Corsican tapas restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea in Pigna

Recommended by the Guide du Routard for over 20 years, A Casarella is located in the heart of the village of Pigna, in Balagne. Open from April through October (closed on Saturdays), it offers all-day service featuring Corsican tapas made with local, seasonal, and mostly organic ingredients, to be enjoyed on its terrace overlooking the sea.

A relaxed dinner-style aperitif with a view of the sea

The tapas can be enjoyed as a meal or as a dinner-style aperitif to share on the terrace—one of A Casarella's main attractions—with a sea view enhanced by the sunsets over the west coast.

The Corsican Tapas Concept - I Piattini

I Piattini are A Casarella's Corsican tapas, showcasing the island's local produce. Depending on the season, these Corsican tapas are prepared using organic vegetables from the garden, Corsican cheeses, artisanal cured meats, marinated anchovies, olive tapenade, chickpea purée, or other homemade recipes made with local ingredients.

Why book at A Casarella?

With seating for about 100 guests, A Casarella is regularly fully booked in July and August. It is therefore advisable to make a reservation a few days in advance during this period. Depending on availability, you can request a table with a panoramic view, a partial view, or no view.

Service is available all day long

For a more relaxed experience, A Casarella offers continuous service from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., giving you more flexibility to visit outside of traditional lunch hours.

Organic, seasonal Corsican tapas

A Casarella's menu changes with the seasons from April through October, prioritizing local, organic ingredients and produce from the garden. From vegetables to aromatic herbs, right down to the drinks served in glass bottles, every detail reflects a commitment to quality and respect for the environment.

The tapas are prepared entirely on-site using fresh ingredients. Depending on the harvest and daily deliveries, you can enjoy a bell pepper stuffed with brocciu, bread made with garden-fresh tomatoes, olive oil, and fleur de sel, chickpea purée, artisanal olive tapenade, or seasonal raw vegetables prepared in the Corsican style.

The menu changes regularly and showcases several producers from Balagne and Corsica: artichoke cream with hazelnuts from Cervioni (I Balanini), olivade from Speloncato, marinated anchovies, tomatoes with pesto, Corsican cheeses served with fig jam, artisanal charcuterie, or sheep's milk tomme, depending on availability.

The menu is rounded out by a selection of artisanal Corsican beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic: kombucha, syrups, beers, AOP wines, or local wines.

Tapas for vegetarians and vegans

The menu also includes several tapas dishes tailored and designed for vegetarians and vegans.

Tapas are available à la carte or as a platter of 8 tapas to share (€44). They are served in small ramekins alongside a basket of artisanal bread from the Amadeus bakery in Calenzana. A gluten-free flatbread is available upon request.

The menu changes with the seasons, depending on the garden's harvest and produce from our partner Corsican farmers. As a result, some dishes are only available for a few weeks each year.

Children's menu and games

A Casarella also offers a children's menu inspired by Corsica: sheep's milk tomme cheese, tomatoes, sausage, and organic breadsticks—all made right here. A huge hit since its launch in 2019, the toy basket will delight both kids and parents alike and is available for self-service on the terrace.

Artisanal kombucha and the A Casarella atmosphere
