Iconic Food & Beverage Concepts
Piedmont on Piedmont
Nestled in the heart of downtown Opelika is Piedmont on Piedmont. A true Italian Ristorante that invites guests to experience the romance of Italy through the lens of Southern hospitality.
As a celebratory nod to the slow food philosophy, Piedmont serves handmade pastas and sauces, made fresh daily, with locally sourced ingredients and pours that have been specially handpicked from the world’s most exclusive wine regions — including Piemonte, Italy.
Rooted in the traditions of Piemonte, Italy, and reimagined for Alabama’s very own Piedmont region, Piedmont on Piedmont celebrates intentional dining and fine wine without the fuss.
The Torino Club
The mysterious, yet feisty, younger brother of Piedmont. An elevated cocktail lounge and wine bar located above Piedmont on Piedmont, inspired by Turin, Italy.
Above the streets of Opelika, ascending the stairs inside of Piedmont on Piedmont, The Torino Club offers guests an intimate escape overlooking historic downtown Opelika. Like the city it draws inspiration from, this speakeasy is Opelika’s hidden corner where time slows, conversation deepens, and hospitality feels personal. Whether you come for a cocktail or to linger with friends, you’ll find yourself part of something quietly unforgettable.
