La Piola - Virle piemonte

This is one of those places where you actually do not feel as a client, bus as if you were invited for lunch. And this is not nearly a boutique small restaurant it is large, noisy and lively! There never is “no”, never “you cannot”. When you order wine, they’d put an entire bottle on your table and you drink as much as you feel. They seem not to bother charging you one more bottle of sparkling water or grissini or bread. Everything is made minutes before served. And you would hardly pay more than 20€ per person a full lunch menu, Italian way (pasta first), with a lovely choice of desert, a home made limoncello and a divine Italian espresso. It is way out of the beaten track, in the middle of corn fields of Piemonte, but I would make this detour to have a lunch there again, if passing by Torino.

A hidden value in Piedmont !!! Even when the restaurant does not look from outside so inviting the content is absolutely awesome. Here you can find the perfect combination of great hospitality, excellent service, heartbreaking friendliness in combination with wonderful wines and extraordinary traditional dishes. All is so tasty and of high quality and fresh cooked. Here you can feel perfect passion for cooking. Would love to come soon again. Remarkable diamond in the region.

We visited La Piola on a Friday night. The welcome by our host was very warm. Throughout the evening we enjoyed excellent authentic food and wines from the region. Before each course our host took the time to reveal interesting details about the origin of the products and dishes or their preparation. For those who appreciate honest authentic cuisine at reasonable prices off the beaten tourist track, we can warmly recommend La Piola. There is also the possibility to buy local products to take away. We took the opportunity and bought a bottle of Roero (Cascina Chicco). A really excellent wine. Thank you dear La Piola team for this wonderful evening.

Ci hanno consigliato questo ristorante,dobbiamo dire che è stata una scoperta, cibi ottimi,dagli antipasti ai dolci, servizio eccellente!! Proprio quello che cercavamo!! Ritorneremo sicuramente

Scoperto grazie ad un invito ad una comunione. Pranzo e Vini ottimi! L’ unica pecca è il locale che avrebbe bisogno di una rinfrescata… ma tutto passa in secondo piano con un buon piatto davanti gli occhi
