The Restaurant at Casa Hema

At the Restaurant at Casa Hema, the kitchen draws its shape from memory, yet speaks to the present. There are no individual plates, no distance between guests—the food is placed at the center of the table, warm, generous, meant to be shared.

Every dish is an invitation to closeness, to an exchange of energy. It’s served in earthenware, in enameled cast iron, on the kind of plates that recall childhood Sundays—those days when you gathered at the table more to be together than to eat.

The cooking is simple, direct, and honest. Vegetables come from the surrounding countryside, cured meats from a nearby producer. Recipes have roots in Piedmont and Liguria, yet they reach across the whole spectrum of Italian tradition.

Casa Hema is a gastronomy that behaves like a home: you can come in for a lingering meal or a distracted coffee. You won’t find a meticulously choreographed experience—only an atmosphere crafted with care: aromas that awaken the appetite, words that mingle with the wine, and time that knows how to slow down.
