Lunch “at the aunt’s”

The name recalls family Sundays announced with “tomorrow we’re eating at the aunt’s”. Dalla Zia opened in 2022 in a 19th-century building in the centre of Giaveno, the gateway to the Val Sangone about half an hour west of Turin.

Expect Piedmontese classics, fresh pasta made in house, local wines and, when the season allows, porcini from the valley. Sixty seats inside under brick vaults, twenty outside in summer.
