Discover Cicciona: A Street Food Gem in Aosta

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.
