La Taverna di Fra Fiusch

In the charming village of Revigliasco, just a few kilometers from Turin, inside a late 19th-century cascina, intimate and welcoming, you’ll find Fra’ Fiusch, where chef Ugo Fontanone mentored a generation of young chefs who now work in restaurants of varying fame. On the hillside, it’s always a pleasure to rediscover Piedmontese classics, sometimes joined by more innovative creations. Here you can taste vitello tonnato all’antica maniera, peaches with porcini, or lingua salmistrata with peppers in salsa verde. Not to be missed are tajarin with ragù langarolo of chicken livers and salsiccia, agnolotti del plin with meat and burro d’alpeggio, but also those filled with donkey meat, and risotto with toma di Murazzano, pears, and coffee. For secondi: finanziera, lamb cutlet with raspberries, or seared prawns on hazelnut cream. For dessert: fagottini with apples and cognà, and goat blue gelato with pear sorbet. The carta dei vini is extensive, featuring Piedmontese excellences and a rich selection of Italian wines with a few French gems. Cheese selection also noteworthy. Prices range from €35 to €48
