Ristorante Frosio
About
Ristorante Frosio invites guests to experience a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary Italian cuisine. Nestled in a 17th‑century villa that once belonged to the celebrated Blondel family, the restaurant boasts classic architecture juxtaposed with modern décor, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. The dining rooms feature four cozy salons, each warmed by an old fireplace, while a discreet, shaded garden overlooks the kitchen, making it an ideal spot for al fresco lunches or romantic evenings. The menu marries Mediterranean flavors with local produce, and chefs Paolo and Camillo Frosio—supported by their spouses—present dishes that celebrate seasonal ingredients and traditional techniques. An understated 13th‑century tower houses a fully stocked cellar, offering a unique setting for wine tasting and quiet conversations. Guests will discover a menu that ranges from thoughtfully paired lunch specials (€25 during weekdays, €30 on Saturdays) to an indulgent tasting menu, "Menù Degustazione," priced at €80 for seafood courses and €75 for land courses, plus desserts starting at €10. Reservations are encouraged, as the family‑owned establishment is a staple for both locals and visitors seeking authentic Italian culinary experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned food aficionado, a history enthusiast, or a traveler in search of a charming backdrop to dine, Ristorante Frosio provides an all‑day dining experience rooted in family tradition, sophisticated ambiance, and exquisite craftsmanship.
