On the road leading up to the Acqui Cathedral's magnificent courtyard lies La Schiavia, Roberto Abrile's restaurant fashioned from a late 17th century nobelman's house, and refurbished in a well-balanced, elegant style with a stucco ceiling and antique furniture. The intensely-flavoured 'frontier' cuisine skilfully combines ideas taken from Ligurian cooking with traditional Piedmontese dishes. The top quality wine list includes around 400 of the finest Italian and French crus.
