the chef
Hands in the soil, wheels on the road,
food on the fire
A cook and cyclist, sometimes a gardener and a handyman. Felipe never stops. Years before Casa Della Capra he was already running Bike&Food tours, guiding groups through beautiful Italian landscapes and delicious food at its source.
His passion for Italian cuisine dates back to childhood, but it was only after he finished a degree in Economics that he attended ICIF (cookery school) in southern Piedmont. Previous experiences include working on the food and beverage sector, hosting a TV cooking show and as a personal chef.
the restaurant
It comes as a natural process, after almost 5 years of experimenting and maturing our unique identity.
We are ready to embrace our South American and Italian roots, taking the best of both to create dishes that prioritise local ingredients, seasonal vegetables, with selected meats and an outstanding flavour of fire.
CONVIVIALITY
Conviviality is sitting down without hurry.
It’s sharing bread, wine, stories and silence.
At Restaurant Fuoco & Brace, we believe that the best experiences are born from encounters — between ingredients, territory and people.

Our guestS' words
"Beautiful lakeside location… family lunch with tastings of various appetizers and a shared “picanha.” Everything was truly delicious!!! Attentive and friendly staff…
We then rented bicycles for a short ride through the nearby villages.
Highly recommended!!!"

fuoco is where everything begins
Before the kitchen, before recipes, before even the table — there was fire.
It gathers, transforms, and gives time its meaning.
At Casa della Capra, fire is both origin and language.
It is where we cook, where we wait, and where we honor the natural rhythm of ingredients.
The brace & South American Heritage
Our cuisine is born from the grill and South American tradition.
Inspired by the cultures of southern America — where fire is the heart of social life — we work with carefully selected regional meats, respecting the cut, the timing, and the right heat.
Nothing rushes the fire.
Nothing forces the ingredient.
The result is a cuisine that is direct, intense, and honest.
The Cooking
We don’t use a single fire. We use the right fire for each story.
Braseiro
For picanha and ribeye
The brazier works with intense, direct heat.
It is the classic fire of South American parrilla, ideal for cuts that demand crust, reaction, and juiciness.
Here, control of the embers defines everything.

Knowledge is meant to be shared and lived. At Fuoco & Brace, you will also find space to learn and enjoy moments of immersion in Italian cuisine.
