The region is also known for its agnolotti, stuffed pasta typically filled with meat or vegetables, and tajarin, a type of thin egg pasta served with rich meat or truffle sauces.

The prized white truffle of Alba, considered a treasure of the region, elevates many dishes with its unmistakable aroma. Slow-cooked meats like brasato al Barolo, a beef stew made with the region's prestigious Barolo wine, reflect the marriage of food and wine that defines Piedmont's culinary culture.

Desserts also play a significant role, with treats like bonet, a rich chocolate and amaretti pudding, and the famous hazelnut cake, a nod to the region's exceptional hazelnuts. Accompanied by world-renowned wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, and Moscato d'Asti, every meal of Piedmontese food of Turin is a refined, yet hearty, experience that lingers long after the last bite.
