Set up by the master-confectioners Stratta and Reina, the café is the place to go for sweets and dragées, Giandiuotti and pralines, marrons glacés and candied fruit. Invoices made out to, and stamped by, Count Cavour for his receptions at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are jealously preserved in the museum in Santena. An official supplier to the Royal Household of Savoy and awarded countless honours that are proudly displayed on antique boxes, this nineteenth-century gem has maintained its Charles Albert interiors, furnishings and original wooden façade, all beautifully restored in 2010
