Bars in Piedmont

One of the grandest coffee houses you'll ever walk into, this place looks like its part of a royal palace.

On the piazza in Orta San Giulio, this historic caffe is a special place.

This classic wine bar in Orta San Giulio is in a stone-hewn room full of Old World charm.

Al Bicerin.

The place gleams golden with the honey-hued marble and gilded moldings, and behind its unassuming door under a portico are refined salons harkening of the 1800s.

Don't let the name fool you, because of course they have wine from the area's producers (hello, Piedmont wine country) but also beer, cocktails and more.
