Experience wall to wall Italian Hospitality! Our Regional Italian Dinners are exclusively available every Saturday evening in Salvo's Salumeria, just a few doors down from the restaurant.

Piedmonte lies right on the border with France and shares it's fondness for butter and dairy (the region is one of Italy's main cheese producing areas) along with, beef, game and the famous white truffles of Alba.

On our visit to Cuneo, a lovely town framed by the magnificent Alps, we heard many French accents in the famed food markets there, as traders and shoppers crossed the border for the beautiful produce of Piedmont.

After much eating and drinking, we finally came back with recipes and wine; we trust you will enjoy the typical dishes that we brought back from our travels as much as we did.
