La Taverna di Fra Fiusch

In the charming village of Revigliasco, a few kilometres from Turin, within the walls of an intimate and welcoming late 19th-century farmhouse, we find Fra’ Fiusch, where chef Ugo Fontanone has mentored a small group of chefs who now work in restaurants of varying renown. In the hills, it is always a pleasure to rediscover the classics of Piedmontese tradition, sometimes accompanied by dishes that push the boundaries of innovation. In fact, you can taste both traditional veal with tuna sauce and peaches and porcini mushrooms and salted tongue with peppers in green sauce. There is no shortage of tajarin with Langhe-style ragù made with chicken livers and sausage, agnolotti del plin filled with meat and alpine butter, as well as those filled with donkey meat, and risotto with Murazzano toma cheese, pears and coffee. Main courses include finanziera and lamb chops with raspberries, as well as seared prawns on hazelnut cream. Desserts include apple turnovers and Cognà, and goat’s milk blue cheese ice cream with pear sorbet. The extensive wine list offers Piedmontese excellence and a rich selection of Italian wines with a few French gems. There is also an interesting selection of cheeses. Prices range from €35 to €48.
