While the hills around Novara are known to attract wine lovers, they also feature a number of quality restaurants, one of which is Pinocchio. Together with his daughter, Paola, 80-year-old Piero Bertinotti offers a cultured interpretation of traditional dishes such as panissa and tapulone, along with superb agnolotti. In good weather, you can enjoy a meal in the lovely garden. The wine list is among the best for those who love the varied offerings ofPiedmont.
