The Home Restaurant, literally a restaurant in a home, is a new way to deepen the journey being undertaken, also through food.
The menu is offered according to the season, and the dishes are cooked fresh using produce grown in the garden and zero-kilometre ingredients from our mountains. The recipes are typical of the area, and the flavours are simple but genuine, perfect to enjoy among friends in the intimacy of grandparents’ kitchen, amid stories, tales, and anecdotes from the past that enrich the experience and the holiday.
For Elisa, the joy of having a guest for dinner is a unique moment. Food is like a comfort she offers to her guests to make them feel at home even along the Way... the Via Degli Dei.
Home Restaurant Opening Hours:
Open all year round by reservation only.
