Patience and perseverance are required to navigate the winding mountain roads through forests and hills to reach La Pineta, but the cuisine makes the journey worthwhile. The menu focuses on a tasting format that can be customized with fewer courses, and has always featured the restaurant’s iconic dish: fritto misto alla piemontese – a Piedmontese mixed fry. The appetizers are equally impressive, offering generous portions with an array of delightful small tastings.
