In conjunction with the Cascina Ca'Rossa winery we had a great multi course meal showcasing the Piedmont region of Italy. Palluda's inspiration is from "peasant cuisine" but he makes it contemporary with his modern touch. He's also an avid gardener to get the very best of ingredients, he tries to achieve them by growing them himself, with Michel Bras as an inspiration. And to the cuisine and wine: -Aparagi, formaggio fresco di capra, nocciole e tartufo nero asparagus, Roccaverano goat cheese, hazelnut, black truffle Arneis Merica 2009 -Il vitelo tonnato classico Piemontese veal with capers and tonnato sauce Langhe Nebbiolo 2008 -L'uovo in pasta, ricotta e schiuma al burro Egg ravioli with organic butter foam Barbera Mulassa 2007 -Costata de vitellone, midollo, tatin di cipolla e pinoli Roasted veal rib eye, marrow, and sweet onion tarte with pine nuts Roero Audinaggio 2008 & Mopissano 2007 -Dessert al latte fresco e cremino Birbet 2010

It was largely empty at 12:30pm but filled up by 1:30pm. Definitely make a reservation. The menu is more casual, with most things at €8-13, desserts for €7 each. They start you with olives, grissini, and bread with olive oil. Wines by the glass are €4-7 each. Water and bread is €2. Food: - Peperoni al forno: cold roasted peppers with anchovy sauce. We had seen this on multiple menus and got it out of curiosity. It wasn't bad, but I kind of wish I had gotten a gnocchi instead (pastas are only €9 each!) - Cipolla: a baked onion with cheese inside - great for dipping bread - Ravioli with zucca and toma: super sweet filling of pumpkin for the fall - Plin al suggo d'arrosto: very meaty in a light butter sauce Everything was pretty solid. It's a nice place in a cute courtyard. I'm not sure it's coming out of your way for, but it was on our way out from alba.

This place is spectacular in every sense of the word The food is not only fresh and homemade but has that quintessential "italian " love that you can only get from those that have TRUE passion for what they do and life overall. If you are in Leeds - and let's face it - why would you not be??!! Go to La Piola. The staff is friendly and make you feel at home immediately. The food is so delicious you will only ever compare every other meal in your life to it, and the atmosphere in this 9 table restaurant will keep you asking " why isn't it bigger?" If you are lucky enough to snag a table here you are truly in for an experience of a lifetime! Enjoy the gem of a restaurant!!

Our hotel owner recommended this place to us on a Monday saying it was good, local food. They…read moreopened at 7:30 and we arrived at 7:15 on a raining evening. The door was open and we poked our heads in to ask if they had any open reservations. The owner told us to come in and stay, that they were pretty busy with reservations but he had a couple seats open and with the weather we shouldn't go back out. He wasn't wrong, by 7:40 the place was basically full. A couple of individuals wandered in and he did his best to create a communal table to serve them. When we arrived one waiter was still hand writing the menus for the day and the owner was busy readying the wine selection. They brought us a menu, the waiter spoke English and was able to describe the 10 things on the rough menu. When we asked if they had rabbit he jokingly remarked 'no, none were running around the place today'. We opted for a 1/2 bottle of barolo, a portion of tajarin ragú (spaghetti with meat sauce), Milanese and brasato (traditional stewed veal). As per norm plenty of bread was served. The entrees came with sautéed vegetables. The brasato was good, meat was soft and flavorful and sitting at this long, wooden, communal table I could completely envision eating this as a traditional dish. The tajarin was perfect for my taste. It was not sauce heavy so if you prefer a meat sauce like that this is not for you. I loved how the homemade spaghetti and the meat really stood out with a very small amount of sauce to bind the two. The Milanese was great. Pounded thin and pan fried in butter, the flavor was tremendous. Living in Italy could really make me like veal! We did not get dessert but the waiter brought us some local appertif to try. It was very sweet but with bitters, an interesting mix. People watching in this place was great. I got a lot of amusement out of it and it was just the sort of place I was looking for in Italy. A place where people gather, are loud, laugh and enjoy home cooked food without frills.

At Bovio, you can get a 6 generous course set at the price of 55 euros (drinks excluded) during lunch!

My favorite dish had to be the veal tartare which was topped with black truffle. Its taste and consistency reminded me very much of my favorite beloved prosciutto.

The wife is very sweet, I guess the husband does the cooking? If we hadn't been at a Michelin stared the eve before, I maybe would have given it 5 stars. I hear of you come during truffle season, you get quite a treat. I thought the food was just okay- the veal carpaccio was lacking flavor and so was the tagatelle with bra sausage sauce. We liked the veal with balsamic entre and the baked onion stuffed with cheese and sausage.
