If you book a table in the back you'll also enjoy a great view with sunset. Only thing to be careful: they mainly serve fish and dishes from Tuscany, so if you are looking for a traditional Piedmont Osteria, you might want to look for something else.

The frutta de mare was superb and ample as well as the sea bass that was plentiful.. The black truffles and pasta did not meet our expectations. Local wine was available and very reasonable. In all a good dinning experience

In the smaller villages it is sometimes more difficult to find a normal simple meal when you travel around and get a bit tired of the gastronomy. So when you are in Guarene this family run little osteria serves a decent pasta and nice secundo. The local wines are good. Half the price of the more sophisticated options in the gourmetrestaurants.
