Trattoria L’Antica Torre is a renowned restaurant located in Barbaresco, a small village in the Langhe, one of Piedmont’s most famous wine regions.
It is housed in a historic building with an ancient tower that overlooks the surrounding hilly landscape. The view is spectacular, with panoramas stretching across the Nebbiolo vineyards, the grape variety used to produce the famous Barbaresco wine.

The cuisine is typically Piedmontese, featuring traditional dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. Among the most popular dishes are vitello tonnato, tajarin (egg noodles) with truffle, Barbaresco-braised beef, and bagna cauda.
They are renowned for their assorted appetizers and for the use of Alba white truffles when in season. The desserts are also traditional, such as bunet and hazelnut cake. The wine list is particularly well-curated, with a wide selection of local labels, where the Barbaresco wines from various local wineries obviously stand out.
