A Tasty Journey into Piedmont in Milan — All Included
Imagine sitting in a cozy Milanese restaurant, surrounded by friends or fellow travelers, and indulging in a full Piedmontese dinner without worrying about extra costs. For just $67.97 per person, you’re treated to a carefully curated meal that takes you from appetizers to dessert, complemented by a lovely glass of Nebbiolo DOC wine from the Langhe hills. The experience lasts around 15 minutes from activation, but the memories and flavors will linger longer.
What we really appreciate about this experience is how it thoughtfully combines authentic regional cuisine with the relaxed atmosphere of a local restaurant near Porta Garibaldi. The inclusion of wine, water, and coffee makes it a hassle-free outing—no need to think about extra charges or complicated ordering. Also, the excellent service and warm welcome we encountered really made us feel at home.
One small consideration is that the menu offers a set selection, with limited choice, which might not satisfy those looking for more variety. The GPS directions could also be a bit tricky, as one reviewer noted that the address on the website is correct but the GPS might take you a little further away. Still, for lovers of hearty Italian fare paired with regional wines, this experience fits the bill perfectly.
This dinner would suit travelers who want an authentic taste of Piedmont without a hefty price tag, especially those eager to explore regional flavors without straying too far from central Milan.

Next up is the Barolo risotto garnished with Castelmagno. We found this dish particularly appealing because it combines the aromatic richness of Barolo wine with the creaminess of risotto and the sharp, flavorful Castelmagno cheese. It’s an excellent example of Piedmont’s culinary ingenuity—simple ingredients elevated through careful preparation. One reviewer mentioned the decent dishes and excellent service, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The tenderness of the beef and the comforting mash make for a satisfying dish, especially after a day of sightseeing. It’s a classic, no-frills approach that highlights robust flavors.
Dessert is a “Bonet”, a traditional Piedmontese chocolate and amaretto pudding. It’s a sweet finish that’s both rich and satisfying, rounding out the meal on a high note.
