Food of which you can be sure that the ingredients haven’t made a trip around the world. What is it that makes Piedmont so irresistible? Why do the flavours in a down-to-earth “locanda” remain so vivid in our memories? To find answers, we set out on a quest to the Osteria dei Binelli near Dogliani in the province of Cuneo. * Words and photos: Charis Stank

There is no place in the world where such excellent (and numerous) Hazelnuts could grow, except for the Langhe. The world of the Nocciole can be explored nowhere else in an as authentic and well-tasting way as at the Cascina Barroero, in Cortemilia. Words and Photos by Jürgen Schmücking*

CallRestaurants Osteria da Gemma
Osteria da Gemma welcomes guests into a space that feels like a cozy living room and offers an authentic local experience. The restaurant doesn't have a menu; instead, Chef Gemma Boeri and her team serve dishes family-style, based on their daily inspiration. This approach to dining embodies the essence of community, where friends gather and make pasta together. This is why Secchi loves Piedmont's dedication to fresh pasta, which is heavier on egg yolks than in other regions of the country. The popularity of this restaurant means that it is often busy, so making a reservation is highly recommended. But, the food is worth the wait and the drive up the mountain to get there.
