The story

Darmagi – Michelin-Recommended Piedmontese Restaurant in Mercenasco, Strambino

Ristorante Darmagi

On the green hills of Mercenasco, just outside Strambino, a gracious villa with a summer garden and private parking houses one of the Canavese region’s dining treasures. Darmagi is a place where rustic charm meets refined elegance – the interiors are decorated with taste, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels both familiar and special.

The kitchen stays rooted in the great Piedmontese tradition. Homemade pasta is a daily affair: traditional agnolotti sit alongside inventive “scrigni ripieni” (stuffed scrigni). Classic dishes like fritto misto and carne cruda tagliata a coltello are never absent from the menu, prepared with the skill that the Canavese’s best ingredients deserve. For celebrations, the team also bakes custom cakes for anniversaries, communions, baptisms, birthdays, and weddings.

Darmagi’s commitment to authentic Piedmontese cuisine has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026 – a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s reputation as a local pearl. Whether you dine indoors in the cozy, refined rooms or outdoors in the summer garden, you’ll experience a cuisine that honours tradition while leaving room for creativity.
