ADAGIO awarded
"Due Forcette"
by Gambero Rosso
We are delighted to announce that ADAGIO ristorante gourmet has been awarded a magnificent "Due Forchette" by the prestigious Gambero Rosso Restaurant Guide - one of Italy’s most respected and influential dining guides. Considered Italy’s equivalent to the Michelin Guide, it focuses on a distinctly Italian perspective and with a broader focus on local culinary culture.
Being listed is a mark of prestige in Italy’s restaurant world, signalling excellence in Italian culinary tradition, innovation, and hospitality, and we are beyond thrilled!
The award of Due Forchette is in recognition of strong techniques by our chef and our elevated service and wine selection, and an overall high-quality dining experience targeting Italy’s elite tier restaurants.
Led by chef Mario Maniscalco, ADAGIO offers cuisine rooted in local tradition, reworked with grace and creative touches.
Fresh seasonal cuisine
in the slow-food spirit
Our menu is an intriguing combination of traditional Piedmontese dishes, revisited in a modern key and mixed with the chef's Sicilian roots and spiced up by international experiences.
Our menu is built on a strong foundation of local products marked by the slow food presidium – from the Fassona meat, to products that got forgotten over the years, which we bring back as the stars of the menu such as the Riso Gigante di Vercelli.
Our pasta and pastry are all freshly prepared in our kitchen with the best local ingredients. Our flour comes from a mill less than 500 meters away.​
Furthermore, our exemplary wine cellar features a range of local and regional Italian wines, as well as carefully selected international wines, offering a comprehensive selection to suit all interests and budgets.​
​

​
In addition to our dining room we offer an adjacent dining hall, perfect for events and ceremonies. Also check out our cosy Sky Garden, for an all-year-round immersion in nature.
​
For wine lovers, our Enoteca and wine cellar are dedicated to guided wine tastings, offering you a wide range of wines from the territory, but also an interesting selection of wines from all over Italy and selected international suppliers.
