About La Casaccia

The first restaurant you reach on the road up to the artists' village of Bussana Vecchia, La Casaccia is built around a wood-fired grill and a terrace overlooking the valley toward the sea. Run by Francesco and Davide, the kitchen turns out tagliate of Argentine and Fassona beef, grilled sausages and rostelle, and homemade tagliatelle in a sausage and white wine sauce, alongside cold cut and cheese boards and gnocco fritto. It's a favorite stop for meat lovers visiting the earthquake-rebuilt hilltop hamlet, especially at sunset.

Reviews

Guests consistently highlight the grilled meats, generous antipasti boards, and the panoramic terrace overlooking the valley toward the sea, with many praising the warm, informal service from the young staff. The 4.5 rating reflects a largely excellent, laid back experience, though a recent run of reviews flags inconsistent meat quality, small portions for the price, and tricky roadside parking on the way up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, there is street parking along the road up to Bussana Vecchia and a small clearing near the cemetery just before the restaurant, though the narrow, winding approach road means spaces can be limited on busy evenings.

La Casaccia is open for lunch (generally around 12:00-15:00, with a slightly earlier close on Tuesdays) and dinner (roughly 18:00-22:30, later on Saturdays), though it's worth checking ahead since hours shift slightly by day of the week.

The restaurant is best known for its wood-fired grill, especially tagliata of Argentine and Fassona beef, grilled sausages and rostelle, alongside homemade tagliatelle in a sausage and white wine sauce and mixed salumi and cheese boards.

The menu lists some vegetarian and gluten-free choices, though at least one recent review noted the kitchen wasn't fully prepared for a gluten-free request made in advance, so it's worth reconfirming dietary needs when booking.

Yes, La Casaccia accepts reservations by phone, and booking ahead is recommended for terrace seating, especially around sunset when the view of the valley and coast is at its best.
