Tastings & Restaurants

Maybe not everyone knows but the best DOP gorgonzola cheese is produced near our Motel. And what about the Nebbiolo wineries of the Novarese Hills or the prestigious Gattinara? And why not treat yourself to the luxury of a star-studded dinner? At the Piranha you can!

Crola Winery

A journey of discovery of Piedmont’s Nebbiolo. One of the region’s iconic grape varieties, which find quality and structure in this terroir.

Our concierge will be happy to arrange tours and winery visits. Among the best we suggest the Enrico Crola winery to taste its Gattinara.

Vitti Brothers Rice Mill

The Orfengo area is also famous for rice cultivation. For those of you who have stayed with us before, you will certainly have noticed the rice fields that dot the fields around the Motel and color the surroundings as the seasons go by.
Among the area’s finest, we highlight the award-winning Vitti Brothers rice mill. Our concierge is available to arrange tastings at the area’s best restaurants or visits to the farm.

Gorgonzola

One of the best-known cheeses in Italy and around the world that has found even Churchill to be one of its illustrious admirers. The Orfengo area, not many people know, is also an area of production of some of the best gorgonzola in Italy.

A tradition that finds in Mario Costa one of its main exponents with its more than one hundred years of history. The dairy bases its raison d’être on absolute quality.

Also next to the manufacturing plant is a commissary that has been delighting locals and tourists since 1932.
Ask our concierge to arrange a tour or tasting!

Borgo Antico Restaurant

A traditional restaurant a stone’s throw from the Piranha Motel, with outdoor tables and also suitable for small receptions, it offers the best of Piedmontese cuisine. From fassona tartare to vitello tonnato to homemade plin. A true journey into the taste and flavors of the region’s typical dishes. Service is attentive and courteous. Interesting wine list in which Piedmont predominates but with forays into the regions of Italy (mostly northern) and Franciacorta for bubbles.

Osteria Cascina dei Fiori

Osteria Cascina dei Fiori is a “Michelin Plate” restaurant of traditional local cuisine. There is no shortage of innovative proposals in a rustic-elegant setting. Until 2000 the restaurant was also awarded the prestigious Michelin star. Run by brothers Massimo and Paolo, it has a menu that fairly balances meat and fish proposals. Risotto is the master, and in the wine cellar interesting proposals also from small producers.

Cannavacciuolo Café & Bistrot

Along with the one in Turin, it is one of the spin-offs of the famous Antonino Cannavacciuolo, 2 Michelin stars of the Villa Crespi restaurant on Lake Orta.

In the elegant but informal setting of the Novara bistro-a recipient of 1 Michelin star-we find Vincenzo Manicone, for 4 years in the brigade at the chef’s main restaurant, in the kitchen. The menu unfolds nimbly in two tasting proposals, of 5 and 7 courses respectively, with the possibility of wine pairings, in addition to the carte. The cuisine is solid – as in Cannavacciuolo’s style – with always recognizable flavors in which the combination of elegance and technique predominates.
Reservations are strongly suggested.
