"This little resturant actually was a tip from our host and we weren't disappointed! After a long day of walking and driving we just wanted to grab some real food but this was amazing. My friends had some pizza and I ordered some Pasta with scampi and saffron. I never had Pasta like this before! Check it out if you are near! Service was also great!"

"If you want to experience excellent food and atmosphere while eating 8 courses over three hours, this is the place to go! Recommended by a local in Carezzano, this organic cooperative is a farm, vineyard, farm shop and restaurant. We were lucky enough to get a table on a busy Sunday lunchtime. They have recently expanded and built a new outdoor dining area which overlooks the vineyard and surrounding hills. A really stunning location to sit outside, enjoy the views of the countryside and eat excellent food. We don’t speak Italian but one of the serving staff spoke English and guided us through the afternoon with great charm and generosity! Everyone is served the same dishes which appear at regular intervals. Tip don’t eat too much of the bread which comes at the start of the meal. It’s delicious but there is LOTS more food to come. A really fresh salad with goats cheese starts off the meal, followed by the antipasti a selection of farm salami and prosciutto. Then there is the carpaccio of raw beef with parmesan and lemon, aubergine parmigiana which was delicious and I don’t like aubergine!! , risotto, then the pasta, a local version of ravioli Angolitti which was filled with really tender meat. You eventually reach the main, which on this occasion was tender beef and courgettes. Desert was a choice of peaches with sugar and ice cream. Peaches are in season at the moment August and are so different in taste from the ones you buy in a supermarket. A chocolate mouse and semifredo with gratings of white chocolate was also available. We drank local, organic, wine throughout the meal, recommended be the staff and finished with dark coffee. This was certainly a meal and venue to remember. We think the menu changes each time depending on seasonal produce so, something different on every visit."
