La Grande Cave is a winestore where you can enjoy your bottle as it is or togother with light food…read more Selection of wines is small, but good. They have everything from full bodied red wines, whites, rosé and Champagne. You buy the bottle in the store. If you would like to enjoy the bottle at La Grande Cave or just have a glass of the bottle, corkage is €8. The light food is well presented, is of high quality and is very individual depending on the waiter. One dish can be garnished with paprika and strawberries by one and with tomatoes by another. Interesting and authentic! You can also buy wine by the glass. They have red/white/rosé of the day for about €8 with higher quality than neighboring restaurants. The winestore/bar has about 6 small tables in a steep alley located in central Villefranche. During high season there is a calm flow of people strolling by. The environment is beautiful with a glimpse of the harbour. This is a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner. Maybe buy a bottle, have a glass of it and finish it with dinner at home or at a restaurant nearby?

We opened the door and it was a cute dining set in front of us and then some stairs that led down to the restaurant. As soon as we walked down we felt we were in a different world. Restaurant looks to be within a cave with a long bookcase in the back. I love books! Bar was super pretty and they also had an area for the band that was playing some great music. They had a good selection but you do have to use google photo/translate to see the menu in English. The customer service was amazing and they tried to help anyway they could! They were also pretty quick. Food was delicious! We got a board, pasta and duck. I would go again!

Absolutely the most amazing experience in Italy and Europe as a whole. If you can find this…read morerestaurant (asking locals is better than google maps) you'll be in for a very pleasant surprise. Come hungry because the "all you can eat" family style dinner comes in about 15 courses plus dessert and wine. This is a real "Italian family" run operation. The owner, Evo is awesome. He welcomed us into his wine cellar where we chose a bottle of white wine. Since we didn't speak any Italian and he spoke no English it was quite entertaining when we went to pay him for the bottle. "Eight? Eighteen? Eighty?" We just held out our euros and trusted for him to be honest, and he was. It turns out we only paid $10 euro for a bottle of locally made white wine called "pigato". Dinner was amazing, wine was tasty but most importantly was the overall experience. If we ever come back to Italy we will certainly go here. If we don't make it back, at least evo will now be the most famous Italian chef in badalucco to ever be posted on social media! Ohhh one more thing, dinner is served late by american standards. The night we went was a Saturday and dinner started at 8 pm. It ended at 11! Dinner cost us about $60 euro for a couple, so roughly $70 usd. Pretty cheap compared to the USA !

If you're anywhere near Barolo town in Italy and love great wine, La Vite Turchese is an absolute…read moremust. This was hands-down one of the most memorable wine tastings we've had in Piedmont. The Barolo tasting was thoughtfully curated, showcasing the depth, elegance, and diversity of the region--from structured, age-worthy expressions to more approachable, aromatic pours. Each wine was introduced with genuine passion and deep knowledge, not in a rehearsed way, but with the warmth of people who truly live and breathe Barolo. We learned so much about terroir, producers, and vintages without it ever feeling overwhelming. The charcuterie board was the perfect companion: beautifully presented, featuring high-quality local cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments that elevated each glass. Nothing felt generic--every bite was intentional and paired beautifully with the wines. What really sets La Vite Turchese apart is the atmosphere. Tucked right in the heart of Barolo town, it feels intimate, relaxed, and authentic--exactly what you hope for in a wine experience here. The service was welcoming, attentive, and never rushed, making us feel like guests rather than customers.

He had a great selection of regional wines, with prices that were very non-tourist. He insisted his wife select a cheese to compliment the wine, great decision. His shop hasn't been there very long, but what a contrast to the mass tourist stuff we got at the wine museum. Go find this place. If you are into wine, it is worth it.
