Another in the list of fine dining options in Piemonte, this one located in Monforte d'Alba…read more The thing making this one unique is the venue-they've got a large beautiful patio that overlooks the old city so it is really scenic eating outside under umbrellas with soft lights as the sun goes down. Like other ristorante in the area we have visited, you can count on top notch service, beautifully presented, hand-made food and an extensive list of local wines at astonishingly reasonable prices. We have learned to share courses in order to avoid getting too much food (even though portion sizes here were "normal" and not the typical over sized ones of USA). We started with a fresh tomato baked with burratta cheese inside followed by a beautiful sage and ricotta filled pasta then a filet of breaded veal that was cooked perfectly. To finish, we chose a chocolate hazelnut dessert and also enjoyed a nice Barbera wine with the meal. Total was only 92€. Caution: it is a MUST to book ahead-they only have about 15 tables on the patio and turned away many diners trying to walk-in.

First time we tried the Tajerin al ragù, our 2 years old daughter is keep repeating "-agù" since then, true story.

Highly recommended for a delicious dinner or a relaxing, long lunch

One of the BEST finds in Piemonte! We had been driving in the countryside and our guide had asked…read moreabout lunch time and had said she had heard of a local restaurant which was very good. She phoned ahead to confirm it was open and a table available, which luckily it was. The restaurant sits within a lovely surrounding of trees, fields and poppies. The restaurant itself has wonderful restored brick ceilings and tile floor with a beautiful fireplace. There were several other guests there when we arrived; a work crew out for a filling noon meal and a couple lingering, as everyone does in Europe, over their wine and dolcé. We each ordered one of the specials and each ate every bite! The gnocchi erbette (herbs) in bolognese was divine! The taglietele with melenzana (eggplant) was delicious! (the Mr. says so!) The bread perfecto! As we had more traveling to do we did not try the wine but we did have an espresso!! that was yummy! The owner/chef came by to chat and ask after our meal, he was very humble and accepted the compliments with grace.. Thank you for such a wonderful memorable meal!

Luna is a beautiful restaurant that faces the beach' we were given a nice outdoor table and enjoyed the view of the sea. As befits a restaurant by the sea, the seafood was fresh and delicious. My wife enjoyed ravioli stuffed with fish and herbs in a light sauce. My first course was mussels, clams and squid in a light vegetable sauce enhanced with herbs. Both were satisfying and not too heavy. The second courses were the special catch of the day, amberjack and fried calamari. Her fish was nicely prepared and served simply with olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes. Coastal Italy on a plate! The food here is not imaginative, but sometimes the tried and true preparations are the way to go. I'm a sucker for simple fried calamari when it's done right. It was done right at Luna. The calamari was tender and the tasty fried coat only enhanced the fresh squid. A bottle of local wine complimented the meal perfectly. It was recommended by the affable Paola, proprietor of this lovely restaurant. This is what every seaside restaurant should be.
