The Locanda del Sant’Uffizio restaurant
The “Locanda del Sant’uffizio” has always attracted discerning,
refined tourists, and it is known to international gourmets for the
extraordinary dishes produced by revisiting with skill the preparations of
traditional Piedmont cuisine: located in the very heart of the truffle region,
the inn also offers a prestigious selection of first-rate wine qualities that
are typical of this area.
And the Locanda’s history has influenced this
restoration - the wine production, that was a prerogative of the estate, has
been taken up once again.
In fact, the surrounding fields and vineyards are now under cultivation, and,
with collaboration of the BAVA cellars at Cocconato d’Asti, THI can now offer
its guests its “own” vintage, a worthy peer of other famous labels, the Barbera
d’Asti Podere del Sant’Uffizio, a delightful wine.
The Bar
Climbing up the red bricks of the main facade, a magnificent ancient plant
provides shade for the little wrought-iron tables, arranged among lemon and
orange trees in their great pots... An enchanting corner of paradise for
refreshing, appetizing breaks during the warm summer days, and in the evening,
to the glow of flickering candles, a romantic spot for sharing an aperitif.
In the winter, the unique pleasure of a cosy room warmed by a crackling
fireplace, for sipping a cup of hot chocolate in the afternoon or savouring the
full flavour of a cognac during the evening.
