The story
At the heart of Tortona, Osteria Billis brings a contemporary interpretation of the Italian osteria tradition. The space is designed for both intimacy and conviviality, with counter dining that invites guests to watch the kitchen at work, and outdoor seating on La Terrazza for warmer months. The interior is air-conditioned, comfortable, and understated—a setting that lets the food speak for itself.
Michelin has awarded Osteria Billis a Recommended status for 2026, a testament to the quality and consistency of its contemporary cuisine. The restaurant’s approach is rooted in respect for ingredients, with a menu that evolves with the seasons—though the exact dishes change regularly, the philosophy remains constant: clean, modern flavours served without pretence.
Open for lunch and dinner, Osteria Billis welcomes guests from Wednesday through Sunday, with a special Monday evening service. The counter dining option is a highlight for solo diners or those who enjoy a front-row view of the action. On sunny days, La Terrazza becomes a sought-after spot for al fresco dining, surrounded by the quiet streets of Tortona.
Whether you’re stopping by for a weekday lunch or a weekend dinner, this Michelin Recommended osteria offers a genuinely contemporary take on Piedmontese hospitality.
