Borghetto La Radice, where every meal becomes a celebration

Some restaurants impress you with technique. Others stay with you because of the way they make you feel. Borghetto La Radice manages to do both.

Hidden among the rolling hills of Piemonte, this charming countryside restaurant is one of those places you almost want to keep a secret. Surrounded by nature and far from the crowds, it offers an experience that is as much about the setting as it is about the food.

Behind the kitchen is a chef whose career once took him through Michelin-starred restaurants. Today, he has chosen a different path. Rather than chasing stars, he follows the seasons. Much of what appears on your plate is grown just steps away in his own vegetable garden, where each ingredient is harvested at the perfect moment. The result is a cuisine that feels honest, refined and deeply connected to the land.

Every dish reflects both remarkable craftsmanship and genuine simplicity. Flavours are pure, beautifully balanced and never overcomplicated. The vegetables are the stars as often as the meat or fish, reminding you that exceptional cooking begins with exceptional ingredients.

Dining at Borghetto La Radice is not simply about eating well, it is about slowing down and allowing yourself to savour every moment. Courses arrive at an unhurried pace, conversations flow effortlessly, and each plate feels like a small work of art. Before you know it, several hours have passed, yet it never feels long enough.

For us, every visit is a celebration. Not because of a special occasion, but because places like this deserve to be celebrated. They remind us that true luxury isn't about extravagance; it's about authenticity, passion and the privilege of sharing an extraordinary meal with the people around your table.

For guests of Villa Augustin, Borghetto La Radice is one of those unforgettable culinary experiences that perfectly captures the spirit of Piemonte. A place where exceptional food, beautiful surroundings and heartfelt hospitality come together in perfect harmony.

Because sometimes the most memorable journeys begin with a reservation for lunch.
