Closing Day
Arrà is located in Sale San Giovanni, in the most secluded heart of the Alta Langa, inside the Herb Pyramid: a contemporary piece of architecture surrounded by lavender fields, medicinal crops, and hills.
A place where nature is not just a backdrop, but accompanies the experience from the moment of arrival.
The panoramic position and relaxed atmosphere make Arrà a destination suitable for a romantic dinner, a day trip for lunch, or a special occasion to be celebrated away from the frantic pace of daily life.
Even the name reflects this philosophy: “arrà” comes from the local dialect and recalls the verb to plow, an ancient gesture that prepares the earth and requires care and patience before the harvest.
The image perfectly captures the spirit of the project, born from the desire to build something essential and authentic, respecting nature’s timing and things done well.
Long tied to the hostel and the culture of medicinal herbs, this iconic piece of architecture in Sale San Giovanni now welcomes Arrà and a new gastronomy and hospitality project.
The large glass windows follow the outline of the Pyramid, filling the room with the light of the Alta Langa, which changes with every hour and season.
After over ten years in the London restaurant scene, they chose the Langhe to build a new culinary and hospitality project together.
The Kitchen
Local ingredients for boundless inspiration
The cuisine at Arrà is born from the meeting of Piedmontese raw materials and the international experience of Constantin and Iulia.
After a journey that began in Romania and continued through Italy and London, the two chose Alta Langa to shape a contemporary offering, guided by technique but deeply connected to the seasons and the territory.
The menu moves naturally through vegetables, meat, and fish, combining selected ingredients, influences from different cuisines, and careful processing, from slow cooking to fermentation.
Completing the journey are Iulia’s artisanal desserts, where precision and balance transform pastry into the final, essential chapter of the experience.
A refined yet accessible cuisine, capable of looking far ahead without losing the bond with the place that hosts it.

N° of Seats
The offerings follow the seasons, spanning meat, fish, and vegetables without being confined to a single tradition.
The salted caramel tart with pear and ginger sorbet reflects a style of pastry making built on precision, balance, and contrast.
Grilling over embers is an ancient and universal technique: at Arrà, it becomes a meeting point for raw ingredients, marinades, and inspirations from different cuisines.
The hostel
Sleeping at the Herb Pyramid
In the same complex that houses the restaurant, there are six rooms with a simple and informal atmosphere: four can accommodate up to four people and two up to six, for a total of 28 beds.
Each room has its own private bathroom, a detail that makes sharing more comfortable and gives each group their own autonomy.
Staying for the night means extending the experience without haste and waking up to the Alta Langa landscape. Sale San Giovanni is a great starting point for walking through the medicinal herb fields, exploring nearby villages, or cycling along the roads that cross these hills.
A base for sharing
Every room features a private bathroom: because traveling together is wonderful, but having a space to yourself is just as important.
Backpacks set down, the next day’s itinerary planned, and a few stories before sleep: the multi-bed rooms are designed for those exploring the Alta Langa together.
A double bed alongside single beds allows families to stay together in a simple, functional setup for adults and children alike.
