"The place is nested into Monferrato hills, the pleasure of driving through small countryside paths give way to the pleasure of arriving and being welcomed as part of the family, with professional and very competent personnel. The wine list is superb, done by a sommelier and presented by her too! Piedmont is one of top ranking (if not the top ranking) region for wine. Babette 's House (so translates into English) have a choice of Piedmont wines that you would try to get one after other in a raw... the problem being now who 's driving you back to hotel... Meals are lovely too, prepared with grande gusto . I chose the local carne battuta , minced raw meat from a special cow breed, very very tender. Not to be compared with the usual raw meat with the egg on top. It 's a feast for the mouth, and the tenderness is really unique. Following appetizer was vitello tonnato . Perfect. To taste well recipe should blend meat and tuna sauce together, as a duo in concert. Result was excellent. Bravo! Piedmont is the homeland of rice in Italy, alongside motorway you can spot so many rice field, but we 're not in Asia. I fancied a risotto al Barbera con salsiccia that is rice cooked with Barbera wine and sausage. Again each and every ingredient got perfectly assembled, without sausage taste taking the leadership, on the contrary. You could still recognize all subtle flavours of Barbera. What to add more? Nothing, I did not touch dessert as was delighted with risotto and appetizers. Lovely cozy place, interior very well arranged, several rooms to dine. A secret gem when travelling to Piedmont, not to be missed. Thanks a lot, Grazie mille!"
