Parco del Bric Ristorante

Sweeping Alpine Views Above Cocconato

Panoramic dining at the Parco del Bric — on a clear day the view sweeps across the Monferrato hills and up to the full Alpine arc from Monte Rosa to the Dolomites, the mountains rising above the flat Pianura Padana in a display that makes the lunch table feel like the best possible vantage point in the territory. The hilltop position above Cocconato gives the restaurant one of the more commanding settings in the Astigiano, and the kitchen makes the most of the territory's seasonal ingredients rather than competing with the view for attention.

A seasonal menu celebrating the best of the Astigiano — agnolotti, braised meats, local cheeses and vegetables — served in a setting that invites lingering. One of those lunches that extends well past the planned departure time because the conversation, the wine and the view conspire against the clock. Fifteen minutes from Bric del Vento, making it an easy and natural choice for a special lunch during any stay. Reservation recommended.
