The story

Osteria Bertaina in Mondovì: Award-Winning Piedmontese Cuisine by Chef Claudio Manoni

Osteria Bertaina: Piedmontese Tradition, Reimagined

In the heart of Mondovì, on the medieval piazza Maggiore, Osteria Bertaina occupies two intimate dining rooms with frescoed ceilings from the early 1900s. The atmosphere is pleasantly nostalgic, a fitting setting for the work of chef Claudio Manoni.

Manoni’s cooking is grounded in the traditions of Piedmontese cuisine, but his approach is far from static. He introduces small, thoughtful modifications that bring freshness and innovation to classic dishes. The result is a kitchen that surprises with original, never-banal pairings. Plates are presented with impeccable attention to detail, making them as much a pleasure for the eyes as for the palate.

This commitment to creativity within a local framework has earned Osteria Bertaina a place in the Michelin guide, which praises the “excellent cuisine” that leans predominantly on local proposals, while also offering some more creative dishes. The recognition is a natural fit for a restaurant where respect for Piedmontese roots meets a clear, personal vision.
