It's right outside the Funicular exit, so has a prime position, and you could easily be tempted by its pavement tables and bright lights. You will pay handsomely for its services. After an early evening stroll we thought a glass of prosecco would be appropriate. On ordering, we were told it was 'Happy Hour' and there was a self-service food table inside for drinkers. We were booked into the 'Tre Torri' that evening, so although the nibbles looked good we said no, thanks. Then the bill for the prosecco was put on the table: 25 euros for a very ordinary bottle, found at half the price elsewhere. Ah well, let's get some value said someone, and he fetched a plate or two of morsels from the Happy Hour Table. The waitress pounced; the bill was amended to 30 euros. Apparently you pay a cover charge for the Happy Hour food. What's happy about that, when you're already paying premium rates for the drinks? The place is run by a Chinese gentleman and African lady. No slur on these people is intended when I say that I don't think they have quite got the hang of the Italian way of life.

Founded in 1848, the Vineria…read morestill has many of its original fittings, and the owner Simona takes pride in keeping things as they are. Step inside through the modest but pretty frontage, and you are in a timeless place, where the ancient hand carved shelves groan with wine and the old marble counter is topped with delicacies to nibble upon as you enjoy your glass of wine. To the rear lies a tiny internal dining room where you can take a more substantial meal, and on through here is a courtyard with a few more tables. Everything is beautifully laid out in an exceptionally tasteful manner. The dining aspect of Cozzi's has taken on a more serious aspect in recent years, and today it can lay claim to a place among the top destinations in the Citta Alta. Inventive cookery based on local products could offer you dishes such as: Tart of Potato, Honey, Goats Cheese and Chestnuts; Rice cooked in Barolo with Radicchio; Lamb cutlets with winter ratatouille; and red fruit meringues with white chocolate. Lunch is an excellent option at Cozzi's, as from Mon-Fri only they offer a 25% discount off their menu prices.
