Ristorante Quintilio

Restaurant Quintilio

At Restaurant Quintilio, history sits quietly in the background of everyday service. Since 1869, five generations of the same family have looked after this former posting station in the Val Bormida, the border area between Liguria and Piedmont. The house has kept its original character, with hospitality shaped by the seasons, long-standing local relationships and the kind of continuity you only get over time. JRE chef Luca Bazzano’s cooking follows the same line. Meat, cheeses, flours and rice come from small producers, vegetables from the family garden, while bread and focaccia are made in house. Zero-kilometre sourcing is a deliberate choice here, tied to the identity of the Val Bormida and translated into clear flavours, balance and authenticity.

The fifth generation of Ristorante Quintilio management is led by chef Luca Bazzano.  Luca has committed himself fully to the philosophy of trying to recreate traditional recipes. The chef does so by reinterpreting them and using new methods of processing and cooking, allowing him to utilize the best possible raw materials from the area.

Restaurant Quintilio

Here, chef Luca Bazzano is the fifth generation who runs the kitchen, and with him, an incredible increase in quality has come to the restaurant. A lot of local products are used here, including some from Piedmont, but the chef stays within his roots yet with a modern reinterpretation.

Ristorante Quintilio’s cuisine

The terroir-based cuisine of restaurant Quintilio is built on the seasonality of the ingredients. The constants of land, territory, and tradition are the ingredients chef Luca Bazzano uses to prepare his dishes.  Every day, the kitchen team prepares fresh bread, made with selected flours, stone ground and with authentic yeast. The restaurant’s famous focaccia with Ligurian extra virgin olive oil draws diners from near and far. All the fresh pasta is handmade in the kitchen as well: from the delicate raviolini al plin and tortelli di toma Brigasca to the traditional tagliolini with thirty egg yolks, fettuccine with nettles, and gnocchi with Calizzano potatoes. Diners can choose from the extensive à la carte menu, or the 5-course tasting menu. Specialties include risotto “Riserva San Massimo” with peppers and light anchovy sauce, Cervella, grains and sweet fried semolina; and the rabbit alla Maria Luigia with Ligurian aromatic herbs, Taggiasca olives, capers, and pine nuts.
