Ristorante Monti

Just a stone’s throw from Piazza Adriano, the Monti restaurant offers authentic Piedmontese cuisine. Their specialities are traditional dishes such as grandma’s veal with tuna sauce, “i plin alla
cordunà”, i.e. ravioli with a pinch of salt served in a napkin, without seasoning, and the typical Piedmontese mixed fry in three versions: normal or vegetarian (16 pieces for €24) and gran fritto
misto (35 pieces for €48) in which the savoury dishes include chicken and pork loin Milanese, veal meatballs, brains, granelle and liver. The sweet dishes include semolina, plum, banana and amaretto. There is also a tasting menu for €45. The menu also offers classic Piedmontese dishes, from tripe to batsoa (pig’s trotters), from Turin fillet (breaded with breadsticks, what many call Grissinopoli) to finanziera (the dish that Cavour liked with chicken offal and giblets). Desserts include zabajone, bonet and Cortemilia hazelnut cake. There is a wide selection of wines, including great labels from across the region, as well as bottles from small producers. The restaurant participates in the Buta Stupa initiative, which allows you to take home any unfinished bottles.
