The story

Paolo Griffa al Caffè Nazionale – Michelin-Starred Italian Contemporary in Aosta

A historic venue, unconventionally reborn

In the heart of Aosta, the legendary Caffè Nazionale has been transformed into a multifaceted destination. Paolo Griffa al Caffè Nazionale is at once a Michelin-starred restaurant, a high-end pastry shop, a salon de thé, and a cocktail bar. The space itself is remarkable: an ancient decagonal chapel reimagined as a cathedral of taste, where guests can glimpse behind the scenes of a kitchen that earned a Michelin star for high quality cooking.

Creative cuisine, Valdostan soul

Chef Paolo Griffa is described as ironic, tenacious, and visionary, with a deep bond to the Aosta Valley that hosts him. Hungry for culture and endlessly curious, he works in constant search of new stimuli to season his creations. This Italian Contemporary cuisine draws directly from the territory, presented with a creative edge that has put Aosta on the fine dining map. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner, with an interesting wine list and wine pairing available.

Pastry art and beyond

The experience extends beyond the dining room. The pastry shop prepares fresh desserts daily, available to enjoy on site, take away, or order online for delivery anywhere in the world. The venue also caters events and offers breakfast, making it a complete destination from morning to night. For those who want to take a piece of the experience home, a shop sells chef's creations, including the Petit Royal Cookbook.
