Good food has its own rhythm: that of the land on which it grows, of its ripening process, and of the transformations required to make it unique and special.
Respecting this rhythm means recognising the value of what is brought to our tables.
In our view, eating is not merely a mechanical act, but also an expression of gastronomic culture, where cooking becomes a way of discovering a story.
We carefully select each product to ensure that every item has a reason for being part of our range.
Our selection process is based on first-hand experience, visits to producers and dialogue with them.
We follow a simple rule: to offer only what we would choose for our own table.
A family-run shop for three generations.
Andante 1988 grew out of the legacy of ‘Il Buongustaio’, our family’s shop which opened over thirty years ago in Orta San Giulio, on Lake Orta.
For those who have already visited our shop, it’s another chance to meet us again and feel just as pampered as on your first visit; for those discovering us for the first time, it’s an opportunity to get to know our specialities and have them delivered to your home.
