Tra Arte E Querce - MONCHIERO

A friend organized a truffle hunting with the owner of this place. Not only we had a great time with him and his fantastic dog, who went on to find 7 nice truffles in about an hour, but went back and ate lunch at the simple family restaurant. I was not expecting anything special at all as I knew nothing about this. Well, we had the most outstanding , traditional simplest home made food I ever had, perhaps including Osteria Setteponti, in San Giovanni Valdarno, in Tuscany. Now this food is real. Nothing fancy but the absolute best in class. We were floored. How can an unrecognizable place from the outside provide such a joy? Well done! I will be back. Thank you.

We, two couples were staying in the hotel Antico Borgo Monchiero and were looking for a nice place for dinner. The Tra Arte e Querce is right around the corner and was a 3 minute walk. My wife and I shared insalata sedano parmigiano e tartufo nero and maltagliati con peperoni e nocciole. A very delicious but simple dish ... white square paste with peppers in a cream sauce topped with ground hazelnuts. We then shared uovo in camicia con fonduta and bocconcini di capriolo alla montanara. The venison was very tender in a lovely tomato sauce. We shared two bottles of Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio Scudetto Barbera d'Alba Superiore. We shared a chocolate Budino, I had an espresso and a digestive.

One of the best places to eat truffles in Piemonte. Good Barolo and attention made it all complete. This is heaven on earth! Eggs with truffles is my favorite but also tajarin.

Anything with truffles (chargeable of cos! , it is just so heavenly. Again, the hosts were wonderful. Since we stayed there, we had both breakfast and dinner. Menu is simple yet fresh and delicious.

Ezio and his family will make everything to make you feel at home. The menu choices are limited, but everything is so genuine, authentic and well prepared that you will enjoy every moment of your meal and every drop of your wine. That’s why we come here regularly, winter and summer, and never leave disappointed! It’s a feel-good-evening!
