The story
Just outside Borgomanero, in the quiet hamlet of Cureggio, La Capuccina is a working agriturismo that brings together the best of Piedmontese hospitality and contemporary cooking. The property, surrounded by the gentle hills of the Novara area, offers a pool, comfortable rooms, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming.
The kitchen focuses on Piedmontese cuisine with a modern touch, sourcing ingredients from the region and the estate itself. The menu changes with the seasons, and while the dishes are not listed in detail here, the emphasis is on clean flavours and local produce. The wine list is particularly interesting, featuring bottles from small Piedmontese producers alongside classic labels.
Dining takes place in a bright, airy space or outdoors on the terrace when the weather allows. The service is warm and professional, and the pace of the meal invites lingering. Michelin has recognised La Capuccina with a Recommendation for 2026, a nod to its consistent quality and the genuine sense of place it offers.
Open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday, and for lunch Saturday and Sunday, La Capuccina also accommodates large group bookings during the week upon request. The Sunday aperitivo is a local favourite. Whether you are staying overnight or simply passing through, this is a place to experience the flavours and hospitality of Piedmont without pretence.
