The Piola

If you call Piedmont, the Piola will answer. In the local dialect, a piola is a village tavern where you can order and enjoy simple, traditional food. When it comes to tradition, there needs to be a feeling of home, of a place where you can meet with friends and family for good wine and authentic dishes.

The Piola del Mercato started in Piedmont, but is growing throughout Italy, because although the name is local, the slow tavern is a nationwide concept.

The shop serves practical homemade cuisine: the menu is based on seasonally available local products supplied by the nearby market in Porta Palazzo, where the simplicity of the ingredients touches the heart. The traditional starters, such as the old-fashioned vitello tonnato and the Russian salad, are a must. Among the main courses, the tajarin with Fassona sauce, strictly handmade, and the traditional braised beef in Barbera are almost obligatory. The menu is not limited to Piedmont but is enhanced with classic dishes from all of Italy (and the islands), north to south: meatballs in tomato sauce, omelettes and roast main courses.

Down-to-earth recipes for taste buds and lovers of the good food of times gone by.
