Antonio and Tiziana, together with their mother Vittorina, carry on the culinary tradition with passion and professionalism.

Home-made specialities are: “arborelle in carpione” (marinated little lake fishes with vinegar, onion, carrots and aromatic herbs), “missoltino con polenta” (exsiccate lake fish with polenta), rice with perch and the delicious “paradell”, a simple dessert of a time ago made with flour, milk and cut apples.
