It was here, in 1895, that Luigi Lavazza opened a grocer’s shop and immediately began blending coffee. Today, the same establishment is home to a modern restaurant serving excellent cuisine, led by a chef from Le Marche who offers one of the city’s most convincing interpretations of Piedmontese gastronomy, often revisited with a creative touch. Among the dishes, the carousel of starters is truly not to be missed, as is the white truffle (when in season).

A chef of Albanian origin, who in his restaurant’s name proudly acknowledges the complex journey that brought him to Italy, delivers a cuisine that seamlessly blends memory and modernity.
