Locanda Zi’ Pepe’

Opened in 2024, it immediately established itself as  a prominent address in the Cuneo area, thanks in part to its delicious and original raw tartares. Run by chef Giuseppe Colletti, famous for his experience in renowned London restaurants and nicknamed the “chef to the stars” because his clients include Tom Hanks, Naomi Campbell, José Mourinho and Barack Obama. The chef chose San Chiaffredo, where his wife Antonella has lived for over 20 years, to offer a welcoming environment where the chef ’s style and his wife’s quality service create an authentically convivial atmosphere. The cuisine combines Ligurian tradition with Piedmontese creativity, offering fish-based dishes and much more. The best Piedmontese products are combined with Ligurian specialities such as extra virgin olive oil, Taggiasca olives and Pra’ pesto, as well as Pigato and Vermentino di Ortovero wines. The seasonal menus feature lively and colourful dishes, often based on fish accompanied by sprouts, flowers and seasonal fruit, such as the raw fish with nasturtium sprouts, beetroot and peas. Excellent value for money, with à la carte prices ranging from £30 to £40. Initially open only for dinner, it now also offers an interesting tasting menu for £29 on Sunday lunchtimes.
