LORTO
at Nordelaia

Where Piedmont meets the world

Set in the hills of Alto Monferrato, within Nordelaia, LORTO begins with a simple idea: start from the land.

Here, cuisine is not a fixed expression but an evolving process. A continuous dialogue between garden, season and territory, where each ingredient is carefully selected, respected and interpreted with precision.

Led by Executive Chef Charles Pearce, with the consultancy of chef Andrea Ribaldone, LORTO brings together Italian roots and an international sensibility. A natural balance between technique and instinct, structure and freedom.

Vegetables from our garden set the rhythm. Around them, a living cuisine takes shape — one that shifts, adapts and evolves with the seasons. Local producers are an integral part of this story, contributing to a supply chain that is thoughtful, close and deeply connected to Piedmont.

LORTO is also about a way of gathering around the table. More open, more fluid, more spontaneous. An experience shaped by time, people and the pleasure of sharing.

A restaurant to be lived, rather than defined.
