A sweet surprise in meat-centric Piedmont, Osteria del Borgo Vecchio does parallel vegetarian and meat menus, with all organic ingredients and all pasta made in-house. Despite these 21st-century conceits, you could still be in your Piedmontese nonna's dining room with delightful tiled floors, farmhouse chairs and a deep red, green and brown palette.
Rather ironically, the steak here is sensational, but so too are the meat-less meatballs.
