The story
Faletta 1881 is the restaurant at Cascina Faletta, a family-run estate in the rolling hills of Casale Monferrato, Piedmont. The property has been in operation since 1881, rooted in a tradition of hospitality, winemaking, and passion for the land. Today, it offers a complete experience: a restaurant, wine cellar, and rooms for overnight stays.
The restaurant’s kitchen focuses on contemporary Piedmontese cuisine, drawing from the rich culinary heritage of the region while embracing modern techniques. Dishes are built around seasonal ingredients, many sourced from the estate’s own gardens and local producers. The result is a menu that respects tradition but feels fresh and inventive—a philosophy that earned Faletta 1881 a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026.
Wine is integral to the experience. Cascina Faletta produces its own labels—Braja, La Pignola, Indelebile Monferace, and others—using grapes grown on the property. Guests can enjoy these wines paired with their meal, or book a dedicated tasting to explore the cellar. The restaurant’s sommelier guides diners through selections that complement the contemporary Piedmontese dishes.
Faletta 1881 is more than a restaurant. The estate offers a range of experiences: e-bike excursions through the UNESCO-listed Monferrato landscape, art and culinary tours, and yoga sessions set in the vineyards. For those who wish to stay, the rooms—named Timpano, Terrazza, Nonna Gemma, and others—provide a comfortable base for exploring the region.
The team at Faletta 1881 describes their offering as “a unique sensorial experience.” With its blend of refined dining, estate-grown wines, and a deep connection to the Piedmontese countryside, it is a destination for anyone seeking authentic, contemporary Piedmontese cuisine in a setting that honors the past while looking forward.
