Vinoteca Centro Storico

Vinoteca Centro Storico is a gem of a restaurant in the village of Serralunga d’Alba. This local-loved spot is small, intimate and rustic, with wine lining the walls—if you were to draw up your perfect neighborhood trattoria…where you dreamed of being a regular, this would be it. Upon arrival, you’ll likely find the owner and chef, Alessio, slicing meat and preparing incredible spreads of charcuterie and cheese to start any meal, which will be classic Piemontese. He also handles the wine list, which is large and impressive. Be sure to talk to him about which bottle to order; he has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine. There will be few foreigners here (if any); it is a neighborhood place for those in the know.
