La Cioca
About
La Cioca is a renowned alpine restaurant nestled in the picturesque village of Grange Sises, just 3 km from the ski hub of Sestriere in the Piedmont region of Italy. The brasserie is famed for its authentic mountain cuisine, offering a menu that blends traditional Swiss and French specialties such as pierrade, raclette, fondue, Bourguignonne, and polenta, all cooked on the table or on a stone slab to create a convivial dining experience. Visitors are welcomed in a rustic yet sophisticated setting that highlights the region’s culinary heritage, with a focus on quality, freshness, and locally sourced ingredients following a “km‑zero” philosophy. Open daily in the evenings from 7:30 p.m. to close, with lunch service exclusively on Sundays and by request on Saturdays. The restaurant boasts free parking at the village entrance and caters to guests with dietary considerations, offering gluten‑free and vegetarian options, as well as accommodations for children and wheelchair access. Reservations are recommended for lunch on busy days, while dinner can be enjoyed on a walk‑in basis. Beyond its culinary appeal, La Cioca provides an idyllic backdrop for guests seeking a cozy mountain escape, especially during the ski season. Its warm ambience, friendly service, and the opportunity to savor hand‑made fondue and raclette right at the table make it a standout dining destination for both foodies and families alike.
