ristorazione — Rivarolo Canavese · Piemonte
In the heart of Rivarolo Canavese, where the Piedmontese Canavese unfolds its hills between vineyards and historic villages, Corso Indipendenza is home to a shop that has turned food and wine selection into a daily practice of care. La Bottega del Teatro opens every day from ten in the morning until midnight, without ever breaking the thread.
Beyond the threshold at Corso Indipendenza 50, the space reveals itself as carefully considered down to the smallest detail: clean walls, warm lighting, an atmosphere guests describe as charming and welcoming. It is Simone Del Sorbo, sommelier and owner, who built this space with clear intention — a place where quality is not an exception but the ordinary measure of every hour, seven days a week.
Behind the counter lies the essence of the shop: sought-after wines from across Italy, amari of exceptional quality, cured meats and cheeses selected one by one. Simone Del Sorbo does more than serve them — he tells their story. Every item on the board is presented with care, turning a simple stop into a guided tasting that informs without ever feeling like a lesson.
The kitchen is no minor detail: the focacce al padellino (thick focaccia baked in a small pan), among the house's most loved specialities, come out of the oven hot and give the boards a substantial companion. At midday the shop also offers a fixed menu — two courses, a side and water included, for sixteen euros — turning the lunch break into a moment of accessible quality.
La Bottega del Teatro is open every day, from morning until midnight: the right moment to discover Simone Del Sorbo's curated selection is simply the one you choose.
