The tajarin (tagliatelle) with porcini mushroom has one of the greatest flavors and freshness of any pasta dish. The house wine (especially the Dolcetto) has a unique effervescence that dances on the tongue. The cheerful waitstaff have made both of our dinners here fun and special with excellent service. The chef is very sweet and has a clear passion for food, during truffle season she walked a precious white truffle around the tables to share the aromas of this beautiful delicacy. Definitely a must try restaurant for anyone staying or traveling through Neive.

They have a nice selection of wines to choose from. We chose a nice barolo - be aware that the dining in price is more than the take home price!

Not the best food ever, but it definitely helped to fill our bellies as we waited for dinner!

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.
