Osteria Arborina

Langhe, Roero & Monferrato


Part of the Arborina Relais hotel, this very smart dining room offers gastronomic menus that either rework Piedmontese standards in surprising ways or go for complete culinary poetry and use the global influences that the widely travelled chef has gathered. The sommelier is one of the region's most revered and overall service is extremely attentive and personal.

In summer, head to the rooftop terrace if you'd prefer a casual grill or plate of crudo (they do both raw fish and beef), or simply to linger over a phenomenal glass of wine outside of meal times.
