La Cantina Vineria con Cucina — Restaurant in La Morra

Don’t be fooled by the rather unsexy building, what lurks inside is an absolutely fabulous find! Very local cantina, Super friendly staff and a relaxed and comfortable interior. The main man speaks great english (his Wife, in the kitchen, IS English) . The food was amazing. Amuse Boucher was an olive oil dust with a small piece of ‘carne crudo’ Sausage. We ordered the slow cooked coddled egg and ‘romanesco cauliflower 5 ways’, just stunning.

Their desserts were fantastic too, the tiramisu was delicious and so was the chocolate gelato. Worth the trip out there from turin, especially if you are touring wineries or visiting the charming city...

We had dinner with our Italian friends in La Cantina and we were very happy with our choice. The place was very lively on Saturday night and full of local people.

Tiramisu was also very good and they even divided it into separate servings for us as we were sharing. Such a nice touch. My pasta with trout was lacking a nice sauce but fish was good. Overall no complaints and very good wine recommendation...
