The trattoria is located just outside the village of Monteu, at the entrance to a road full of woods and chestnut trees in the middle of the Roero. It is a historic business, established in the early 1900s.
After a long and major renovation of the building, the wondercul adventure of the Forno family began in 1998.
At the helm of the trattoria now is the second generation, namely Fabrizio, who joins his mother Paola in the kitchen, his wife Flavia in the dining room, and his father Bruno in charge of the cellar and suppliers.
Here, typical Piedmontese cuisine comes to life through dishes that enhance seasonal and zero-mile ingredients, offering an authentic experience that will make you feel the fllavors of Piedmont in every bite.
A curiosity: Paola’s father and Fabrizio’s grandfather, was the ‘grande Torino’ footballer Eusebio Castigliano, who died in the plane crash at Superga on 4 May 1949
A story of expert hands and passion for cooking that bring the warmth and flavours of yesteryear to the table

The Kitchen
A celebration of Piedmont among cheeses, truffles and seasonal flavors
Here you can experience authentic Piedmontese cuisine with a tasting trail for those who want to be advised or the classic a la carte menu for those who are clear about the dishes they want to taste.
The osteria also boasts a rich selection of local cheeses, a varied dessert menu and creamy artisanal ice creams prepared by Fabrizio.
In season, the menu is enriched with fresh and prized ingredients such as mushrooms, asparagus, Carmagnola peppers declined in four different preparations, and of course the renowned White Truffle of Alba, a true celebration of the flavors of the areas.
