Our Menu
Our starters

We breed pigs scrupulously by altering the diet with vegetable waste and selected feed. The processing is carried out in our butchery. You can visit it near our farmhouse.
Our main courses
Capunsei
With butter and sage. This is a dish of Solferino tradition. They appear in a cylindrical and tapered shape. This dish takes us back to the times of Gonzaga.
Pumpkin tortelli of Mantua tradition
The pumpkin tortello is a typical dish of Mantua cuisine and the tradition dates
it back to 1500 with the progressive affirmation of pumpkin’s cultivation coming from Central America. The purpose of these preparations was to obtain a tasty
and nutritious dish just with what the farmer economy provided.
Also for this reason it has become typical in the Po Valley’s cuisine.
Today this is still deeply rooted.
