Ortosteria René is a charming dining experience rooted in the family tradition of sharing meals with friends and guests. This restaurant celebrates the rich culinary heritage of the Albenga plain and its surrounding areas by showcasing traditional rural recipes.
The name "OrtOsteria" highlights the significance of the home garden, or "Orto" in Italian, which has been a vital source of fresh ingredients for generations of farming families. Here, the vegetables harvested from the garden are the stars of daily recipes, ensuring a farm-to-table experience.
Chef Carolina, who has honed her culinary skills under the guidance of her mother Chiara and grandmother Giovanna, along with her grandfather René, brings her family's recipes to life at Ortosteria. She crafts delightful dishes that reflect the flavors of the garden, the sea, and the land.
With a deep love for their roots, the Vio family has lovingly restored a part of the picturesque village of Bastia, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for diners. Join us for a memorable meal that celebrates the essence of Ligurian cuisine.
