The old village bar, now a chef's osteria
San Germano, Casale Monferrato
Tommaso Negri and Paola Brovero turned the sports bar of San Germano into an informal osteria where Monferrato cooking meets new ideas and a touch of the sea.
One place, two souls
Tommaso was born in San Germano. He came home to open the osteria with his wife Paola, in what used to be the hamlet's village bar. They kept the bar.

Lunch and dinner
The osteria
A handwritten menu, Monferrato dishes and ingredients from local producers.
Monferrato roots, a free hand
Tommaso's cooking is home-style but personal: Monferrato classics next to ideas from further afield, including a few touches of the sea.
Dishes named by the MICHELIN Guide
- Plin with roast meat sauce on a delicate leek cream
- Cotechino a home-cooking classic
- Raw Mazara prawns the touch of the sea
The menu changes often: ask for the day's dishes.
A glass of Monferrato
This is wine country, among the UNESCO-listed Monferrato hills. The bottles are on show under the old bar sign: ask Paola and Tommaso what to pair with the dish of the day.
