20/05/2026: A gastronomic experience — seasonal, surprising, and restrained — of the highest quality. The restaurant has been nestled in a small, sleepy town for 210 years, within a private estate whose entrance feels like stepping into a lush, meticulously manicured garden of Eden. The staff — the chef, the sommelier, and the service team — are warm, smiling, and attentive at the highest level, brimming with knowledge they are delighted to share, and exceptionally gracious.
And the food? It is the crown jewel and the pride of Piedmontese cuisine. Extraordinary cooking techniques showcase magnificent raw ingredients, the foundation of most dishes coming straight from the restaurant's own kitchen garden. Wonderful combinations of vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, and meat are handled impeccably — with delicacy and restraint — so as to let the natural flavors of the exceptional seasonal ingredients take center stage.
The wine list is outstanding and priced fairly and reasonably, which is highly unusual for a 2-Michelin-star restaurant. The meal can be described as a carefully orchestrated concert of extraordinary flavors and remarkable service. A breathtaking, multi-sensory experience that must not be missed.

🍴 Piedmontese, Modern Cuisine
🎗️ Antica Corona Reale, known locally as Da Renzo, first opened in May 1815. The first owner chose the location in Cervere, Piedmont, just 17 kilometers from La Morra, the world-renowned Barolo wine region. He initially ran a dairy farm before establishing his reputation in the restaurant business. The entrance features a deep well enclosed by glass. Inside, the spacious restaurant is decorated in a classic style. White tablecloths, wooden floors, and vaulted brick ceilings create a timelessly warm ambiance.
🎗️ For those traveling to the Piedmont region and seeking a high-end restaurant with accessible prices, Antica Corona Reale should be at the top of your list. They offer a wide selection of wines at reasonable prices, and the staff provides friendly yet professional service befitting a high-end establishment. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made in advance via the website's form. We believe this restaurant will provide a truly memorable experience for all food lovers.
