Osteria la Vecchia Carrozza
You could be sharing the room with a quartet of nuns or a birthday party of celebrating college graduates at this local spot bedecked with white tablecloths and polished wine glasses, but characterised by plenty of down-to-earth Piedmontese ambience. This being Asti, the food is infused with truffles, Barolo wine and a formidable agnolotti di astigiana.

Pompa Magna
This split-level brasserie-style restaurant is a great spot for a bruschetta and glass of very good wine (the Pompa Magna also owns an enoteca in town at Corso Alfieri 332; closed Mondays). But it’s worth coming hungry for its chef-prepared menus and especially its bônnet (an elaborate chocolate pudding) for dessert.

Torre Troyana o Dell’Orologio
During the late 13th century the Piedmont region became one of Italy’s wealthiest, with 150-odd towers springing up in Asti alone. Of the 12 that remain today, one, the 38m-tall Torre Troyana o Dell’Orologio, can be climbed.

Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta
Rising above Asti’s historic core is the enormous belfry of the 13th-century Romanesque-Gothic Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta. Its grandly painted interior merits a peek.
