In Perno, a small hamlet of Monforte d’Alba, you’ll find this little restaurant that feels like family and freedom: La Repubblica di Perno, an address worth remembering in these parts since 2015. Elena Miori and Marco Forneris have created a relaxed setting and an informal cuisine rooted in the great Piedmontese and Langhe tradition, interpreted with skill and a keen focus on top-quality ingredients. Clear, flavorful dishes such as Finanziera and tagliatelle with ragù are paired with an extensive wine list. The front-of-house service, led by Elena, is attentive and always warm. A restaurant with substance, where local identity, elegance, and conviviality strike a truly successful balance.
