Ristorante Ca' Vittoria - Tigliole d'Asti (AT)











You can read about Ca' Vittoria and its refined hospitality in our extensive report in lemilleUnanotte; here we will deal only with the restaurant.
The large solid-wood portal facing the main street is framed by exposed brickwork.


Already upon entering you will be struck by the elegant and atmospheric interior, with polished grit floors and vaulted brick ceilings.

The first room, soon to be transformed into a cozy living room, serves as an antechamber from which to watch the kitchen at work. At the back stands a magnificent Austrian imperial sideboard from the late 1700s.


The new dining room is a vast, bright veranda played on the contrast between light tones and the wooden coffered ceiling.

Niches with natural lichens stand out there.

When we talk about Ca' Vittoria, one cannot help but recall a past of three generations united by the same passion and the sole desire to approach perfection.

It was a traditional and curated cuisine that could also boast as a feather in its cap a service for Pope Karol Wojtyla on the occasion of an exposition of the Holy Shroud in Turin.

Massimiliano Musso, a modern and trained chef, has transformed his legacy into a contemporary Haute Cuisine Restaurant with the use of the most advanced cooking techniques, vacuum and osmosis, experimentation with fermentations and many oriental touches, for a very high-profile result.
