Antica locanda Il Duca Bianco

Inside an elegant townhouse near the center of the village. The interior is bright and spacious, with modern furnishings; in summer, guests can dine in the charming small garden or outside on the shaded terrace. Chef Vito Nolè’s cuisine is a guarantee of quality, thanks to the excellent products he has always used and his skill in preparing Piedmontese traditional dishes with a refined creative touch. The meal begins with antipasti worth the stop on their own: vitello tonnato following the original langarola recipe, lingua in salsa verde, peperoni with bagna cauda, and small seasonal vegetable flans. The primi are all delicious: ravioli d’asino, gnocchi with cheeses and truffle or fonduta, tajarin with wild boar ragù, and the typical agnolotti del plin. Not to be missed is the fabulous brasato al Barolo. Excellent desserts include bunet della nonna and tortino di nocciole. Warm, friendly service ensures a pleasant welcome. Excellent value for money, with a complete menù degustazione at €40. The cantina offers interesting labels from the surrounding hills, dominated by Barbera and Moscato, along with a pleasant Gamba di Pernice, a rare red grape that has had DOC status since 2011 under the name Calosso.
