The story
Gude Stub Casa Antica delivers authentic Italian cooking from one of the oldest buildings in Bühl, where the Alesi family has operated the kitchen since 2006. The establishment keeps its historic German moniker alongside the newer title to honour the building’s heritage while introducing original Mediterranean recipes. This steady approach earned a Schlemmer Atlas recognition in 2026, with judges awarding 2.5 spoons for the faithful use of traditional preparations. Daily market runs ensure that every plate reflects the same straightforward standards the owners established two decades ago.
The kitchen relies on durum wheat semolina sourced directly from Sicily alongside free range eggs and locally grown produce. The family guides the preparation of house made pasta and sourdough bread, treating each component as a foundation rather than an afterthought. Diners frequently order the reginette tossed with shrimp and crushed pistachios or the trapanese style fish couscous. Even the desserts follow the same disciplined approach to Italian cuisine, featuring candied lemons paired with white chocolate mousse.
Six separate stubes line the ground floor, each finished with exposed timber and equipped with traditional tile stoves. The layout allows guests to choose between a quiet corner for business discussions or a larger table for family gatherings. Sunlight spills onto the adjacent terrace during warmer months, extending the culinary atmosphere beyond the heavy wooden doors. Every room maintains a consistent focus on comfort without sacrificing the architectural character of the historic structure.
