A Casarella Restaurant in Pigna - Corsican Tapas
Réservation par téléphone, un à plusieurs jours à l'avance en saison. Merci
A Casarella is a Balagne restaurant in the village of Pigna, offering a selection of organic produce from the garden that changes with the seasons, to be enjoyed in the form of expertly-cooked tapas and fruit juices of the moment, while taking in the view of the sea and the plain from the terrace.
Panoramic terrace with sea views
Recommended by the Guide du Routard for over 20 years, the Tapas restaurant A Casarella is located in Pigna, a typical Balagne village with cobbled streets frequented by many tourists every year. A Casarella is open from April to October (closed on Saturdays), offering simple, high-quality food all day long, with lots of local and organic produce, and continuous service - the ideal way to forget the time during your holidays.
Terrace with sea views
Another of the A Casarella restaurant's assets is the panoramic view from its terrace, which no customer can miss, with a view over the plain and the sea sublimated by the Balagne sunsets.
Bookings in July and August
With seating for around a hundred, the restaurant is fully booked at the height of the season, so book as far in advance as possible. Depending on the number of seats available, you can specify the location you would like (very good view, medium view, no view).
Corsican tapas on the menu - Seasonal and organic
From local, seasonal and organic produce, to vegetables from the garden, right down to the glass bottles of mineral water, every ingredient is subject to a commitment to quality and good environmental sense. A Casarella invites you to rediscover simple, tasty flavours.
The restaurant offers tapas based on seasonal raw vegetables from April to mid-July, as well as small dishes with a Corsican flavour, such as peppers stuffed with brocciu.
Culinary delights with fresh produce combined in a variety of sauces.
A la carte: A Casarella offers a suggestion of the day from April to July, which can be transformed into tapas of the day, such as bread with organic (not hybrid) tomatoes from the garden, olive oil and fleur de sel.
