One family, one kitchen

Eighty years ago Luigi Amarotto, Piero's father, opened his first pastry oven: that is where the family's tradition, passion and trade began. Today Piero Amarotto and his family welcome guests on Via Cavour, with strictly seasonal cooking made to order from local produce.

Fresh pasta and desserts are made in house, by hand. In 2022 his story became a book: "Piero Amarotto. Il gusto per la vita, una vita per il gusto" by Roberto Tentoni.

Barbaresco and Barolo bottles from the cellar

Barbera, Nebbiolo, Barolo

The wine list picks the best labels of the area: Monferrato Barbera, the local red from the hills around Casale, next to the great Nebbiolo reds, Barbaresco and Barolo.

The right bottle for a bollito, a bagna cauda, or for staying at the table a little longer.

Casale's old town is on the doorstep: the Cathedral of Sant'Evasio, the Renaissance synagogue, arcaded streets and cafes selling the town's krumiri biscuits. A natural stop for a long Piedmontese lunch between sights.
