OUR APPROACH TO FOOD

The seasonality of our food is a given, for full, fresh, natural flavour, proper husbandry and respect for sustainability.

Our restaurant adopts the Slow Food Movement’s approach to cooking, which aims to use natural ingredients, grown or foraged locally.

Our menu is influenced by the many different crops that are homegrown in our kitchen gardens, including fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This ensures that only the freshest ingredients are used in our dishes. Often, the vegetables you eat in the restaurant were growing in the gardens earlier that day! The ingredients that we do not produce ourselves are sourced from trusted local suppliers, who share our passion for purity and flavour. Traceability also continues with the wine, sourced from our own vineyard.

THE SETTING

A haven of Italian charm

The restaurant is in a perfect position, tucked away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the main piazzas, yet still in the centre of Dolceacqua.

During the warmer months, drink and dine from our romantic and peaceful terrace, under a canopy of fruit trees, all while experiencing the sights, tastes and smells of an Italian summer’s day.

The inside of the restaurant is cosy and rustic and takes you back in time, retaining the original features of the building, such as its ancient olive press.

MENU

Guests may choose options from the chef’s four course tasting menu or for those with a smaller appetite it is possible to select dishes individually.
