Cravero - Osteria Contemporanea

Cravero Osteria Contemporanea, established in 1984 by chef Gianpiero Cravero in Caltignaga, Italy, presents a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Piedmontese cuisine. The restaurant underwent a thorough restyling in 2019, adopting its current name to reflect the fusion of local heritage and modern culinary approach rooted in Cravero’s family tradition dating back to 1955. The cuisine highlights seasonal and local Novara products, including salumi, Gorgonzola, Toma cheeses, and characteristic dishes such as salam d’la duja, Fidighin, Paniscia, Tapulone, and fresh homemade pasta. The wine list spotlights local selections and champagne, complemented by a corkage option allowing guests to bring their own bottles. The restaurant’s interior blends a refined 1950s-inspired style with ochre and ottanio tones, geometric wallpapers, velvet, and wood furnishings. Dining spaces include a main room and private salon with garden views, where outdoor events take place in warm seasons. Cravero Osteria also accommodates private and corporate events with tailored menus and wine pairings, backed by the culinary expertise of chef Cravero and his team. The adjoining Cravero Rooms hotel provides lodging, while a delivery service offers seasonal à la carte options and complete menus for celebrations, alongside professional off-site catering services.
