Between Langhe and Monferrato, at the heart of the UNESCO wine landscapes.
Whether Asti is your destination or a stop on your journey through the UNESCO wine landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, BAO offers a different way to enjoy lunch.
You may be visiting for the autumn wine festivals, the summer concerts, the historic parades of September, or simply exploring the hills on a romantic weekend. From Douja d’Or, Asti’s international wine festival, and AstiMusica, the city’s summer music festival, to the Alba International White Truffle Fair and Asti’s Christmas markets, you will find BAO in the historic centre of Asti.
Here, Asian-inspired cuisine is reimagined through plant-based ingredients. Every dish is entirely vegan and prepared in our dedicated gluten-free kitchen.
A different kind of lunch, at the heart of an unforgettable journey.
Plants first
Plant-based is not a label.
It's our creative language.
When vegetables become the starting point, they stop being a substitute. Every dish begins with the same question: what happens when plants stop imitating and start creating?
That's why BAO doesn't reproduce traditional recipes. It reimagines them.
Through fermentation, low-temperature cooking, steamed bread and ingredients prepared in our own dedicated kitchen, we create a cuisine inspired by Asia without trying to copy it.
How BAO is made
We work with every ingredient in our own dedicated kitchen to develop flavour, texture and clean recipes.
For us, innovation doesn't mean making things more complicated. It means removing everything that isn't necessary.
