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.

The Acquamatta restaurant is located among the rice fields of Lomellina, inside a magnificently restored 1827 mill, surrounded by the protected landscape of the ZPS (Special Protection Area of ​​the Lomellina Rice Fields).

Agua Bistro' del Mare was born in 2009 from an offshoot of "La Via Romana", where chef Pino Franzé had obtained the coveted Michelin star. The first location in the Sant'Ampelio bathing establishment was subsequently moved to the beautiful seaside promenade, which today it overlooks with a pleasant terrace. The interiors are divided into a single airy room, with modern furnishings and marble floors. The terrace with sea view is a fundamental resource during the summer. Pino Franzé's is a very fresh fish cuisine, treated with simplicity, harmony and elegance: tasty, rich and inviting dishes, which satisfy the appetite and invite you to return. A cuisine made with the use of impeccable but also accessible quality materials, a reflection of the daily availability of the market and the fish. Also on this occasion we awarded Agua Bistro' del Mare the 2025 Convivium parchment which attests to its excellence in the quality of its cuisine and hosp...
