Trattoria Antica

Went to eat with friends on Sunday 18 May 2025 for lunch. Spent 20 euros including drinks. Everything very good. I will return again. Reservations are required.

Piedmont and the province of Cuneo have always been the home of good food and, of course, good wine. Countless Michelin-starred or multi-starred restaurants have elevated Savoy cuisine to the pinnacle of Italian food and wine, but it's thanks to the trattorias and osterias scattered throughout the small towns that great traditional dishes endure. Their honest, authentic cuisine, rooted in the seasons and local produce, continues to fuel the legend of great food and wine. Trusted friends who love authentic, quality cuisine had raved about this historic trattoria along the main road from Fossano to Cuneo. I was very happy to join the weekday table to enjoy the great Piedmontese fritto misto, as there were no more seats on weekends until Epiphany. A spotlessly clean restaurant with a beautiful window overlooking the surrounding countryside, tables carefully set in the simplicity of a country trattoria. A genuine welcome, without too many frills, just as our people like it. The dishes speak of care, experience, and knowledge. An excellent Roero Arneis and an equally delicious Dolcetto d'Alba make for a lunch to remember. Three appetizers to start: salmon, prize-winning veal with tuna sauce, and a delicious fresh homemade capricciosa salad. Then began the long sequence of courses of the local specialty, mixed fried fish Milanese, chicken, sausage, semolina, lamb brains, frogs, mushrooms, eggplant, plums, apricots, apples, pears, breaded cheese, pavesini biscuits, amaretti biscuits, and other fantastic dishes. The dishes were always piping hot, using high-quality olive oil, cooked at just the right time, and always served with a "risparmio" (refrigeration) for all the dishes, a tradition now lost. Before dessert, some couldn't help but try the excellent house tagliatelle with sauce and a plate of typical local cheeses. Two wonderful and generous house bunets and an excellent coffee concluded a meal that will remain in the memories of all the friends present. The cook and the owners, whom I politely and calmly greeted at the end, garnering sincere applause from all the guests. A very fair price (€40.00 per person) for a top-quality, very light, and easily digestible lunch, debunking the myths about fried food in a lovely restaurant with unique owners and staff. Highly recommended. We'll be back as soon as possible to try the other house specialties. Reservations required and recommended.

Mrs. Adriana makes you feel good both for the welcome and for the exquisitely prepared food. I highly recommend you try it and you will definitely come back. Well done Mrs Adriana and thank you. Tonino and Silvana.

Great food. Excellent value for money... if you are in the area don't hesitate to stop by.

Excellent trattoria serving traditional Piedmontese cuisine. Upon reservation, they serve FRITTO MISTO PIEMONTESE, delicious and with a wide variety of dishes! Excellent value for money!

Comfortable and familiar environment, home-made and genuine food.... Mrs. Adriana always smiling.....

We've been coming here for a few years now, meeting up with friends, and you'll find "good food at a fair price." A traditional Piedmontese trattoria with its signature dishes. The fritto misto is definitely worth trying; maybe next time.

I happened to be there by chance during a day driving the truck, I stopped for lunch. I was very impressed, fast, simple and very good dishes. In particular that day pasta with ragù, fried chicken breast and vegetables, all proposed by the host, without a menu. Unbeatable price, recommended for a work lunch break like mine

Business lunch menu with a first course, second course, side dish, and dessert, plus coffee and water for 12 euros.

The common thread is simplicity, the place is nice, the food is not elaborate, the flavors are real, as is the very polite staff. The quality-price ratio is TOP.

Good quality traditional dishes and well cooked.

The best mixed fried food in the province and beyond! Be very careful of those with intolerance and allergy problems. The dishes arrive piping hot and not greasy. The appetizers and the rest of the courses are excellent! The wines, in combination, of quality! The delicious desserts, important cakes provided by a well-known pastry shop, the other homemade desserts, a note of merit goes to the bunet! The owners are competent, friendly and approachable. Very professional staff! A place to try and which you will never be able to do without again! 👏👏👏🤤🤤🤤
