Situated in the village of Pigna, Balagne, A Casarella restaurant handpicks organic products from the garden, which vary with the seasons, and can be enjoyed as expertly crafted tapas or as freshly pressed juices of the day, all while taking in the views of the sea and the plain from the terrace.
Panoramic Terrace and Sea Views

With seating for approximately one hundred guests, the restaurant is fully booked during the peak season and invites you to make reservations, if possible, a few days before your planned visit. Depending on the available seating, you can specify the location you desire (excellent view, average view, no view).
Corsican Tapas on the Menu - Seasonal and Organic
Local, seasonal, and organic agricultural products, vegetables from the garden, even glass bottles of mineral water - each ingredient reflects a commitment to quality and environmental sensibility. A Casarella invites you to rediscover simple, tasty flavors.
The restaurant operates on the principle of tapas, prepared with seasonal raw vegetables from April to mid-July, but also includes small prepared dishes with a Corsican touch, such as peppers stuffed with brocciu.
Culinary pleasure is delivered through daily products combined in a myriad of ways.
On the menu: A Casarella offers a suggestion of the day from April to July which then transforms into tapas of the day, such as bread with organic (non-hybrid) tomatoes from the garden, olive oil, and fleur de sel.
