Osteria Tre Case is one of many fantastic places visitors can eat in Barolo.
In Italy, where pairing local food and local wine is an art form, there is little argument that the Piedmont region offers more memorable gastronomic experiences than anywhere else in the country.
It’s not just the quality of the food or the superlative chefs that set Piedmont apart in this respect, it’s also the extremely reasonable pricing one can find throughout the region’s trattorie and osterie – plus, of course, the area’s stellar wines.
The Langhe, where Barolo and Barbaresco are produced, is the ideal territory to experience these glories. In an upcoming article, I will focus on Barbaresco, but for now let’s look at some of the impressive dining rooms in Barolo.

Osteria Veglio, located in a charming building just below the town of La Morra, is among the most typical of all local eateries. Owners/chefs Massimo Corso and Emanuel Marengo present a menu that updates local traditional Piemontese cuisine. While vitello tonnato and tajarin are available, you can also choose from roasted squid with chickpea cream or zucchini flowers with veal sausage for antipasti.
The main course offerings are true comfort foods, ranging from braised veal roast with mashed potatoes to roasted lamb
