14/03/2024: Located on the hills, the place offers lovely views and great rural atmosphere. Great food an excellent service.

02/03/2024: Magical atmosphere both for the location (a farmhouse expertly restored by the owner who is a surveyor very attentive to the "original" conservation of the works) and for the staff from whom one perceives a serene, collaborative and friendly working environment. The two labradors Polpetta (Etta for the intimate ones) and Blu were fantastic, as was their human mother with whom we pleasantly chatted and who told us how their adventure in wine production and catering began. The food is simply FANTASTIC tasty and not at all greasy. It is known that to make an appreciable food, very tasty condiments are often used, for example by creaming risotto with mascarpone. Here this does not happen thanks to the wise and careful choice of the basic ingredients. Suffice it to say that we tasted a typical Lombard dish, cassœula, which is essentially a stew based on cabbage and various parts of pork including the rind. Normally consuming this dish for dinner is inadvisable as it is difficult to digest, and the Lombard tradition even includes a "preparation" based on grappa to be consumed before having lunch with cassœula. Well we had dinner with onion soup risotto as first courses and a second course based on cassœula... slept peacefully!! Last, but not least, the truly excellent wine they produce, thanks to the large vineyards they own which are visible when arriving at this wonderful restaurant. It deserves 6 stars. Compliments!
