Food 101

Piedmont, a region in northern Italy, is known for its rich and flavorful cuisine, deeply rooted in its agricultural traditions and local ingredients. One of the region’s signature dishes is bagna càuda, a warm dip made from garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and butter, served with fresh vegetables. Another iconic dish is vitello tonnato, thinly sliced veal served cold with a creamy tuna and caper sauce. Piedmont is also famous for its agnolotti, small stuffed pasta, often filled with roasted meat, and served with a sage and butter sauce or in broth. Tajarin, a thin, egg-rich pasta, is another specialty, often paired with a luxurious white truffle sauce, as Piedmont is renowned for its prized white truffles. For dessert, the region offers bunet, a rich chocolate and amaretti pudding. These dishes, combined with the region’s celebrated wines like Barolo and Barbaresco, make Piedmont a gastronomic destination.
