Bistrot Ca' Vittoria

The Casual Sibling of a Starred Kitchen

The Bistrot Ca' Vittoria occupies a 19th-century palazzo in Tigliole d'Asti — the informal sibling of the Michelin-starred Ca' Vittoria next door. The same care and the same sourcing philosophy underpin both, but the bistrot operates at a lower register: handmade pasta, house-baked desserts and a menu that is relaxed enough to eat from on a Tuesday without feeling that a special occasion is required. Gourmet pizza on Sunday evenings gives the kitchen an additional dimension that works well in the context.

The terrace faces the village piazza and is one of the better places to spend a summer evening in the territory — good food, local wine, and the particular atmosphere of a village piazza in the Astigiano as the light drops and the temperature falls. The connection to the starred kitchen next door guarantees a standard of sourcing and execution that most casual restaurants cannot replicate, and the pricing reflects the bistrot rather than the restaurant. Reservation recommended for weekends.
