The story
Osteria da Nando sits on pedestrian-only via Sant'Anselmo in Aosta, a location that has been its home since 1957. The Scarpa family runs the restaurant, maintaining the high tradition of this local institution while letting the kitchen evolve.
The restaurant’s roots run deep in the city’s historic centre. The Scarpa family has kept Osteria da Nando true to its origins for decades, balancing a respect for tradition with a willingness to adapt. Their approach is straightforward: use fresh products, sourced from the local territory whenever possible, and prepare every dish at the moment of ordering.
The kitchen focuses on Italian cuisine that reflects the flavours of the Aosta Valley. The family describes their cooking as always evolving, yet anchored in the quality of fresh, seasonal ingredients. There is no rush – plates are prepared to order, a commitment that speaks to the kitchen’s dedication rather than speed.
In 2026, the Michelin guide added Osteria da Nando to its selection of recommended restaurants. The nod from Michelin confirms what regulars have known for years: this is a place where genuine hospitality and solid Italian cooking come together without fanfare. It is a simple, honest address – and that is precisely its strength.
