The food arrives incredibly fast and the service was very attentive (for Europe standards). The pizza was very traditional Italian pizza. It comes out not cut and you need to use a fork and knife to eat it. It's pretty messy and overflowing with toppings. The bottle of wine we shared was very good and the prices were all extremely fair and reasonable. This was probably the most authentic Italian we had considering we aren't in Italy.

Our guide recommended we have lunch here and the experience was wonderful. We were met by one of…read morethe "three hens" who spoke English which was very helpful. The restaurant is decorated nicely in a simple modern style but with local flair. We were a party of four. The hostess started us off with a small salad of tomatoes, celery, and eggplant. The women split an appetizer, cabbage leaves stuffed with ham and cheese and then fried , and the men another, octopus, cuttlefish, and potatoes. Both were of ample size even after splitting (which was done in the kitchen) and very good. We followed this with gnocchi with pesto and nettles for the women and pasta stuffed with meat for the men. Again, the food was flavorfull and well prepared. We accompanied this with a local white wine. We declined desert but were presented with a bowl of cookies and then given a small bag of these when we left. All in all it was a lovely lunch on a cold rainy day in a friendly and pleasant environment. We would highly recommend you try this restaurant if you are in the area.

We came on recommendation from a local winery and didn't have a reservation. The place was quite…read morefull but we were told, if we weren't in a rush, it wouldn't be a problem. We weren't, so we sat for a nice leisurely lunch. The wait was worth it - they have a pretty extensive wine list. We figured we'd get a bottle since they were so busy. We had a couple of appetizers - the anchovies with butter and the cottechino (a winter favorite of ours!) We both got the plin in a perfectly seasoned sugo. There is a garden in the courtyard, where they get a lot of their vegetables and most of their herbs. Definitely happy with our choice and would definitely recommend!

The service was incredible - felt like we were the only couple at the property. The room was huge and super clean with two private balconies that had incredible views of the vineyards. The breakfast in the morning was amazing with so many options of homemade fresh pastries, eggs, focaccia, juices etc! I cannot recommend this place enough.

The veal filet was also excellent (and enormous). I liked the watermelon carpaccio to start, but my wife wasn't crazy about it, and both of us were so so on the white chocolate dessert. Five stars for the two pastas (two of the very best on our trip to Piedmont), closer to four for the rest.

Both types of places generally mean a good value for your money, so I don't get why Yelp categorizes this place as "€€€" when it is more like "€". Appetizers are between €5 and €7, mains are around €8, desserts €4, 1/2 liter of wine €6. We had some of all those things (pastas, cheeses, anchovies, savory flan) while we were there and everything was delicious! It is a bit chaotic and busy, but we would go back again if we are ever in Turin.

Thankfully, our friend made us reservations because there was a line 30 meters long of young people waiting to eat here. So, outside is packed, inside is crazy and even across the street the park is being used as part of the al fresco experience. But, why? Is the food so amazing? I didn't think it was anything mind-blowing. They serve basic food. Rustic, authentic, filling. Lots of potato dishes were on our radar. Gnocchi, roasted potatoes, and other classics. And, the prices were really reasonable for such a popular spot. After two weeks of scoping out the Michelin spots in Italia it was good to get back to some basics.

Palluda's inspiration is from "peasant cuisine" but he makes it contemporary with his modern touch.

It was largely empty at 12:30pm but filled up by 1:30pm. Definitely make a reservation. The menu is more casual, with most things at €8-13, desserts for €7 each. They start you with olives, grissini, and bread with olive oil. Wines by the glass are €4-7 each. Water and bread is €2. Food: - Peperoni al forno: cold roasted peppers with anchovy sauce. We had seen this on multiple menus and got it out of curiosity. It wasn't bad, but I kind of wish I had gotten a gnocchi instead (pastas are only €9 each!) - Cipolla: a baked onion with cheese inside - great for dipping bread - Ravioli with zucca and toma: super sweet filling of pumpkin for the fall - Plin al suggo d'arrosto: very meaty in a light butter sauce Everything was pretty solid. It's a nice place in a cute courtyard. I'm not sure it's coming out of your way for, but it was on our way out from alba.
