Restaurant in Sarre, Italy
Third-generation Aosta cooking, €€, easy to book.
In the heart of the Aosta Valley, Trattoria di Campagna distills three generations of culinary devotion into a quietly luxurious dining experience. Seasonal mountain ingredients are honored with thoughtful technique and just a whisper of modern imagination, resulting in dishes that feel both rooted and rarefied. Beneath vaulted stone, a newly curated cellar beckons; reserve its intimate table for a convivial dozen, and let sommelier Beatrice orchestrate a journey through alpine vintages and Italian icons. The finale—an exquisite dessert trolley—arrives like a procession of temptations, balancing nostalgia and finesse in every polished, silken bite.
At the €€ price tier, Trattoria di Campagna is the most direct case for booking in Sarre. You get a third-generation family trattoria, a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, a sommelier on hand, and a wine cellar with a private table for twelve — all without the €€€€ outlay that the region's prestige restaurants demand. If you are travelling through the Aosta Valley and want to eat food that actually represents the place, this is where to go.
The physical layout here does real work. The wine cellar doubles as a dining space — seating roughly a dozen guests at a dedicated table , which means you can eat surrounded by the bottles you are drinking from. For a food and wine enthusiast, that setting is more useful than a standard dining room: the cellar table is worth requesting specifically, and with sommelier Beatrice available to guide selections, the combination of space and expertise makes this the kind of wine dinner that feels considered rather than accidental. The dessert trolley, which draws consistent attention in the venue's recognition notes, brings a traditional Alpine hospitality register to the close of the meal. It is a spatial and service rhythm that larger, more theatrically designed restaurants rarely replicate at this price level.
The kitchen works from Aosta Valley tradition with selective personalised touches. That means seasonal, regional cooking , the kind shaped by altitude, short growing seasons, and mountain larder staples , rather than creative reinterpretation for its own sake. The Michelin Plate, held consecutively in 2024 and 2025, signals that the cooking meets a recognised standard of quality without being a destination tasting-menu exercise. For the explorer travelling this corridor, that is precisely the right register: serious enough to reward attention, grounded enough to feel like the place rather than a chef's ego project.
For directly comparable Aosta Valley cooking nearby, Vecchio Ristoro in Aosta and Laghetto in Brusson operate in the same regional tradition and are worth cross-referencing if you are building an itinerary across the valley.
The trattoria is now in its third generation of family ownership. That milestone matters less as sentiment and more as a practical indicator: a kitchen that has kept a family in business across three generations in a competitive regional market has a stable identity. The 4.4 Google rating across 2,004 reviews reinforces that signal at scale , this is not a venue coasting on a single season of press attention.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy. The Aosta Valley sees its highest visitor volumes in ski season (December to March) and in summer (July to August) when Alpine hiking draws a different crowd. If you are visiting during either peak period, book ahead rather than assuming availability. The cellar table for twelve is the specific ask , make it at the time of reservation. Hours and online booking method are not confirmed in our data; contact the venue directly or check current listing platforms for live availability.
If your Italian trip includes stops at higher-tariff tables , Osteria Francescana in Modena, Piazza Duomo in Alba, or Le Calandre in Rubano , Trattoria di Campagna works well as the regional anchor: lower spend, higher specificity of place. It also pairs logically with broader Aosta Valley exploration. See our full Sarre restaurants guide, our Sarre hotels guide, and our Sarre wineries guide for planning context. For bars and experiences in the area, our Sarre bars guide and our Sarre experiences guide round out the picture.
There is no confirmed tasting menu in our data for Trattoria di Campagna. What the venue offers is traditional, seasonal Aosta Valley cooking at a €€ price point, with a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. At that price tier, the value case is strong regardless of format , you are getting recognised-quality regional cooking without the €€€€ outlay of destination tasting menus at restaurants like Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler.
Specific menu items are not confirmed in our data, so we cannot give dish-level guidance. What is documented: the dessert trolley is a highlight noted in the venue's Michelin recognition, and the kitchen leans into seasonal, traditional Aosta Valley cooking. Ask sommelier Beatrice for a wine pairing , that is a documented strength of the experience.
Bar seating is not confirmed in our data. The notable counter-style option here is the wine cellar table, which seats around twelve and puts you in the middle of the bottle collection with sommelier Beatrice available. If an immersive wine-forward setting appeals, that is the seating to request , not a standard bar arrangement.
The €€ price range makes solo dining here more financially viable than most Michelin-recognised venues. The cellar table seats twelve and is better suited to groups; solo diners should ask about standard dining room seating. For solo food and wine travel in the Aosta Valley, this is a practical and lower-risk choice compared to committing to a multi-course €€€€ menu alone.
For Aosta Valley cooking specifically, Vecchio Ristoro in Aosta and Laghetto in Brusson operate in the same regional tradition. For higher-ambition Italian cooking in the broader region, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico sits at €€€€ but represents a different category of experience entirely. See our full Sarre restaurants guide for a broader view.
Yes, particularly if the occasion suits a warm, family-run setting rather than a formal fine-dining room. The wine cellar table for twelve is a strong private-dining option for group celebrations. Sommelier Beatrice adds a service layer that lifts the experience beyond a standard trattoria. For a more formally theatrical occasion, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence or Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli in Verona are better matches , but at significantly higher cost.
At €€ with a consecutive Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025), a 4.4 Google rating across over 2,000 reviews, and a dedicated sommelier, yes. You are getting above-average value for the price tier. The comparison to make is not against €€€€ tasting menus but against other regional Italian restaurants at this spend level , and Trattoria di Campagna compares well on the evidence available.
No specific dietary restriction policy is confirmed in our data. The kitchen works with traditional, seasonal Aosta Valley ingredients , which means a significant meat, dairy, and cured-produce focus typical of Alpine regional cooking. If you have specific requirements, contact the venue directly before booking.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
The kitchen works from Aosta Valley tradition with selective personal touches, which makes structured tasting formats a natural fit for the cooking style. At €€ pricing, any multi-course format here represents strong value relative to what the Michelin Plate recognition signals. If you want to work through the full range of seasonal and regional dishes, a tasting format is the right call. If you prefer to pick and choose, the à la carte is equally well-suited to the kitchen's output.
The dessert trolley is a concrete highlight flagged in the venue's Michelin recognition — order from it. Beyond that, the kitchen anchors firmly in seasonal Aosta Valley cooking, so prioritise whatever reflects the current season. Sommelier Beatrice is on hand to guide wine pairings, and the cellar is well-stocked, so leaning on her recommendation is worth doing rather than defaulting to the bottle you know.
No bar seating is documented for this venue. The two known dining configurations are the main room and the wine cellar table, which seats around a dozen guests. For a casual counter-style experience in the region, this trattoria is not the format to seek out.
At the €€ price point with easy booking difficulty, solo dining here carries low risk and low financial exposure. The wine cellar table seats roughly twelve, so a solo diner is more likely to be placed in the main room. Sommelier Beatrice's presence means you can have a proper wine conversation even dining alone, which adds real value to the solo experience.
Within Sarre itself, documented alternatives are limited. If you are willing to travel within the Aosta Valley, the regional cooking style is consistent enough that the main variable becomes price tier and formality. For a higher-tariff, alpine-rooted tasting menu with Michelin recognition, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in South Tyrol represents the obvious regional step-up, though it operates at a substantially higher price point and booking difficulty.
Yes, with the right expectations. The wine cellar room, which seats around twelve, is the obvious choice for a private or semi-private celebration, and Sommelier Beatrice can build the wine experience around your meal. Two consecutive Michelin Plate awards give the kitchen enough credibility to anchor a meaningful dinner. At €€, it works as a low-pressure special occasion rather than a grand-gesture one.
At €€, yes. Two Michelin Plates, third-generation ownership, a dedicated sommelier, and a wine cellar dining room at this price tier is a clear value case. You are not paying for theatrical service or international name recognition — you are paying for consistent, regional cooking that has earned Michelin attention in back-to-back years.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
