Seasonal Piedmont cooking
Chef Massimo Milan cooks from the Piedmontese repertoire, then pushes it further with combinations that stay precise and grounded. The menu follows the seasons and the ingredients of the area, with rice dishes as a clear signature, including the courgette flower risotto that many guests come specifically to eat. Alongside the classics, you’ll find bolder choices and less expected flavours, handled with control rather than noise. It’s cooking that feels generous and fully formed, with the kind of balance that keeps you interested from first course to last.
Wine, chosen at the table
Wine is treated with the same care as the food. The cellar is extensive and ranges from established names to bottles from emerging producers, with a mix that can move from local Piedmont to wider Italian and international labels. In the dining room, the Milan family guides the selection in a practical, guest-led way, so pairings feel personal rather than prescribed. If you enjoy spending time on the wine side of the meal, this is one of the reasons to book.
In the rice countryside
Borgo Vercelli sits a few kilometres from the city of Vercelli, in the heart of the province’s flat, open rice fields. This is the landscape that defines the local table, especially the rice dishes that the area is known for. Arriving here means driving through quiet agricultural roads and long stretches of paddies that change with the season. It’s a fitting setting for an osteria where the cooking is seasonal and where a risotto can be the main reason for the trip.
A small room, done well
Part of the appeal of Osteria Cascina dei Fiori is the scale. There are only a few tables, spaced well, with a level of care that shows in the details, the timing, and the way the dining room stays attentive without becoming formal. The atmosphere is rustic and elegant at once, and it suits different kinds of evenings, from a quiet dinner for two to a longer meal built around rice dishes and wine. It feels like a place that has earned its reputation over time.
“A risotto worth the trip.”
