About us
A story that feels like home
La Pignese was founded in 1919 by Giacomo Ventimiglia and has remained in the hands of the same family ever since. Mario, his son, continued the tradition alongside his football career.
The true soul of the restaurant was Renza, wife and mother, the heart and mind of the business. Today, Marco represents the third generation, with the same love for cooking and his roots.
The recipes and legacy of the women of the house make La Pignese's culinary identity unique.
