Il Bosco Delle Galline Volanti (The Wood of the Flying Hens) is newly opened on the edge of the parking lot at the edge of the small town of Barolo. The young owners are enthusiastic about explaining that they are sourcing their food and wine from a small number of farms and vineyards in the immediate region - local and sustainable, which in Italy is often referred to as zero kilometre.

We were in for lunch, and shared a fennel salad (both raw and cooked) with greens, and a dish with a variety of mixed fried veggies.

Glasses of local white Arneis wine.

All tasty. We wish them well on their enterprise.

Really nice food based on local ingredients, delicious wine and very friendly and engaged owner that made the visit very enjoyable.

All of the little restaurants ingredients are from their own garden or local suppliers, and it shows. The homemade (rigatoni) we had (ragù piemontese and pomodoro e basilico) were fantastic and prices are fair. We only caught a glimpse of their cheese plate, but it also looked very good. They also sell some of their goods right there if you want to enjoy some of it at home or as a gift. Service was also very nice and quick. The place seems very new, so they could work a little bit on the decor (we'd suggest some paintings on the walls ;-)), but overall it was a very nice experience and if you're in Barolo and want some pasta, gifts or just fresh organic food, we highly recommend it.
