Almost ten years after it opened, this restaurant run by the Billis twins is moving towards what its owners describe as a “new tradition” – a personalised way of interpreting local traditions through the lens of global influences. While maintaining roots in solid Piedmontese traditions, the cuisine combines local ingredients with international techniques. Examples include “roasted rice”, a dish which is cooked in the oven and then flavoured according to the season and whim of the chef, and the “Carpaccio in Ramino”, beef which is lightly seared in a copper pan with rosemary, bay leaf, salt and pepper. The veranda’s retro ambience immediately catches the eye of passersby in the nearby park, adding to the appeal of this fascinating building dating from the early 20C.
