The story

Osteria Il Bagatto, Limone Piemonte: Modern Piedmontese Cuisine

A Mountain Osteria with a Modern Touch

In the heart of Limone Piemonte, Osteria Il Bagatto is a small restaurant where wood and stone create a warm, mountain atmosphere. Chef Luciano Gautero leads the kitchen, offering a cuisine that is modern and refined, rooted in Piedmontese tradition but with occasional influences from nearby Liguria.

Seasonal Ingredients, Precise Execution

Gautero’s dishes show a careful balance of substance and form. The menu changes with the seasons, highlighting local produce. Starters such as vitello rosa – slow-cooked veal with tuna sauce – and fassona tartare with mayonnaise and radish set a precise tone. Among the primi, tagliatelle with mountain pesto and larch buds, and gnocchi with Roccaverano toma and bay leaf extract speak to the territory. Main courses include braised veal cheek with glazed fennel and roast guinea fowl with spring salad. Desserts, like a Paris-Brest with almond cream and apricot jam, close the meal on a refined note.

A Michelin-Selected Address

Osteria Il Bagatto has been selected for the Michelin Guide Italy 2026, a recognition that reflects the consistency of its cooking and the clarity of its vision. It is a place where the mountains meet the plate, and where tradition is gently reshaped by a chef who knows his ingredients.
