Welcome to Cafe d'Epoca – a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Castino, Italy! Located along an unnamed road, this charming café invites travelers and locals alike to step into a slice of rustic Italian hospitality that feels remarkably homey and inviting.

As you enter Cafe d'Epoca, you’re embraced by a warm atmosphere that resonates with the care and love put into every aspect of this establishment. It's not just a place to grab a meal; it's like coming home to your grandmother’s kitchen after a long day of exploration. The rustic decor and friendly smiles from owners add a personal touch that enhances every visit.

The menu boasts a selection of delightful homemade dishes, including the renowned tajarin – a traditional pasta beloved in the region. Customers rave about the simplicity and authenticity of the culinary offerings here; the ingredients are fresh, the flavors are genuine, and the preparation is infused with a pinch of love. As Alessia Pignoli wonderfully describes, it's "just like stopping for lunch at Grandma's" – an experience everyone deserves to savor.

Maurizio Burdese echoes this sentiment, highlighting the café's unpretentious charm in the heart of the enchanting Langa woods. This isn't a place for the high-end, polished experience that you might find in a fine dining restaurant; rather, it’s a heartfelt encounter with authentic Italian cooking, where the owner personally prepares and serves each dish, ensuring every guest feels special. It's these unique touches and personal stories that truly elevate your dining experience.

For those cycling through the region, like Mauro Marchisio and friends, you’ll find a welcoming oasis here. The thoughtful service extends to accommodating unique requests and ensuring that every visitor feels valued and nourished. Whether you’re stopping for a quick espresso, priced at just 1 euro as noted by P.v. D., or indulging in a leisurely lunch, Cafe d'Epoca is committed to providing a fulfilling experience.

As Patrizia Bravo perfectly puts it, the café creates a joyful environment akin to dining at home with friends and family, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. It’s a testament that simple, well-made food in a delightful setting can leave a lasting impression.

So, if you're in the area or simply passing through, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Cafe d'Epoca. With genuine flavors and an atmosphere that feels like a warm hug, it's a must-visit spot that would make any journey through Italy memorable. Gather your friends, family, or a good book, and indulge in the heartwarming experience that awaits!

Fantastico! Mangiare qui è stato proprio come fermarsi a pranzo da nonna dopo una lunga passeggiata. I sentieri Fenogliani (che si legano al caffè/ristorante) sono meravigliosi e l'intera atmosfera ti fa sentire a casa. Cucina semplice e genuina, i proprietari sono simpaticissima. Naturalmente il prezzo è assolutamente appropriato!

Locale senza pretese ma con tanto cuore, nella fantastica cornice dei boschi di Langa. Cibo casalingo preparato bene, astenersi chi è abituato a un ristorante classico. La titolare fa tutto, cucina e serve a tavola. Personaggio simpatico e molto particolare...
