Remi restaurant and daily dining

Remi brings a distinctly personal approach to Italian dining, shaped by the seasons, exceptional ingredients, and a courtyard setting designed for lingering. Breakfast is served from 7 to 11 a.m., with all-day dining from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The kitchen features housemade pastas and dishes that move easily from morning espresso to candlelit dinner. Brunch is offered Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Bar Remi operates from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering cocktails and beverages. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. The restaurant's design and personal service create a welcoming atmosphere familiar enough to return to often, yet special enough to mark an occasion.

Chef's Table and culinary classes

Executive Chef Maurizio Ferrarese leads intimate, hands-on culinary experiences at the Chef's Table for private groups of ten to twenty guests. Classes focus on Italian culinary fundamentals: the craft of handmade pasta, techniques for risotto—a signature of Northern Italy—and the tactile art of making fresh mozzarella by hand.

Experiences can be tailored as a standalone class, a full evening with wine pairings and seated meal, or customized formats. Classes rotate seasonally and are suited to corporate outings, client entertainment, birthdays, wedding weekends, and private social gatherings. The Chef's Table takes place in Alba or Remi.

Seasonal events and special occasions

Hotel Granduca hosts seasonal celebrations throughout the year, beginning with autumnal afternoon tea on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays starting October 16. A Thanksgiving Day à la carte brunch features morning favorites, seasonal dishes, and herb-roasted turkey. Holiday tea follows in December with festive bites and gingerbread tiramisu.

Special events include Breakfast with Santa and a Christmas Day brunch on December 25. Afternoon tea d'Alba pairs Italian charm with English tradition, featuring fine teas, finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and desserts with Italian influence, served in the Alba Tea Room. Private events and banquets are arranged by Chef Maurizio Ferrarese for family dinners and company celebrations.

In-room dining

In-Room Dining brings favorites from Remi directly to guest rooms and suites, served with the same care as the dining room. The service is available daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. by calling the front desk. This option suits guests preferring breakfast in bed, a late lunch between meetings, or dinner in a robe with nowhere else to be.
