Starters
Though the menu focuses on robust mains, guests can anticipate an elegant start with freshly baked breads and local specialties that prepare the palate for the rich flavors to come.
Mains
Dive into a selection of sophisticated and hearty dishes that highlight the culinary tradition of the Maritime Alps region. The menu features pasta dishes like the delicate Raviolas alla moda di Bellino, filled with a traditional Piedmontese filling and tender pasta fresca.
Potato gnocchi paired with melted butter and rich local cheese create a comforting and creamy main, while maltagliati pasta is served with an intensely flavored ragù made from quinto quarto di agnello—using the finest cuts of lamb and offal for an authentic taste.
The risotto with wild garlic (aglio orsino), delicately flavored seirass cheese, and a hint of lemon offers a fresh and zesty twist, balancing creamy texture with bright notes. For meat lovers, the tender veal cheek (guancia di vitella) is slow-cooked with aromatic spices and a house-made sauce that melts in your mouth.
Another standout is the Finanziera, a traditional Piedmontese specialty prepared from mixed offal, seasoned with spices and rich sauce, showcasing the kitchen’s skillful use of the entire animal to create complex flavors.
Desserts
