmontese dishes like vitello tonnato, plin, and bunet. The focus is on the soul of local cuisine rather than its highest expression.
Typical dishes include carne cruda all’albese, vitello tonnato, and insalata russa. Tajarin and Gemma’s Bunet are definitely must-tries.

Passionately managed by the Bertolini-Beggione family, Locanda in Cannubi is located in the heart of the homonymous vineyard, offering breathtaking views of the great vineyards of Barolo. The panorama from the veranda is reason enough to visit this unique place.
Not to be missed are the castelmagno risotto, topinambur and chestnut, Tajarin 40 yolks with langorlo ragù, and braised veal cheek in Barolo. The inn is renowned for its sophisticated cuisine and privileged location.
