Castagnole Monferrato
DA GEPPE
Golosaria named it trattoria of the year in 2013. You are in Castagnole Monferrato, a magnificent village that is also home to the curious Ruchè wine, ennobled thirty years ago by the parish priest Don Giacomo Cauda. The …
Portacomaro
DA SILVIO
This pizzeria is considered one of the best. The most popular pizza seems to be the house pizza (with porcini and truffle), but the novelty is of course the Papa Francesco pizza.
Rocchetta Tanaro
DA TASCHET
The square in Rocchetta Tanaro has been the scene, quite literally, of many joyful events. Bruno Lauzi called what used to happen here "that strange Brazil." And it still happens, as the owner of this family-run establishment …

Isola d'Asti
Il Cascinalenuovo
This restaurant, crowned by the Ferretto family's history, is an institution. Now that the highway connecting Asti to Alba is open, it's more secluded than before, and its location feels even more like an oasis. There's …
