Bourgeois Cuisine, Built on Culture
Chef Enrico Gerli has led I Castagni since 1989, turning a family farmhouse in the Vigevano countryside into a dining destination with a Michelin star. Self-taught, with a sommelier diploma and a deep love for craft, he developed his style through instinct, discipline, and later stages in starred kitchens. His cooking is anchored in Lombardy and guided by flavour, precision, and a clear preference for quality over complexity. Fish plays a refined role on the menu, alongside classic local dishes handled with confidence.
“I describe my cooking as bourgeois cuisine with a strong gastronomic culture.”

Restaurant I Castagni sits in the quiet countryside outside Vigevano, inside a family farmhouse renovated with real care by chef Enrico Gerli. Antique furniture and paintings by local artists give the rooms the feel of a private home, warm and composed. At the table, you’ll find classic local cooking shaped by precise technique, with measured creative touches and a refined focus on fish. Add a deep wine cellar and genuine hosting, and it becomes a place people return to.
