The story

Antica Trattoria Giovanelli – Traditional Country Cooking in Agazzano, Italy

Three Generations of Piacentina Tradition

In the rolling green hills of Val Luretta, near Agazzano, the Giovanelli brothers carry forward a family legacy that spans three generations. At Antica Trattoria Giovanelli, the kitchen honours the authentic flavours of Piacentina country cooking – a style rooted in the produce of Piacenza and Emilia. Every ingredient is fresh, seasonal, and sourced exclusively from local producers.

Atmosphere and Setting

The trattoria sits in the hamlet of Sarturano, surrounded by quiet countryside. In summer, guests can dine under a gazebo outdoors; the interior is air-conditioned and welcoming. The restaurant also offers a bar, private party spaces, and a small shop where wines and cured meats can be purchased. Ample parking makes it an easy stop for those exploring the region.

Cuisine That Speaks of Home

The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting the rhythms of the local land. Dishes are prepared with the same care taught by the family elders – the result is Italian country cooking that tastes of history. Michelin has recognised this consistency and authenticity, awarding the trattoria a Recommended status for 2026. It is a place where the flavours of tradition remain alive, plate after plate.
