The story

Massimo Camia – Michelin-Starred Modern Piedmontese Cuisine in Narzole, Italy

A Star in the Langhe

In the rolling hills of the Langhe, at Località Fornaci 17 in Novello, Massimo Camia brings a distinctly modern sensibility to Piedmontese cuisine. The restaurant, which holds a Michelin star for high quality cooking, is the expression of Chef Massimo Camia’s deep connection to the land and his craft. The dining room is part of Locanda Camia, a small lodging that invites guests to extend their experience beyond the table.

The Kitchen and the Land

The cooking here is rooted in the Piedmontese tradition, yet presented with a contemporary lightness and precision. Chef Camia works with the finest local ingredients—truffles, cheeses, meats, and vegetables from the region—to create dishes that speak of place without being bound by it. The cuisine is defined as both modern and Piedmontese, a balance that allows the chef to reinterpret classics while honoring their origins.

The atmosphere is one of understated elegance: a refined setting that lets the food and the landscape take center stage. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating, perfect for warm evenings among the vineyards, and an interesting wine list that draws from the region’s legendary cellars.

Beyond the Plate

For those who wish to linger, Locanda Camia offers a genuine taste of Langhe hospitality. Special packages include a “Bike with the Chef” experience, combining an e-bike tour with gourmet tastings and a night at the locanda. Whether you come for the Michelin-starred meal or stay for the sweeping views, Massimo Camia delivers a quiet, confident expression of modern Piedmontese cuisine.
