The story

L'Archivolto - Osteria Nostrale: Piedmontese Fine Dining in Ovada, Italy

L'Archivolto - Osteria Nostrale

Since 1999, L'Archivolto - Osteria Nostrale in Ovada has been a destination for those seeking the authentic flavours of Piedmont. The restaurant is a world dedicated to hospitality, where three distinct experiences converge under one roof, earning it a place in the prestigious Michelin Guide.

The heart of the operation is L’Osteria, where tradition and innovation meet. Here, chefs Claudio and Sebastiano guide the kitchen, crafting dishes that celebrate the essence of Piedmontese cuisine. Their philosophy is rooted in respect for the land and its rhythms, sourcing only the finest raw ingredients. Every plate reflects the seasonality and richness of the local territory, transforming nature’s bounty into creations that honour both tradition and the perfect cycle of the seasons.

Beyond the osteria, the experience expands. La Cantina offers a journey through wine excellence, with over 1,000 labels to choose from, paired with a menu that blends contemporary flavours with traditional roots. A third project, La Brace, is in development, set to celebrate the authentic taste of quality meat alongside a refined selection of drinks.

The atmosphere is one of refined elegance and conviviality. Every detail is designed to create an unforgettable experience, where guests feel at home. As the team puts it, “Every guest is an opportunity to create a unique experience, where every moment becomes unforgettable.” This commitment to detail and passion for the territory is what makes L'Archivolto a standout in the Piedmontese dining scene.
