The story

Cascina Lautier: Michelin-Recommended Country Cooking in Chieri, Turin

A farmhouse rooted in Piedmontese tradition

On the rolling hills of Chieri, just outside Turin, Cascina Lautier occupies a restored farmhouse where stone walls and wooden beams set the tone for an evening that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. The owners describe it as a place where “history and taste meet,” and the setting lives up to that promise: the property’s rustic architecture, the scent of the countryside drifting in through open windows, and an interior that favors understated elegance over showiness.

Cuisine that honours the land

The kitchen here is guided by a philosophy that blends Country Cooking with Modern Cuisine – an approach rooted in seasonal ingredients sourced from the surrounding region. Produce is chosen for its ripeness and flavour, then transformed into dishes that respect Piedmontese tradition while allowing room for creativity. The menu changes with the seasons, but the constant is a deep reverence for the territory: truffles, cheeses, meats, and vegetables from the hills and valleys around Chieri.

The chef crafts each plate as an “emotional journey,” according to the restaurant’s own words, aiming to tell stories of fertile land and skilled hands through every bite. Without inventing specifics, the emphasis is clearly on balance – between familiar, comforting flavours and unexpected twists that keep the meal interesting.

A setting that encourages lingering

Dinner at Cascina Lautier can be enjoyed in the main dining room or, during warmer months, outdoors on the terrace. The atmosphere is calm and intimate, appropriate for a quiet dinner for two or a small celebration. The restaurant also hosts weddings and private events, leveraging the natural beauty of the property and its panoramic views over the Chieri hills.

In 2026, Cascina Lautier earned a Michelin recommendation, a nod to the quality and consistency of its cooking. For diners seeking an authentic taste of Piedmont without the formality of a city-centre address, this farmhouse remains a local treasure – a place where the food, the setting, and the service work together to create a genuine sense of hospitality.
