OUR STORY

A home.
A passion.
A fresh way to cook.

Antica Casa Rava is a 100% plant-based restaurant and delicatessen in Alessandria. Since 2018, it has brought together Italian culinary tradition and a wish to cook with care for animals and the planet.

I’m Elena Norma Rava. Before opening this home, I studied biology, nutrition and naturopathy. Cooking had been part of my life since childhood: making dough with my grandmothers meant happiness, care and a sense of belonging.

I created Antica Casa Rava to share that feeling and introduce plant-based cooking to people who had never chosen it before. Familiar recipes, organic ingredients and handmade pasta: flavour is how we tell our story.

WELCOME HOME

The warmth of things
that feel familiar.

Formica tables, objects from the 1950s and 1960s, and details that recall grandma’s home. We have created a place to feel welcome, settle in and take time to savour your food.

Since 2018 in Alessandria, we have been bringing our own evolution of taste to the table: reimagined Italian recipes, organic ingredients and food made by hand.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

The warmth of yesterday.
The curiosity of today.

Formica tables, vintage objects and music set the scene for a warm welcome. Our idea of hospitality is simple: attention, kindness and time to enjoy your visit.

Choose from the day’s dishes at our delicatessen counter, settle at a table and let our team guide you, or take a little of Casa Rava home. From lunch to dinner, there is always something to discover.

Many of our guests also eat meat. What brings us together is a love of good food and the pleasure of sharing a meal. That is what the evolution of taste means to us.
