Trattoria Terraluna

We ate here in October 2024. A simple, no-frills trattoria located a few kilometers from Barolo, yet elegant nonetheless. The staff were extremely friendly, and the head waiter was knowledgeable and helpful. Naturally, we sampled traditional Piedmontese dishes. Everything was impeccable, from the presentation to the ingredients, and considering how much we ate, I'd say we spent a fair amount: just over €30 per person for three appetizers, three first courses, three desserts, two bottles of water, and a glass of Barolo. Among the appetizers, the pumpkin flan with cheese fondue and the zucchini flowers stuffed with raschera cheese were excellent. Among the first courses, the raviolini del plin with butter and sage and the tagierin with braised meat ragù were outstanding. Among the second courses, the veal cheek braised in Barolo stood out...it melts in your mouth. For dessert, the bunet and hazelnut cake were excellent. We had a great time, highly recommended.

Excellent trattoria nestled in the hills of Monforte. Generous portions and very reasonable prices for both quality and quantity (the tajarìn with ragù was only €10). The food was all excellent and beautifully presented. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially one of the waitresses who was particularly approachable and made us feel at home. It's the perfect place for a quiet Sunday lunch with friends. Highly recommended!

We were there in mid-September, midweek. It's a good thing we called and booked a table before leaving Dogliani, because the restaurant was packed (with both tourists and locals!). We had lunch (pranzo): The antipasti were fantastic – all of them, including the delicate zucchini flowers, the Japanese squid, and the meaty ones. The pasta and tajarin were delicious, especially the one with black truffles. The desserts were also to die for. The wine list was extensive, especially the local wines. And finally: the waiters were very friendly.

One of the last bastions of "old-school" dining in the area. A very positive experience in a trattoria offering authentic Piedmontese dishes, served in a rustic yet meticulously maintained setting. Quick and friendly service, well-executed dishes: the tartare and tajarin deserve a special mention. Fair bill, convenient parking, and the option of dining al fresco: highly recommended!

I went for dinner with my boyfriend. We sat at an outside table and had a lovely meal; the food was good and the service excellent. The atmosphere was quiet and very pleasant. I'm a vegetarian, and the restaurant had no problems with it, and I ate very well.

We usually have lunch here once a year, during the ritual tour of my dad's hometown, and every time it's a pleasure, both for the food and the service and the atmosphere. This place is a guarantee for the people of Monforte, too. We've always had a good time and the prices are fair. I highly recommend it.

Found by chance, but it was a great discovery, delicious local dishes, from appetizers to desserts.. Well done..I will definitely go back to try the tasting menu..

We came to Monforte D'Alba by chance (among other things, a beautiful village) and I chose, again by chance, this restaurant. The restaurant is located adjacent to the road, but has little traffic and is mostly used by cyclists. We ate outside, in the dehor, surrounded by plants and flowers. The location is nice inside too. You can choose either a tasting menu for €35 (where there is a trio of starters, then you can choose a first course from among those offered and a second course which you can choose from among those offered) or à la carte (plus there were courses outside the menu, written on the blackboard) We opted for à la carte First course: a tajarin with ragù and maltagliati with Bra sausage. As a second course: baked lamb and veal cheek with Barolo For dessert: sautéed apricots with a scoop of ice cream and the other sponge cake with cream and strawberries. All accompanied by a bottle of 2021 Seghesio Barbera d'Alba. Coffee offered on the house Fast service and both the owner and the waitress very kind and helpful. A fantastic, very elegant trattoria where you can savor the flavors of the Langhe in a beautiful place. We will be back.
