History
"Il Sigillo" was inaugurated on 8th September 2008, exactly after a year of works and renovations and is located within the medieval complex of the ancient village of Staffarda, dating back to the thirteenth century.
Innovation and elegance immediately characterized the restaurant, where traditional cuisine is reinterpreted in a new modern way.
The restaurant is located in the heart of the countryside, not so far from Saluzzo where the mountains begins.
This allows to have the excellences of the territory available and to use fresh and quality products.
Today there is a large hall ready to accommodate larger groups, three more reserved rooms and a bright air-conditioned and heated outdoor veranda.
Alberto Demaria, chef and owner of the restaurant, was born in Saluzzo on 23th June 1981.
Passionate about cooking since childhood, he decided to undertake culinary studies at the Dronero cooking school and then work in the best restaurants of the region.
After several experiences and having worked as a chef for some local restaurants and farmhouse, he decided to take over the Locanda del Chiostro for creating "Il Sigillo".
He is married to Anna Chiavazza and they have two children: Paolo and Stefania.
