About Osteria dell’Arco

You enter a courtyard off Piazza Michele Ferrero to reach Osteria dell’Arco. That small remove from the square suits the restaurant’s history: the I Tarocchi cooperative opened it in 1986 after working with local producers and winemakers. Its cooking connects Piedmontese recipes with products associated with the Slow Food movement, while keeping the character of an osteria where the table matters as much as the conversation. The wine list focuses on the Langhe and Roero, and the courtyard provides outdoor seating when weather allows.

The official menu checked on October 1, 2026 listed a traditional starter of insalata russa, hand-chopped raw beef and vitello tonnato at €16; forty-yolk tajarin and agnolotti del plin were €14 each. Those are dish prices, not the full cost of a meal with wine, service and any truffle. Visible reviews repeatedly praise the pasta and hospitality, although some mention waiting or a rushed service on busy days. The Google score and review count for this exact restaurant are preserved in the listing data.

The osteria confirms its address as Piazza Michele Ferrero 5. Different sections of its own website conflict about closure days, although it announces Sunday opening during October and November truffle season. Rather than rely on an aggregator’s timetable, confirm the particular service and book ahead, especially in autumn. If you want white truffle, ask its price before ordering and compare that expense with a meal built around the regular pasta dishes. Osteria dell’Arco best suits visitors seeking recognisable regional cooking in an intimate setting.
