Bagna Càuda

Why it's special

It's a proper village supper rather than a restaurant menu: the Pro Loco Pro Cocco cooks it with AVIS and the other associations, there's a version without garlic (made with topinambur), you can bring your own burner to knock a few euros off, and the children get their own menu and entertainment.

Programme · 2026

'La Bagna Cauda', organised by the Pro Loco Pro Cocco with AVIS Cocconato in the Salone of the Cortile del Collegio.

• Booking and payment are due a few days ahead (by 20 October in 2026) at the Tabaccheria Noto in the village.
• If you bring your own fornellino (the little burner that keeps the terrine hot) the price drops from €30 to €27; children up to 10 eat for €10.

Bagna càuda is what the Asti hills eat once the grapes are in: anchovies and garlic melted slowly into olive oil, kept warm over a small flame, with raw and cooked vegetables to dip. In Cocconato it's a community evening. The Pro Loco Pro Cocco and the village associations (AVIS among them) set the tables in the Salone of the Cortile del Collegio, right in the centre.

The menu goes on well past the dip, with a primo, a bollito and dessert, wine and water included; the edition below has this year's dishes and prices. Book at the tabaccheria a few days before, bring your own burner if you have one, and come hungry.
