The new location of Guido, in Tenuta Fontanafredda‘s Villa Reale in Serralunga d'Alba (Cuneo), tel. +39.0173.626162. Ugo and Piero Alciati are ready to refresh the splendour of their parents Lidia and Guido’s restaurant, two monuments to Piedmontese cuisine
The gastronomic temple of the Alciati brothers has moved from Pollenzo to Serralunga, inside Fontanafredda’s Villa Reale in a splendid location in the heart of the Langhe region, surrounded by an organic reserve, today owned by Oscar Farinetti. This villa was once a game reserve owned by king Vittorio Emanuele II and Rosa Vercellana known as “Bela Rosin” who later became his wife and to whom the reserve was then donated and dedicated.
The Villa Reale
This relocation has led to a revolutionary news: the freezer was banned, everything is cooked on the spot, from the freshly baked bread to the fiordilatte ice-cream, creamed right there and then. Even the pasta, hand-rolled and used for the famous Agnolotti del plin is prepared in real-time, then cooked and enjoyed with a flavour that reaches a perfect balance. In the menu you can range from Saluzzo white hen in white and red wine gelatine on a bed of green tomatoes from the kitchen garden, a fresh, only apparently simple recipe, just like the Motta di Costigliole’s square pepper stuffed with tuna and capers, a dish in which each raw material is blended in perfect harmony. Here you can find tradition, research, technique and balanced flavours.
