Our restaurant

Three crafts, one table

After L'Escale de la Gare and La Bourse des Gourmets, the family is opening a new address in Distré, on the edge of Saumur, with its heart in Italy: fresh produce, homemade cooking prepared on site and a real sense of hospitality.

Pizza

Homemade dough, kneaded on site, left to rest for a long time and stretched by hand, and carefully chosen toppings: the Neapolitan tradition, with no shortcuts.

Pasta

Fresh pasta made on site and slow-simmered homemade sauces: the great classics, from carbonara to ragù.

Rotisserie

Poultry and cuts of meat slowly roasted on site, served with their homemade jus and seasonal vegetables.

The place

A patio made for lingering

Shades of olive and terracotta, plenty of light, tables where you take your time. A setting designed for lunch with colleagues as much as for big gatherings.
