What he says about himself
“This has been my profession since 1975
(I began at the age of 15), and over time
I’ve tried to enrich my store of experiences
as much as possible: nine years of hotel
seasons, followed by three years in
Muscatel, four in Mondovì with my first
restaurant, and finally Barolo, where I’ve
been since 1990.
In 2001, I was awarded a Michelin star.”
Specialities
Risotto al petto di piccione and tortino di
nocciole.

A STROLL THROUGH
Barolo: the Castello di Barolo (Barolo Castle) is an ancient building that was significantly altered in the
19th century. It houses the Museo Etnografico (Ethnographic Museum), historical apartments furnished
with antique pieces, the heraldry room, the library, and the relics of Silvio Pellico. Also located here is the
Enoteca Regionale del Barolo, a prestigious showcase for local wine production. In the environs: in the
hamlet of Roncaglia di Bene Vagienna is the Riserva Naturale Augusta Bagiennorum (Augusta
Bagiennorum Nature Reserve). The area, located in a scenic position, is recognised as a site of natural and
landscape interest, and sections of it are subject to archaeological preservation. In fact, one can visit the
excavations of the ancient Roman city, which includes the ruins of a theatre, temple, and aqueduct.
