L’osteria del Vignaiolo

If you’re ever on my instagram, you’ll see I frequent Osteria del Vignaiolo! It is a must when I am in Piemonte. The food pictures really speak for themselves – and yes I know I always eat the same things! But wouldn’t you eat this all day if you could?

It has become a tradition to go here with the locals when I celebrate something – my graduation, my birthday. And this apple dessert has become my absolute favorite! The first time I had it I cried and ordered another one (because I stole the first one from Fabio Ferrero – SORRY!) But look how nice they make it with the chocolate letters and candle. The staff at Vignaiolo really is incredible.

If you’re in the area, I’d say that eating here is a must! They have a really nice outdoor area for summer time, but the inside is also nice. (Norwegian always have to be outside when the weather permits). If you go, say hello from me!

Insalata Russa

A “russian” salad of peas, carrots and potato with a mayo tuna sauce. One of my favorites!

osteria veglio

Vitello Tonnato

A tuna sauce with kapers over sliced veal. Very good!

Ragu

Usually served with tajarin, this ragu is a must. The meat varies, but it’s usually rabbit (which always makes me feel a little strange, but if you pretend it’s something else it tastes good!).

Carne Cruda

I don’t have a picture, but most people know what it is. They often call it Battuta di Fassone and it’s served with olive oil and salt. Not one of my favorites.

Bagna Cauda

I have never tried this dish because I am usually in Barolo in the wrong “season”. It’s more of a fall/winter dish. It’s like a warm sauce and you can eat it similar to a fondue.
