The story

Marsupino 1901: Four Generations of Piedmontese Hospitality in Mondovì

A Family Legacy

Trattoria Marsupino 1901 sits in the small village of Briaglia, just outside Mondovì, in the heart of Piedmont. For four generations, the same family has run this welcoming establishment, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The name "Marsupino" has been synonymous with hospitality since 1901, when the trattoria first opened its doors. Today, it remains a place where guests are greeted with warmth and professionalism—"calore e cortesia," as the family puts it.

The interior strikes a balance between traditional and contemporary, with a style that the family describes as "rustic yet comfortable." An adjacent 19th-century building houses a few elegant rooms for those wishing to stay overnight.

Cuisine and Wine

At the helm of the kitchen are chefs Piervincenzo and Matteo, who together craft a menu that honors Piedmontese tradition while embracing modern touches. The restaurant's philosophy centers on the highest quality ingredients, many sourced from their own garden (orto). The result is dishes that are both elegant and deeply flavorful.

The "Menù della tradizione" offers a four-course journey through classics, such as the agnolotti del plin filled with three roasts and served with a dark veal jus, or the Gianbonetto—a free-range chicken thigh stuffed with peas, carrots, and artisanal veal sausage. For a more adventurous path, "La scelta di Pier e Matte" presents a multi-course tasting menu that explores the territory and beyond, paired with five wines selected by Luca.

The wine cellar is a point of pride: about 800 labels from Italy and around the world, making Marsupino a destination for wine lovers. Whether you prefer a classic Nebbiolo or a Champagne, the list is carefully curated.

Recognition

The quality and consistency of Marsupino 1901 have not gone unnoticed. The trattoria holds a Michelin Recommended distinction, a testament to its commitment to excellent Piedmontese cuisine and genuine hospitality.

Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the experience is one of understated elegance and sincere welcome—a true reflection of the family's four-generation legacy.
