Menu

• Friggione

A traditional sauce originating from Emilia-Romagna. It features a savoury blend of slow-cooked onions, tomatoes, and lard or olive oil, resulting in a rich and flavourful condiment. It's often served as a spread on crusty bread or tigelle.

• Wild Boar Stew

A rustic dish featuring succulent wild boar, sweet carrots, and aromatic onions. The boar is seared and simmered with tomatoes for a touch of acidity, while juniper berries add a unique, piney flavour. This hearty stew captures the essence of countryside cooking with its rich and balanced taste.

• Polenta

A classic Northern Italian dish made from coarsely ground cornmeal. Often served as a base for meats and stews, polenta can be enjoyed soft and creamy or allowed to set and then grilled or fried. Its mild, comforting flavour makes it a versatile and beloved staple in Italian cuisine
