Ristorante Il Cardo In Sauze di cesana

A place that captivates at first glance, with a postcard-perfect mountain view. But it's at the table that the real magic unfolds: spectacular dishes, carefully crafted yet delicate, unleashing authentic flavors that linger. The wine list is a gem: a wide selection and wines that enhance every course. A place where the landscape and the gastronomic experience meet and complement each other perfectly.

A beautiful restaurant, highly recommended on the way to Val Argentera. Excellent and, above all, hot coffee and cappuccino. A super cozy ambiance inside and out with lovely decor!

Now regular customers. The restaurant is cozy, decorated like a typical mountain hut. The owners are helpful and friendly, and are excellent at recommending Piedmontese wines from their cellar. The dishes are authentic and of excellent quality, changing depending on the availability of the ingredients. A special mention goes to the goat's milk ice cream served with extra virgin olive oil and pepper, delicious. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable experience in every way! From the first moment, you sensed a unique and engaging atmosphere, especially in the bubble (reservations required). The staff was simply impeccable: attentive, present but never intrusive, extremely courteous and thoughtful. We felt truly pampered, warmly welcomed, and treated like special guests. It's rare to find such a combination of professionalism, discretion, and sincere kindness. The food was a sensory journey: every dish was a small masterpiece. The attention to detail, the perfect balance of flavors, the refined portions, and the harmonious combination of ingredients completely satisfied us. Each course exuded passion, creativity, and extraordinary gastronomic expertise. True excellence, where nothing is left to chance. We will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

Both the appetizers and the first courses were excellent, all of Piedmontese tradition with a special mention of game. The second course was too much for us 😆 . Recommended

⭐️👍 A perfect stop on the way to the Italian ski resorts We stopped at Cardo for a cool drink break, and the experience was beyond our expectations. The place, both calm and authentic, surprises with its peaceful and neat atmosphere. The service is impeccable: attentive, fast and warm. The establishment is of exemplary cleanliness, with easy access for people in wheelchairs and nearby parking, which is rare in the area. The location is ideal for a break on the road, particularly towards the nearby ski resorts such as Sestriere, Sansicario or Clavière. There is also a beautiful sunny terrace and a pleasant view of the surrounding mountains. Things to do in the surrounding area: Skiing and snowboarding in the Via Lattea area (Sestriere, Sauze d'Oulx, etc.) Hiking and mountain biking in the summer around the Échelle pass and the Clarée valley Historic walk through the charming village of Cesana Torinese Observation of alpine fauna in the natural park of Val Troncea A place that I recommend without hesitation for a relaxing break or a convivial moment in all simplicity❤️. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A perfect stop on the way to the Italian ski resorts We stopped at Cardo for a break with a cool drink, and the experience exceeded expectations.
