In the heart of Aosta, right at the bustling corner of Viale Conseil des Commis and Piazza Chanoux, Alberto Vescovo runs his acclaimed gourmet panificio bar, Baguette e Bollicine. This lively spot offers more than just delicious food—it’s an experience that brings together the robust flavors of the Aosta Valley with refined ingredients from Emilia-Romagna.
From Modena to Aosta: Alberto’s Culinary Journey
After years in Modena’s hotel and restaurant industry, Alberto relocated to Aosta two years ago, bringing his culinary expertise and a fresh concept to this vibrant city. At Baguette e Bollicine, he crafts gourmet sandwiches with original flavor combinations, using locally sourced ingredients that celebrate the hearty mountain cuisine of the Aosta Valley. In the afternoons, Alberto transforms his bottega into a lively gathering spot, serving curated antipasti plates paired with artisanal beers, wines, and Italy’s finest bubbles.
Gambero Rosso’s Best Street Food of 2021
Baguette e Bollicine earned national recognition as the Best Street Food 2021 for Valle D’Aosta by Gambero Rosso, Italy’s leading street food guide. With its creative menu, Alberto’s bottega has become a must-visit for both locals and tourists seeking the best of Italian street food.
The Cicciona: A Sandwich to Savor
I couldn’t resist trying one of Alberto’s signature creations, the Cicciona. This artisanal baguette combines the rich flavors of local salami, creamy toma cheese, and a touch of sweetness from red berry marmalade. Topped with crisp red lettuce and a honey-mustard spread, this sandwich delivers a delicious blend of textures and tastes.
