Traditional Sweet Dishes
Gianduiotto
Gianduiotto from Villanova Mondovì showcases Piedmont's prized Tonda Gentile hazelnuts blended into chocolate, giving a silky toasted flavor, and its iconic foil-wrapped ingot shape was invented to turn scarce cocoa into an elegant treat.
Bunet
Bunet is a silky caramel and cocoa custard flavored with amaretti and a splash of rum, its name means little hat in Piedmontese because it is unmolded to reveal a domed shape.
Amaretti
Villanova Mondovì's amaretti are traditionally made with ground apricot kernels for a bittersweet almond flavor, and their chewy, fragrant texture was prized enough to travel from village bakeries to noble tables.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Agnolotti
Agnolotti are tiny folded pasta parcels filled with braised meats and roasted vegetables, their clever shape was developed to stretch a rich filling into many festive portions.
Bagna cauda
Bagna cauda is a communal warm dip of anchovies, garlic and olive oil eaten with raw and roasted vegetables, it began as a peasant winter staple that turned preserved ingredients into a convivial feast.
Vitello tonnato
Vitello tonnato pairs paper-thin slices of cold veal with a silky tuna, caper and anchovy mayonnaise, this surprising meat and fish alliance became a Piedmontese signature at summer tables.
Traditional Beverages
Barolo
Barolo from the nearby Langhe hills is made from nebbiolo grapes that develop roses, tar and cherry aromas after long aging, and its powerful structure earned it a reputation as the wine of kings.
Barbera
Barbera offers bright acidity, juicy plum and cherry notes, and its food-friendly lift is the reason it is a daily favorite at Villanova Mondovì tables.

Small town charm, amazing little cafes and a slow pace. July was hotter than I expected, two nights felt perfect.
A bit disappointed, felt sleepy and a tad pricey for sights. Good as a one-night stop on a longer trip, not a destination.
Nice hilltop views and quiet squares, not much nightlife though. Great for 2 relaxed days if you like wandering.
Loved the local food, especially the fresh pasta and focaccia, but sidewalks are tiny and streets get packed by noon.
