Local dishes from Novara's culinary heritage, prepared at your home

Dining in Novara means experiencing noble Piedmontese, truffle country cuisine at its most authentic. Piedmont's Langhe hills are a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a landscape of vineyards producing Italy's most noble reds. In autumn, the white truffle season transforms Alba into the world's truffle capital, with prices reaching thousands per kilo. Our chefs in Novara work exclusively with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients — from Robiola di Roccaverano to Castelmagno cheese — crafting menus that might include panna cotta, bagna cauda, or vitello tonnato. This is cuisine rooted in place, not just plated for presentation.

What to expect from your private chef experience

When you book a private chef in Novara, you're choosing the most authentic way to experience Piedmont's cuisine. Your experience begins when your chef arrives at your accommodation with the day's finest ingredients from Piedmont's local markets and producers. After a welcome drink and a chat about your preferences, the magic starts. Imagine Langhe hilltop estates with vineyard views, historic Torinese palazzi, lakeside villas on Maggiore and Orta, candlelit cellars in wine country — while your chef prepares a bespoke multi-course menu. You might start with a light appetizer, move through handmade pasta like fritto misto alla piemontese, enjoy a main such as finanziera, and finish with bagna cauda. Each course is paired with wines like Barolo or Gavi. Your chef handles everything: cooking, plating, serving, and a spotless kitchen at the end. In Novara, every private chef experience is as unique as the location itself — no two evenings are ever the same.

Can I book a private chef for my villa rental in Novara?

Absolutely. A large share of our Novara bookings happen in villa rentals and private apartments. The chef brings all ingredients and equipment, cooks in your accommodation kitchen and leaves the space spotless. It is the most popular format among international guests.

Can the chef accommodate dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, kosher) in Novara?

Yes. Every menu is fully customizable. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, pescatarian, kosher-style and allergy-safe menus are available. Specify dietary requirements during booking and the chef will design a menu tailored to your table.
