In central Italy around Palazzolo Vercellese (Provincia di Vercelli), seasonal menus balance hill-town olive oil, hand-rolled pasta, foraged mushrooms, and hearth-grilled meats.
Knife-chopped raw Fassona beef (carne cruda all'albese), chilled veal with creamy tuna-caper sauce (vitello tonnato), pot roast braised for hours in Nebbiolo wine (brasato), and bubbling terracotta pots of garlic-anchovy bagna càuda with winter cardoons (€13–€20).

Afternoons feature merenda sinoira—a historic Piedmontese farm tradition between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM where locals share platters of anchovies in green sauce, salami, frittata, and local Barbera wine at village wine bars (vinerie).
