4 Remarkable Restaurants in northern Italy

Degli Amici is a small restaurant in a small town discovered by accident (thanks Google) and does big things in a small space. Young lady owns and runs it. Wow! Tajarin al faro con vongele e flori de zucca e pistachio, Trattoria Degli Amici, Castellinaldo d’Alba

Defilippis is an old deserving standby in Turin and never fails. Fettuccine Ai Frutti de Mare, Pastificcio Defilippis in Torino. You better like garlic.

Al Santo is a fair hotel restaurant but the Bigoli was more than expected. Bigoli alla padovana at Ristorante al Santo in Padova. alla Padovana is a 3 meat Barnyard Ragu.

In the Langhe region of the Piedmont you’ll find Io e Luna. It has to be one of the finest dining pleasures in 12 trips to Italy. This highly rated restaurant is well worth going off the beaten track to find. Lunch on the terrace is amazing. Ravioli del plin ripieni di gorgonzola liquido, pere Madernassa e miele, Io e Luna, Guarene

Thanks, Philip. We've eaten at Al Santo, and enjoyed it. In fact, that became our "go to" place for lunch when we were in Padova a couple of years ago. Good pizza and good house wine. Great staff.
