The story

Gina casa con cucina – Modern Italian Contemporary in Aosta, Michelin Recommended

In the heart of Aosta, steps from the Roman ruins, Gina casa con cucina is a family affair where local ingredients meet global influences. Chef Corrado Michelazzo, who earned his first Michelin star in 2004 at Petit Restaurant in Cogne, spent thirteen years cooking in Shanghai and Hong Kong before returning to the mountains of the Aosta Valley. At Gina, he channels that breadth of experience into Italian contemporary cuisine that is both personal and precise.

The restaurant describes itself as a place where “local ingredients and global influences meet,” and the cooking reflects that dual identity. Michelazzo’s mantra is “a story of family, a story of love” — he has been creating dishes with uncompromising creativity since his youth. The result is a menu built on constant research into the quality of raw materials, with plates that feel both rooted in the valley and open to the world.

The setting is intimate and welcoming — a “casa” in the truest sense. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with outdoor seating available in warmer months, Gina also accommodates private events. The dining room is unpretentious, letting the food and the warmth of the room speak. Michelin recognised the restaurant with a Recommended rating in the 2026 guide, a nod to the consistent, thoughtful modern cuisine served here.
