16/03/2026: The experience at La Madia was memorable, one of the most significant of all, one that leaves its mark... as if marking a before and after. This place is unique! It calls itself a "trattoria," but not in the often reductive sense... few places do they do research at this level... Michele Valotti is a giant! It was an immense pleasure to meet such an interesting person and an extraordinary chef, and it was extremely enriching to spend time chatting and sharing... Michele appears to be a restless person because he is curious and constantly torn between studying and researching values, history, products, techniques, tastes, and flavors. Passionate because he loves his work to the point of being almost obsessed with it... But at the same time serene and at peace... he has achieved such maturity and awareness of the values ​​that inspire him and that he wants to share. His cuisine questions and inspires... He appears completely uninterested in the praise of others (guests or critics). Unlike many of his colleagues, he has no need for self-satisfaction... he is the anti-star par excellence. His culinary thinking has reached such depth that it has become a mission and a veritable manifesto. His brilliant creativity inspired him to create "a polenta and gorgonzola" without using the cheese... His knowledge of the ingredients and technique, and his constant research and experimentation, allow him to achieve this by inoculating the polenta with gorgonzola mushroom spores... And the result is a legendary dish that deceives the eye and amazes the palate... We chose the 10-course menu. The bread made with evolutionary grains and its own sourdough starter is wonderful... And to accompany it... goose fat flavored with smoked butter and rosemary that melts before your eyes... Toward the end of the experience, thrilled by the experience, before dessert, we asked the chef if he'd like to offer us another dish off the menu... Of course, Michele Valotti accepted the challenge, improvising another extraordinary dish: blanched cauliflower in fennel broth, accompanied by white truffle ice cream... And while we wait... a beautiful tempeh of Tuscia lentils, "copafam" beans from Val Camomica, and chickpeas, toasted and simmered with shoyu sauce, dandelion leaf pesto inside, and grapes... They have an extremely interesting list of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, both for aperitifs or after-dinner drinks, or to accompany the tasting... The wine list, in keeping with the philosophy of this wonderful place, is also small but carefully selected; Many biodynamic and natural wines from small artisanal winemakers. We tasted a wonderful juice of the day as an aperitif and an extraordinary coffee kombucha to finish the meal. To accompany the experience, we chose an excellent Barbacarlo by Lino Maga. Seasonal, wild ingredients, heirloom varieties. Small, select producers and artisans. Central to plants. Limited protein from wild or free-range animals. Natural and spontaneous fermentations. A cuisine that shines from the ostentatious representation of a "tradition" as a collection of recipes, as the crystallization of something that has been, as a form of standardization, but which explores the roots, culture, and history of gastronomy as something in constant motion, interpreting its evolution and becoming part of it. A living cuisine that doesn't seek static perfection or presumed balance, that accepts no compromises, but pursues authenticity as the valorization, through technique, of the ingredient, offering an experience that engages all the senses and dishes that vividly explore the flavors and tastes that are revealed. A cuisine that explores and invites exploration, stimulating curiosity and often arousing wonder, magic, and emotion...
