La Rei Natura by Michelangelo Mammoliti

At this restaurant, the young yet already experienced Piedmontese chef (who also has Calabrian origins) offers three tasting menus. Dishes are also available à la carte style on two of these – “ Emozioni” (which features creative dishes inspired by childhood memories and flavours) and “Voyage” (ingredients, recipes and influences from the chef’s experience working around the world, including a delicious mango and coconut dessert). The third, Mad100% Natura, is a blind tasting menu on which the chef demonstrates his love and passion for his ingredients with real creativity. Most of his vegetables are sourced from local biodynamic gardens and greenhouses. On our last visit, we particularly enjoyed the courgettes “alla beccafico”, spaghetti with tomato sauce in honour of Nonna Tita, and the vegetable pizza served as a dessert. The high quality of the cuisine is equalled by the impressive selection of wines.

• Three menu tracks define the restaurant, Emozione for memory-led dishes, Voyage for global influences, and MAD100% Natura as a blind tasting.
• A garden and greenhouse supply chain is not a side note, it is the structural base for the vegetable-forward identity.
• The wine selection is treated as a pillar of the experience, matching the ambition of the cooking.

• Vegetables from biodynamic gardens and a greenhouse, the sourcing backbone of the kitchen.
• Herbs, roots, and aromatic plants grown and used as a defining flavour layer.
• Piedmont produce treated in a creative, contemporary style, with the menu structure doing the storytelling.

A creative, contemporary tasting-menu restaurant in the Langhe, driven by chef Michelangelo Mammoliti. The structure is explicit, with three menu tracks, Emozione for memory-led dishes, Voyage for global influences from the chef’s career, and MAD100% Natura as a blind tasting that puts ingredients at the centre. A strong vegetable thread runs through the cooking, tied to local biodynamic kitchen gardens and a greenhouse, and the wine list is a serious part of the experience.
