Il Patio

A charming restaurant occupying an old stable, with a shaded terrace where guests can dine alfresco overlooking the garden. One of the most popular restaurants in the region, Il Patio owes its success first and foremost to its cuisine, closely followed by its impeccable and highly professional service. Owner-chef Sergio Vineis is at the helm in the kitchen, ably assisted by his son Simone, producing dishes which showcase local produce with a dash of creativity. Carefully chosen and extensive wine selection, including a few unpredictable choices.

• Set in converted stables with a garden-facing terrace, a classic destination dining room for the Biella area.
• Kitchen is led by chef-owner Sergio Vineis alongside his son, Simone, with a style that keeps local produce at the centre and technique in the background.
• Wine list is described as extensive and deliberately unpredictable, with service treated as part of the meal.
