La tàula de m'aura
In Borgata Isaia di Elva, an osteria that tells the story of this land through honest local ingredients, Slow Food Presidia products and a wine list built with real affection for the Piedmontese winemaking tradition
Authentic flavours and the Slow Food philosophy
La tàula de m’aura welcomes guests with a menu that celebrates the recipes and produce of the surrounding valleys.
Maura's expertise and her deep commitment to the slow philosophy come through in dishes that are simple, yet made with excellent local ingredients and Slow Food Presidia products.
Maura and Dario are also among the founders of the Slow Food Community for agricultural development and sustainable hospitality in Valle Maira, an initiative that has brought together farmers, breeders, shopkeepers and restaurateurs from the area, and for which the tàula de m’aura is one of the driving forces and meeting points.
Why la tàula de m'aura
Our kitchen
Our cooking rests on a fine balance of care for the ingredients, knowledge of local traditions and a willingness to innovate where it makes sense.
The recipes are overseen by Giuseppe Barbero (Gepis), a veteran with more than forty years in the kitchens of the Slow Food restaurants of Bra.
The wine list, put together with the Banca del Vino in Pollenzo, focuses on labels from Langa and Roero, alongside a selection from other Italian regions. It also features wines from the Alpine valleys of the province of Cuneo, names that are making their mark regionally and nationally, with particular attention to green wines.
In the Osterie d'Italia 2026 guide
La tàula de m'aura is one of the 1,980 places recommended in Osterie d'Italia 2026, published by Slow Food Editore and the go-to guide for anyone looking for genuine cooking rooted in a place and its traditions.
It is a recognition of what we do at 1,703 metres: local ingredients, traditional Valle Maira recipes, products from the Slow Food Presidia and Community, and a cellar that champions the wines of Piedmont.
