Maurizio Burdese echoes this sentiment, highlighting the café's unpretentious charm in the heart of the enchanting Langa woods.

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.

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.
