We enjoyed an excellent lunch at Francesca and Mauro's. Their cuisine, culinary advice, and welcome are truly authentic. Thank you to them for their availability and kindness. Three hikers who came this summer while passing through the GTA.

July 14, 2025 - Monday (4 of us) The 'Bivacco Matematico', recommended to us by the managers of the Usseglio Museum, was a delightful surprise. The young owner offered a fantastic and warm welcome, attentive and enthusiastic: the trios, each of us choosing our own, were delicious. The bread, wine, and homemade 'brutti ma buoni' desserts, which we were able to purchase from their deli, were excellent. They were available to make our day an unforgettable memory, and the price was very fair. Unmissable. We'd love to return! Before heading to Malciaussia, we highly recommend stopping at the 'Bivacco Matematico'! A restaurant run with passion and originality. THANK YOU!

I always enjoy returning to Bivacco Matematico because Francesca and Mauro are so welcoming and the food is excellent. The bread is a true specialty, lovingly kneaded with sourdough starter and a select selection of flours. The ingredients are top-quality, and the dishes are meticulously prepared, an experience that gives me the pleasure of watching Mauro entertained and hard at work in the small open kitchen. The selection of wines, some of the best, and liqueurs is extensive. But Francesca's desserts are truly surprising. Yes, the desserts are a lovely surprise, and I'll leave the discovery to you. The delights of this place are countless, yet here so many things matter because mathematics is not an opinion but an intriguing passion...

It is worth stopping to taste typical products of the area. Helpful and kind staff.

We tried this place almost by chance during the 2019 Valliadi. We returned today, and I can assure you we're leaving even more enthusiastic. A place that feels like home, with furnishings ranging from kitchen, mountain, and mathematics objects. The restaurant is located on the first floor, and the atmosphere is very refined and clean, with an open kitchen. The first courses with roast meat sauce, tagliolini or agnolotti, are exceptional. The tongue with green sauce is fabulous. The excellent dishes prepared by chef Bivacco are brought to the dining room by the charming host, the mathematician. You can tell they both put heart, love, and a great deal of professionalism into what they do. It's definitely a place we'll return to.

The food is delicious! The owners are wonderful, friendly and kind. Furthermore, the place has a mathematical feel, as the restaurant's name suggests. For those interested, when you visit this mathematical bivouac, you'll lose yourself in a world of knowledge! Top!

The quality of the ingredients is excellent; the chef modestly says his only job is to not ruin them. There's a lot of research behind every single ingredient, and you can sense a great deal of passion for cooking. The dishes vary from week to week, and you can always find more traditional dishes alongside the occasional more innovative one. It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants, and it's always a pleasure to return. Oh, and I almost forgot, the prices are very fair! I've attached some photos taken during the various dinners.

We ate well and felt at ease. The restaurant is simple yet elegant, with an open kitchen. Traditional Italian dishes are well-prepared and flavorful. The decor is sophisticated yet simple and comfortable, inspired by the world of numbers. A few Escher paintings and a few mathematical functions with a graph of a and a.

I stumbled upon it by chance, looking for a place to have lunch, but the entrance isn't clearly marked. Only by entering a door leading to the stairs and hearing dishes clattering did I realize the restaurant was open, which was a pleasant surprise. The place is small but cozy, with a fireplace. The owners are kind and friendly, and they're happy to stay after the meal to chat with the tables. The food is refined and excellent, offering unusual dishes, like pigeon, which is actually part of typical Piedmontese cuisine. For €15, you can choose the trio platter with generous portions and leave feeling full. The prices aren't high for the quality of the food. However, it's best to book at least the day before, otherwise it's difficult to find a table. Highly recommended

Almost opposite the Usseglio town hall, on the first floor above the shop. Small (24 seats) but welcoming, it makes you feel right at home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A la carte menu, set menu, or a trio, with your choice of appetizer, first course, second course, or three appetizers, etc. For me, the trio is enough. I'll be back. Reservations are recommended.

Excellent restaurant, very small, so reservations are probably best. Prices are very reasonable, and the location is nice. It opens at 12:45, so waits are a bit long, but it's run by just two guys. Excellent food...perhaps a little less parsley in the mushrooms, which were delicious.
