Trattoria della Posta Restaurant, Monforte d'Alba

Located above Monforte d'Alba, the trattoria is something of an institution. As well as a family tradition, as the great-grandparents of Gianfranco Massolino already operated an osteria in Monforte d'Alba. In 2000, he decided to continue the family tradition by setting up in this elegant country cottage in the hamlet of Sant' Anna. Since he learned his trade in France, it is unsurprising that the dishes Gianfranco serves include goose liver seared to perfection. Another classic dish which may not sound like anything much but which will overwhelm you with its flavour, is his braised onion, filled with Toma cheese and the famous Salsiccia di Bra sausage. You should also try the "I Tajarin" pasta dish with rabbit ragout. Of course the number of fine wining and dining places in the Piedmont is legion, but few boast a comparable level of charm or rooms as tastefully decorated as these. The two dining rooms are furnished with beautifully restored antiques, and the fire crackling in the hearth adds a welcoming touch. The white-decked tables are graced with candles and fresh cut flowers. During the summer you'll dine on the elegantly set patio and enjoy the panoramic view over the gently sloping hills of the Langhe. Closed on: All day Thursdays, and Fridays during lunch time
Price range €€
If you take the "La Tradizione" you will get a classic, down-to-earth Piedmont menu with a very reasonable value-for-money ratio: a 6-course menu for the price of €40.00.
Trying your luck is pointless; you should definitely make reservations far in advance.
