The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Cuneo

Imagine an osteria where the waiters exchange jokes as they run around the room, where a plate of salami and gorgonzola is placed on your table as a welcome, and where the evenings always end very late, perhaps after tasting the homemade digestifs... This is the Osteria dei Colori, a restaurant with several pretty, colorful, candlelit rooms. Everything here is really very good, but don't miss the house specialty: chicche allo stracchino.

A large, modern, well-lit space serving a wide selection of pizzas, pastas and risotti, as well as salads, burgers and more elaborate dishes featuring Piedmontese and Ligurian specialties. An impressive choice of wines, mainly from northern Italy, but also beers. It's a bit like Cuneo's cantina, with everyone gathering here for lunch or dinner, but the service is fast and the atmosphere very good. Prices are very reasonable for this quality of cuisine. The only slight negative: it's noisy...

Fabrizio and Valeria have settled in Cuneo, where they prepare Lombardy and Piedmont recipes in their cosy restaurant, with fish dishes borrowed from nearby Liguria. Piatti di Parola offers sincere, family-style, local cuisine. The menu, a blend of tradition and creativity, changes every season with its Northern Italian specialties. The setting is intimate and sober, the wine list is very tempting and the dishes are delicious and served with care. In short, everything is perfect.
