Trattoria
astigiana,
with a view
The dish satisfies the taste, the view pampers the spirit. At I Bùgianèn you savor tradition while your gaze roams free. We have chosen the fixed-price menu formula to preserve the authentic experience of Piedmontese trattorias and inns.
Truffle has its season, but fritto misto and bollito are always available
Deep roots in Astigiano food and wine tradition. Bollito and fritto misto are always available without reservation and in autumn, waiting for you, there is the truffle.
Are you in the mood just for a first course, a second, or is it one of those evenings when you feel you deserve both? Choose among the fixed-price menus and explore our recipes inspired by Astigiana tradition.
The same dishes and the same quality of the trattoria, at an everyday price. Enjoy a break just 5 minutes from the city center, overlooking the beautiful hills of Asti.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience with our aperitivo in the heart of Monferrato. Local delicacies, wine and cocktails with a breathtaking view.
The trattoria format
At I Bùgianèn we have chosen the fixed-price menu formula so as to preserve the authentic experience of Piedmontese trattorias and inns. One of our goals is to let you rediscover the joy of sharing at the table, and this formula is perfect for that.
Choose a first course, a second, or both
Your experience will in fact begin with a series of typical appetizers to be shared with your table. The first and second course can then be chosen “à la carte” depending on the daily menu, to allow greater personalization compared to a tasting formula.
A sweet ending, multiplied by 3
Dinner then ends with a tasting of three desserts, again placed in the center of the table to be shared.
- Lard and friciule
- 3 Appetizers
- Choice of first course
- Dessert tasting
- Lard and friciule
- 3 Appetizers
- Choice of second course

From Tuesday to Friday the restaurant offers a lighter lunch menu, while from Wednesday evening to Sunday evening (and also at lunch on weekends) you will find the complete trattoria experience.
Bùgianèn! We’ll take care of the rest
The sight of a set table takes us back to those Sunday lunches at grandma’s house. It was, and remains, a kind of cuisine that we believe should be experienced through sharing and smiles — two things that are never missing here at I Bùgianèn.
The origin of the term “bùgianèn”
The origin of the term “bùgianèn”
Bùgia nèn, in Piedmontese “don’t move.” Few know that this expression was born on the battlefield. We chose it as the name of our trattoria in Asti because in bùgia nèn we also read something else.
