The story
Acqua e Farina serves modern pizza in Biella, drawing directly from the expertise of founder Nicolò Benna. He launched the venue in January 2022 with a delivery focus that quickly earned a Faccino Contento ++ rating from ilGolosario. His background as a panettiere dictates the fermentation process, yielding a crust that remains remarkably light and easy to digest. Patrons may select whole wheat or seven grain bases to suit their dietary preferences.
The kitchen honors Neapolitan pie traditions while arranging over forty distinct compositions across the menu. Crispy peperoni cruschi complements spicy sausage on a classic round, while another features mortadella, fresh pesto, crushed pistachios, and a sharp balsamic glaze. Salmon and provola cheese appear alongside dill for a brighter profile, and a smoked burrata rests atop a smooth radicchio cream. These pairings respect traditional methods while allowing precise customization.
The initial takeaway model expanded into a comfortable indoor space where families gather around shared tables. A dedicated vegetarian and vegan selection runs alongside the main lineup, featuring broccoletti with hummus and vegetable burgers packed with seasonal produce. Nicolò and his wife Elena oversee consistent quality across both savory plates and house baked desserts like creamy tiramisu or fruit sorbetto. Small dogs are permitted inside, and staff readily pack leftover slices upon request.
