Alessandro Mecca Al Castello - Grinzane Cavour (CN)











The Al Castello restaurant, now in the hands of renowned chef Alessandro Mecca, is located inside the splendid Grinzane Cavour Castle, a beautifully preserved 13th-century fortress with an imposing rectangular plan, which also houses the Piedmont Regional Wine Cellar Cavour and the Langhe Museum with Cavourian memorabilia.


The castle is located in a panoramic position, with a wonderful viewpoint surrounded by hills and vineyards.

Crossing the walls, one reaches the courtyard overlooking the restaurant and cafeteria.

The restaurant's large dining room is characterized by its old terracotta floors, stone walls, beautiful wooden coffered ceilings and large round tables that are well spaced.


At Alessandro Mecca's Ristorante al Castello we tasted excellent, elegant, measured and balanced dishes in an impressive setting.
We appreciate Alessandro Mecca's technique, attention to preparation, choice of raw materials and taste for presentation.
