Convivium

Malaspina Bistrot is located in Volpedo, land of production of Peaches and Strawberries, included in the circuit of the Most Beautiful Villages of Italy.

Chef Claudia Colla prepares with taste and technique dishes that are appreciated for their combinations and for the absolute quality of raw materials. The wine cellar prepared by Efrem Saggia is a real hymn to Colli Tortonesi, with producers ...
