Taverna Del Ricetto - CANDELO

MOUTH CANDY! The A4 motorway runs from Milan towards Turin and an astonishing and not to be missed restaurant hides along the route: concealed within the perfectly restored, 13th century medieval village of Ricetto. Those who enter the walls of the fortified village travel back in time into the lost world of hidden Italy, and not a hint of the enchanting and intimate La Taverna Del Ricetto restaurant impeccably camouflaged behind ancient stones is visible from the immaculate and seemingly deserted, cobbled streets. This exclusive gastronomic shrine one of Piedmont’s best kept secrets serves traditional cuisine and is undeniably worth visiting. (From the A4 motorway exit Carisio follow the signs for Candelo and Ricetto along the road to Biella. We lingered over a lunch that might well have been enjoyed by Stendhal, and paid the price by reaching Courmayeur after dusk.

The owner is very kind and the place and service is great! Local fresh products are served and loca wine!
