Home cooking,in the woodsabove the lake.
A family trattoria in Gignese. Piedmontese plates, local produce, and a dining room that stays warm all winter.
A bottle, a table, and no fuss.
"Buteglia" is Piedmontese for bottle. It is the name we chose and the way we work: simple things, done properly, served without ceremony.
We cook what the market and the season give us. The menu changes every month because what we find changes — not because it is fashionable.
You eat well when you eat what there is.
We roll the pasta by hand, every morning.
Nothing frozen, nothing bought in ready-made. We mix it, roll it, cut it — and it goes to the table that evening.

Every month, we start again.
Starters, pasta and mains change with the season. The current menu is below, always up to date.
Somewhere the children can run.
Our garden has lawn, the shade of the fir trees, and a play area. The grown-ups finish their coffee slowly while the little ones play where everyone can see them.

On the hillside, minutes from Stresa.
We are in Gignese, in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, a short drive from Lake Maggiore and the Golf Club Alpino.
