It’s an absolute delight to wander through, soaking up the craftsmanship and history that radiate from every surface.

A wonderful Cathedral located at the center of Cuneo, worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral. The façade remained closed between new buildings in 1832. The difficulties of connecting it with the nearby buildings and safeguarding the path of the porticoes were overcome in 1863 - 1866 with the project of Antonio Bono, with four large fluted columns supporting the tympanum with the dedication. In the dome Giuseppe Toselli, a painter from Peveragno, in 1834 represented the Assumption of the Virgin and the participation of the patrons of Cuneo: Saint Michael, Saint John the Baptist and the blessed Angelo Carletti. (Original) Bellissima cattedrale. La facciata rimase chiusa tra nuovi edifici nel 1832. Le difficoltà di raccordarla con i vicini palazzi e di salvaguardare il percorso dei portici vennero superate nel 1863 – 1866 con il progetto di Antonio Bono, con quattro grandi colonne scanalate sorreggenti il timpano con la dedica. Nella cupola Giuseppe Toselli, pittore di Peveragno, nel 1834 ha rappresentato l’Assunzione della Vergine e la partecipazione dei patroni di Cuneo: San Michele, San Giovanni Battista e il beato Angelo Carletti.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Santa Maria del Bosco dates back to the Middle Ages. It was then a humble little monk's church nestled in the woods, then became a parish church and collegiate church of canons, and finally, in 1817, the Cathedral of Cuneo. On the outside, the eye is drawn to its immense columns; on the inside, to the ornamentation of its chapels and high altar. (Original) L'église Santa Maria del Bosco trouve ses origines au Moyen Âge. Elle n'était alors qu'une humble petite église de moines au milieu des bois, puis devint église paroissiale et collégiale de chanoines, et enfin, en 1817, cathédrale de Coni. À l'extérieur le regard est attiré par ses immenses colonnes, à l'intérieur par les ornements de ses chapelles et de son maître-autel.

The episcopal seat of the Cuneo-Fossano diocese, it has been a national monument since 1940. A beautiful cathedral, it is well worth a visit; the façade was obscured by new buildings in 1832. The Cathedral was a lively parish in the heart of the city, as evidenced by the presence of 14 altars mentioned in the pastoral visit of 1583. On Christmas Eve 1656, the vault of the church collapsed. Reconstruction was carried out according to a design by architect and painter Giovenale Boetto. The last significant project was the creation of the crypt for the burials of the bishops, which took place in 1968.

Impressive from the outside, looks like it needs restoration

(Translated by Google) The monumental complex of San Francesco is located in Cuneo and includes the former convent with the cloister and the adjoining former church. It has been classified as a national monument and a rare architectural example of the medieval era in the city. The convent of the Franciscan friars with the pictorial cycles preserved inside the church and the decorative fragments present in the cloister and in the former convent space constitute an important testimony to the most ancient history of the entire city. However, the oldest frescoes were located along the perimeter of the fourteenth-century cloister and were discovered in the 1980s, during the first restoration works on the complex. Partially hidden by a wall is a beautiful painting of Saint Christopher, but the best-known image is certainly the Madonna and Child with Saints Francis and Elizabeth and donors, today displayed in the entrance rooms to the collections. The current cloister dates back to the seventeenth century and features frescoed lunettes with the stories of the saint to whom the church is dedicated. If you visit Cuneo the whole complex is worth seeing. (Original) Il complesso monumentale di San Francesco si trova a Cuneo e comprende l'ex convento con il chiostro e l'annessa ex chiesa. E' stato classificato come monumento nazionale e rara testimonianza architettonica di epoca medievale in città. Il convento dei frati francescani con i cicli pittorici conservati all'interno della chiesa ed i lacerti decorativi presenti nel chiostro e nell'ex spazio conventuale costituiscono un'importante testimonianza della storia più antica dell'intera città. Gli affreschi più antichi si trovavano però lungo il perimetro del chiostro trecentesco e furono scoperti negli anni Ottanta, durante i primi lavori di restauro del complesso. Parzialmente nascosto da una parete è dipinto un bel San Cristoforo, ma l’immagine più conosciuta è certamente la Madonna con Bambino con i santi Francesco ed Elisabetta e donatori, oggi esposta nei locali di ingresso alle collezioni. Il chiostro attuale è seicentesco e mostra lunette affrescate con le storie del santo a cui è dedicata la chiesa. Se visitate Cuneo tutto il complesso è da vedere.

(Translated by Google) The monumental complex of San Francesco is an integral part of the Civic Museum of Cuneo. It is a splendid sacred building from the medieval era, consisting of the church and the former convent. The church is deconsecrated: used as a venue for exhibitions and exhibitions, it preserves the remains of some frescoes and allows you to admire, via glass walkways, the archaeological excavations relating to the oldest parts of the building. (Original) Il complesso monumentale di San Francesco è parte integrante del Museo Civico di Cuneo.

Nice pasticceria to drink good Italian coffee (or other drinks) and taste the special rhum bobbon together with a certificate of origan. The shop is located in the centre at a big square.

Aperitivos in style! Full of colour, glitz and history. Even the window displays are beautiful. Loved the bustle and of course bought some chocolates.

We went for Aperitivo. Nice classic deco & good vibes. Cocktails are excellent, we had also a Torta Sache. Honestly this vibe is much better than I had tarte Sache in Vienna. I'm not keen for desser though. Service is lovely! Grazzie Mille

Thank you for the wonderful experience at your place. The atmosphere was vibrant and the drinks were top-notch. Looking forward to returning soon!

This is a favourite café we like going to whenever we come back here for a visit. It's an old style café at the back with a pastry and sweets shop at the front. It is still a great place to take a break from your day. Don't be surprised if you see a dog quietly snoozing under the table while his owner enjoys his espresso with friends. Dogs are generally allowed in Cafés in Europe.

Well first and foremost the BEST & original CUNEESI! (The cuneese al rum is a type of chocolate made up of two meringue wafers that contain a dark chocolate and rum custard, all covered with a layer of dark chocolate, which is produced in Cuneo. It is usually wrapped in red paper with gold lettering. Great spot for Lovely aperitivi and MERINGHE made in heaven

Love this charming old and beautiful oldstyle Café bar ♥️ You can somehow feel how much "life" is and has been around and about this meeting point. Highly recommended!

At Maccheria, you’re in for a great experience. The pasta is fresh and well-made, and the dishes are flavorful without being overly complicated. The menu offers a good variety, with something for both lovers of classic dishes and those wanting to try something new. The interior is cozy and modern, creating a pleasant atmosphere. It’s a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal with friends or family. What also stands out is the friendly service. The staff is attentive and makes you feel welcome. All in all, Maccheria is a great spot for enjoying delicious Italian food. Definitely recommended for anyone who appreciates good food in a nice setting.

Love the food specially the lasagna seafood. With Balance of taste and ends with tiramisu or panacotta with espresso or americano. Worth visiting if you are within the area

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Maccheria in Cuneo, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Every single dish was presented flawlessly, with an impeccable balance of ingredients that highlighted the quality and care behind each recipe. The flavors were refined yet soulful — the kind of taste that stays with you. As someone who travels extensively and has dined in some of the world’s top culinary destinations, I can say without hesitation that Maccheria could easily hold its own among Michelin-starred restaurants. The level of execution, attention to detail, and harmony in every plate is simply outstanding. To top it all off, the staff was warm, welcoming, and extremely professional. They guided us through the menu with thoughtful suggestions tailored to our preferences, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. An absolute gem — I will definitely return whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommended!

Delicious and high quality food, friendly and professional staff

A place everyone should visit for good Food and especially pasta and tiramisu

good pasta, but the restaurant is on the App "Fork" which the purpose is to have discount, we booked the restaurant with the app to have the 50% discount and at the end they did not gave it. they said it is because they are not obliged to, which looks like a scam because if you put your restaurant in an App for discount then authorised the discount.

We are visiting Cuneo from America and found this little restaurant for dinner. The waitresses are very friendly and attentive and provided us with an English menu option. We had the stuffed truffle pasta and the beef fillet. Both dishes were VERY good! The tirimisu is a must as well! Everything is homemade from scratch.

A little bit slow service, but worth the wait. Seafood pasta amazing! Good wine selection.

We were there for the lunch time with reservation, which is suggest to do because it van get busy during weekends. Ambience is quite modern, Service was kind and fast. We ordered risotto dishes with sea food, both of them were delicious with generous servings, they were cooked nicely. I recommend this place for a dinner or lunch , i was quite impressed by it.

Very good and affordable italian restaurant. Large choice of wine

I had dinner there last week and first my secondo was delivered and only 10 minutes later my antipasto. Then, half of the table had already fully finished eating, whilst the other half had just received their dinner. The beef fillet I had, had a weird taste and later in the evening and the entire day after I felt sick from it. Please avoid this restaurant.

We waited almost 30 minutes and we asked someone to order for us, the answer was always wait wait wait again. Then it took another half an hour for our spaghetti. Also, they poured half of the glass of wine for us to taste, such unprofessional, there was a moment that I was actually wondering if we are in Italy.

It's not super expensive. Good quality and nice staff. We had simple dishes maybe the chicken could have more salt but it was good with the balsamic oil!🥰

So, me and my wife while we were sightseeing the town of the Cuneo , we chose to go for a dinner at 19:30 pm to this place , the waiter let us in and gave us a table right next to the bar after my wife asking him can we go to another table and he said “NO” (what a rude service ) anyway we were hungry and tired didn’t wanted to keep searching for another restaurant to go eat .. Anyways we set down , my wife ordered a chicken plate with some vegetables and I ordered mix fish plate. Man the chicken was not cooked at all ! The fishes was smelling horrible not fresh at all..! Do not go to this place specially if you are a tourist.. NEVER EVER AGAIN !.

Another spontaneous finding in Cuneo. We were really nice welcomed by personnel and get a table even without booking. The inner yard is a beautiful place and you can feel yourself 100% in Italy. Sends Fretta is not just a name, looks like it’s a slogan 😅 as we waited really a lot before we get our order, that was actually a minus. Food was well cooked, however in my opinion the portion is less that expected, I’d like to have bigger portion for the price. My fish was delicious, but too much rosemary was used and it drown the other tastes: fish, sauce. Overall, we spend nice time, but personally I will not visit this place for the second time.

The only plus of this place is that it works at a time when normal places with tasty food are closed. In general, it should be said that the staff is not trained to properly treat tourists, none of them speak English, and we are not required to learn Italian in order to dine in this place. I ordered risotto for myself and I must say that it was an oversolted risotto with some strange cheese in the form of melted snot. In my opinion, if you don’t know how to cook - better not to do it. Moreover, they sat us in the backyard, it felt like we were sitting in a basement - it was damp and very cold, despite the fact that there were many free seats in the restaurant. The service of dishes took a long time, the toilet was dirty. I cannot recommend this place. And judging by the rudeness of the manager of this place, dear, do not bother to answer my review. All the best to you.

Spacious rooms, quiet if on the courtyard, everything you need, comfy beds and the restaurant is amazing 😍 Parking 200 m away

Best vegetarian and non vegetarian meal we've had in N Italy. Great ambiance and not too fussy. Wonderful staff. Get the veggie cakes. A nice reprieve from pizza and pasta.

If I had only one word to say it will be- wow! What a great find in a non impressive area. The friendliest staff (Chiara, Matteo and the rest)., unbelievably tasty food, nice atmosphere (although I prefer Italian music to jazz…). The vegetarian anti-pasta, gnocchi, ravioli, Veggie and dolce della nonna were just perfect. Cannot wait to return tomorrow!!! Wednesday: went again tonight- still perfect: the atmosphere, the food, Matthew and Chiara. In brief- DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT!!!

I stayed for one night in one of the rooms on the first floor, facing the inner courtyard. The location is good, right in the (not overly exciting) city center. On the upside, the room was clean and the amenities mentioned in the description on booking.com were all available (kettle, tea, coffee, A/C,..). It's not super spacious, however, and what I found somewhat annoying was that the balcony is situated right above the terrace of a neighboring restaurant, so do not expect any calm in the evening. There is no view, it is actually obstructed by the shabby back wall of another building (see picture). Another downside is the check-in procedure and time: check-in is possible only between 6 and 10 pm, which is way too late. I arrived at the site soaking wet from a hike and had to wait for more than two hours before I could get into my room. Luggage can be dropped there before 6 pm but only after a kitchen aid that had to be called by the owner (who was not on site) opened the door. But there is no lobby or anything where you could wait, the luggage is locked in and you have to leave again and return at 6. Booking.com announced the offer "with breakfast", which is in reality a little joke, as there is no breakfast area or anything but you just receive a voucher for one croissant and a coffee in a neighboring café, which is pretty ridiculous, knowing the comparably rich breakfast buffets in similarly priced Italian hotels. All in all a pretty disappointing experience and definitely not worth 100 euros. Would not book it again.

Wow. The food and service was incredible. Cannot wait to come back again.

Great place! Food delicious, fresh, very good pasta and tiramisu. Definitely try wine as well. Perfect service and atmosphere. Fully recommend!

Service here is very friendly , super accommodating, i really liked that tables were all ready for customers with bread and salami , portions were great and everything we tried was simply delicious. Need to visit here again to try other dishes.

We had a dinner at this place. Nice atmosphere, really quick service, but the food left a mixed feelings. Lasagna requires changing as it’s more pasta than lasagna. A bit dry Tiramisu. The place is just fine, I do not have any serious complaints, but fail to mark anything special.

Great place in Cuneo to have fantastic food like Battuta di Fassone, Vitello Tonnato etc., all Piemonte specialities. The personnel is amazing and they manage to sit the 6 of us although it was super full and we did not reserve. Super kind but to avoid surprises, I suggest to book in advance! Definitely a restaurant to go and cone back. Ah and the prices very good!

Summary: servers had brilliant English, wonderful food, a real community Ferrell and surprisingly good prices. Details: my partner and I drove into Cuneo at 8:30pm needing somewhere to eat so we found this place on Google Maps due to good reviews. Despite not having a reservation, they seated us outside with a little shuffling around. There are breadsticks and small baguettes in the table as an appetiser, along with oil for dipping. This was free. It started to rain, and despite not being covered, all of the workers brought out pop-up gazebos and worked like a well oiled machine to get them up and over the customers that were exposed. We had the selection of starters, and two pasta primi dishes- I recommend the cheese gnocchi and the tomato pasta with courgettes! Just before leaving, we were offered some limoncello for free, then some shots for the road!! There is free street parking, but it’s very full. A wonderful place to eat and relax in Piedmont.

Amazing restaurant with good food and Nice vibes. Alessandro is a Super nice host , he make a small table for us when the restaurant is totally full. Great hospitality from him and his service crew. Everyone is friendly and warm , we will definitely come back again. Grazie Aless and your amazing team!

Friendly place, good staff and good food at a reasonable price..We drank 2 barrolo so that's why the price person is high...but for sure you won't just get one glass over there :) .

Turned up on spec and was told there would be a 40 minute wait. Decided to have a drink at the bar and chance it. Within 15 minutes we were offered a table. The food was good and service very attentive. Given no reservation, I felt like an honoured guest. Note that steaks are served 'blue' unless you say otherwise. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food and service, one of a kind experience, high quality ingredients, totally recommend for anyone visiting Cuneo.

Very nice atmosphere in tetro style. Young and very friendly staff. Great wines and excellent food, especially the meat specialties. As always a pleasure!

All perfect! Lovely food and fine wine, top class service and the restaurant interiors are just outstanding.

Excellent meat. A must at least once. Service is wonderfull; we arrived late, and the staff made an effort to welcome us. Will come again

Best option for a dinner Wonderful meat, excellent service Great friendly welcome, it makes you feel special

Amazing quality of the food, although the centerpiece is certainly the meat, all other foods and drinks are of equally high quality and they are prepared with care and mastery. The table service is attentive and the waiters are very knowledgeable. The wine list is extensive and in line with the quality of the food. All around a truly great food experience and definitely a place to come back to.
