Things to do in Saluzzo

  1. Le Quattro Stagioni

    As the name implies, the food changes with the season at this bodega-cum-restaurant situated in a street of dark porticos and obscure arcades. The smell of fruity wine through the doorway provides the initial temptation but wait till you get inside for crusty pizza, al dente pasta and the rest. There’s a pleasant giardino (garden) attached.

  2. L’Ostu dij Baloss

    Spring lamb cooked three ways (grilled, in red wine, and baked) and homemade tajarin pasta (finely cut strands, similar to tagliatelle) are among the local specialities served at Baloss’ damask-clothed upstairs restaurant in Saluzzo’s old town. At street level, its casual bistro with funky contemporary decor serves lighter seasonal dishes.

  3. Castle

    A few kilometres south of Saluzzo, the creaking medieval castle in the village of Manta is one of the finest examples of its kind, and carefully guards Europe’s most important cycle of late-Gothic secular frescoes. Its large park remains open throughout the day.
