At Trattoria Il Paladino, in Alessandria, we offer a cuisine that enhances Piedmontese and Alessandrian gastronomic tradition, pairing regional recipes with some preparations of contemporary inspiration. Our à la carte menu includes appetizers, filled pasta, risottos, meat and fish mains, side dishes and desserts. Alongside local dishes there is room for recipes from other Italian traditions, with attention to ingredients and pairings. Our offering allows you to choose between typical Piedmont flavours and different preparations, while maintaining the convivial character of the trattoria.

Among the most representative dishes of our cuisine are Alessandrian agnolotti, offered in three versions: with brasato, with Barbera wine and “culo nudo”, served without sauce to enhance the flavor of the filled pasta according to local tradition. Among the mains we offer veal cheek with Nebbiolo, a preparation that recalls the connection between Piedmontese cuisine and its wines. To finish the meal you can choose the bunet, a typical Piedmontese dessert, which we serve with Corilù hazelnut crumble.
