Modern Piedmontese cuisine with legendary pickled peppers
"There’s a timeless feel to this restaurant, which serves some of the best Piedmontese cuisine in the region and is run by a highly competent and welcoming family. Heading the team here are Elide in the kitchen, and husband Enrico and talented son Giampiero front of house (the latter a real wine connoisseur who looks after the ever-expanding wine cellar), all of whom continue to maintain the high standards set by Giampiero’s grandparents when they opened this restaurant back in 1956. With skill and dedication, they serve traditional cuisine that is full of substance and flavour, which you could happily eat every day without ever getting bored, including the restaurant’s legendary peppers in a sweet and sour sauce, “agnolotti del plin” and finanziera stew. On certain days in winter, the restaurant offers a delicious Piedmontese “fritto misto” made up of 12 courses of sweet and savoury dishes (it’s essential to book well in advance). Accommodation is available in the elegant Dimora Cordero just a stone’s throw from the restaurant." - Michelin Inspector
"Under chef Elide Mollo, the menu at this century-old restaurant puts modern touches on time-honored Piedmontese cuisine. Secchi’s favorite dish is the red bell pepper, cut in half and done sottaceto—pickled in a vinegar-based mixture (so secret that only Mollo knows the recipe) for at least four months—and served with anchovies and olive oil. “It embodies Italian food,” Secchi says." - ByStefano Secchi
