Trattoria Piemontese — Restaurant in Valencia

I have eaten in Bergamo, Bologna and Modesta and not eaten better than this fine little trattoria in the middle of Cabanyal. Run by a charming Italian couple you will instantly feel at home. The menu is written on a blackboard and changes by the day. Being so close to the wonderful Cabanyal mercato with all its beautiful seasonal products you can be assured that you will eat well. I was served some delicious paper thin ribbons of lardo on crusty bread ( on the house) to start. I then tucked into the osso bucco ravioli ( two of my favourite things combined!!) topped with gremolata and swimming in rich , melted butter. This would have made any restaurant in La Grassa ( Bologna) proud. If I remember correctly , the wine the owner recommended was a Barbera but anyway it was delcious.. I took my desert to go: An uber rich chocolate almond tarte in rum sauce which was truley lovely. if you love real Italian food or if you just want to take a break from the local ,excellent cooking then you could do far worse than to eat here.. I would...

UPDATE ! October 2025

After 2+ years we went back and there were surprises. First they moved. A stunning new location near the old one. Beautiful ambience.

Delicious northern Italian food remains the key ! Appetizer of melted Gorgonzola and a baked pear. Venison stuffed ravioli with a blueberry sauce was spectacular! And the tagliatelle with meat rage sublime. The tiramisu remains substantial and luscious. See the new pics.

This place is fantastic from start to finish. But don’t come expecting pizza and red sauce. Open your mind to the amazing cuisine of northern Italy and the Piemonte region. Nothing we had disappointed. The artichoke lasagna was sublime. The tagliatelle with ragu exceptional. The wine was amazing- spicy, fruity and hearty. And the tiramisu was maybe the best I have ever had. Add to this a wonderful and friendly staff. Make reservations!! They have only five tables inside and do seatings at 130 and 300 for lunch. Absolutely a...

Food was amazing service was excellent despite lack of English, waiter did his best to explain things to me and was very nice. Did not expect English as it’s not in the tourist areas and clearly caters to locals- so do not let that keep you away. I recommend if you are in the area even if you do not speak much Spanish like me.

Cauliflower with sardines was amazing, it came with rasins which is the only food i normally hate however they had the perfect amount and good cooked texture that perfectly contrasted the salty sardine sauce but melted into the sauce texture. Some of the best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy - even better than some Italian food I’ve had in Italy. Tiramisu was huge but light and refreshing as it should be, and perfect end to a meal. Very very happy I chose them to break away from all the Spanish food I had been eating. Food tastes better than it looks- as it should be in my opinion. Best meal in Spain I had at this...
