Ristorante La Gallina

An unforgettable culinary experience – this Michelin-starred restaurant truly exceeded all my expectations. From the impeccable quality of the produce to the creativity behind each flavor combination, every dish was a masterpiece. The attention to detail was absolutely exquisite, making every course feel both refined and memorable. A special thank you to Massimo, who was incredibly attentive and ensured that every detail of our dining experience was perfect. His thoughtful service made the evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting this magical place – it’s not just a meal, but an extraordinary experience worth savoring!

Delicious, culinary art! The presentation started with a taste of various local artisan breads and cheeses. Every dish was a masterpiece, the appetizers left us wanting more. The food was accompanied with aromatic white wine 🍷 from their local collection. Service was excellent.

I have been to La Gallina twice, 8 years apart, and each experience has been amazing. The food, the service and the incredible location all add to some of the best meals I’ve had in Italy here at La Gallina.

La Gallina – A Culinary Gem Nestled in the Hills of Gavi. I had tried — and failed — to get a table at La Gallina on several previous visits to the area, and now I understand why. If you’re planning to go, be sure to book well in advance. Located within the stunning Villa Sparina boutique hotel, and surrounded by the rolling green hills and vineyards of Gavi, La Gallina is a true hidden gem that lives up to every bit of its reputation. From the elegant decor and serene setting to the exceptionally attentive service, this was a top-tier fine dining experience from the very first bite. We were lucky enough to dine here two nights in a row, giving us the chance to sample a wider variety of dishes. And honestly? Every plate was a highlight. Let’s start with the bread — because yes, it’s that memorable. Upon being seated, we were greeted with a generous selection of house-made breads, still-warm focaccia, crispy crostini, and delicate flavored butters, served alongside a creamy fresh cheese and a mini pot of savory meat ragù. It was indulgent enough to be a course of its own — and that was just the beginning. We followed the staff’s excellent recommendation and opted for the local white wine, produced by Villa Sparina itself — fresh, balanced, and the perfect complement to the menu. On our first evening, my friend and I both ordered the scallops to start, followed by the seafood pasta. The scallops were absolutely exquisite — light, summery, and served with a well-balanced sauce that made every bite a joy. I could’ve happily ordered a second portion. The pasta, rich with fish and shrimp and steeped in a deeply flavorful seafood stock, was equally outstanding. I won’t describe every single dish we tried (though I easily could), but trust me — every course was crafted with finesse and full of flavor. Just take a look at the photos and let them speak for themselves. A heartfelt thank you to the warm, professional staff who made our experience not only seamless but truly special. Can’t wait to return. If you’re ever in the Gavi region, put La Gallina at the top of your culinary bucket list.

The view is incredible, although we were seated inside, but fortunately we could see the beautiful sunset from inside as well. The tasting menu is very good, although a bit expensive. For the price, you can expect more unique dishes, from a higher quality (and smaller portions). Very friendly staff and just expect to pay a little bit more for the amazing view & location ;)

We come here for the wine, but we definitely love their food. Service was very good. Their home made ice cream its amazing and you must try it. Stuff was very friendly. We will come back.

To start -The English menu was awkwardly worded with many grammatical errors -The ‘risotto’ if we can even call it that was rank: I was hoping to taste the horseradish and have half a dozen shrimp : like their website picture -one shrimp cut into quarters , vinegar added : ‘ to counteract the horseradish taste ‘ ?!? SWIMMING in a weird broth NOT RISOTTO- CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE- it was topped with a weird white foam that resembled what my dog brings up when he is finished vomiting - so much vinegar added - inedible - was also hoping for an outside seat with a view - even with a reservation put into a corner of their past barn : the servers were kind and was offered a bottle of ‘condolences’: - still paid for the risotto though - they should stick to making wine -

Guys you just need to be there at least once in the life. Michelin star, a special kind of vision, local ingredients, traditional Piedmontese food, old castle, candles everywhere, only 12 tables, incredibly well-trained staff. Unforgettable.

Fantastic meal! One our our top 5 meals of all time. Beautiful sunset, excellent service, great wine, and truly farm to table gourmet food. Worth every euro!
