The story
In the quiet town of Sizzano, Impero offers a straightforward, genuine take on Piedmontese cuisine. The restaurant’s Michelin Bib Gourmand award – given for good quality, good value cooking – signals a place where the kitchen respects tradition without unnecessary fuss. The setting is simple and comfortable, with air conditioning for warm days and outdoor seating for those who prefer to dine al fresco.
The Bib Gourmand is a mark of reliable, affordable dining. For Impero, it reflects a commitment to the flavours of the region – think robust wines, local cheeses, and earth-driven dishes that speak of the Piedmontese landscape. While the menu changes with the seasons, the philosophy remains constant: honest cooking that lets the ingredients lead. It’s the kind of restaurant you seek out when you want to eat well, without pretence.
