Restaurant
Mom Rosy supervises the kitchen, while chef Sereno, aided by his crew, is dedicated to preparing the dishes with love. The menu follows the rhythm of the 4 seasons, offering recipes based on the best, freshest local ingredients available at that time of year, with the constant addition of three principal ingredients: Love, Imagination and Passion. The result is delicious, authentic local cuisine with a wide selection of tasty dishes. Some of the recipes are handed down from our great-grandmother, Rosa.

Appetizers
The traditional dishes of the Lusian territory are served as an appetiser. During the winter season it consists of: local mixed cold cuts, fresh cheeses, a basket of parmesan stuffed with porcini mushrooms on a polenta nest, dried meat, apples and pears. During the spring and summer season, the tray of cold cuts is accompanied by snacks of herbs, asparagus and artichoke mousse and savory pies with local herbs.
First Course Dishes
The chefs like to prepare homemade pasta such as bigoli, gnocchi, fettuccine, gargati, ravioli, pappardelle, oven-baked pasta, while on request excellent risottos are prepared. In spring, we serve various dishes with tasty, wild plants harvested in the nearby fields and woods, while in autumn, we suggest specialties based on fresh local fruits, mushrooms and nuts, such as roasted chestnuts and walnuts.
Second Course Dishes
For second course lovers, in addition to the classic Veneto dishes (braised veal shank with polenta or sun-dried cod cooked in a savory milk sauce), you can try our wild meat specialties such as deer, wild boar or venison. Meat roasted over a wood-fire barbecue is our pride and joy with dishes such as beef or venison steak and T-Bone steak (Costate Fiorentine). By ordering ahead, you can also enjoy an ostrich, kangaroo or bison steak.
Desserts and Wines
The desserts are strictly homemade. In addition to the traditional homemade ones new and creative desserts are also served, pleasantly surprising everyone and satisfying every taste. Special orders can also be placed for special occasions such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries, baptisms and communions. We also offer an extensive wine list that lets you choose the right wine for every item on the menu.
Pizza
Our menu offers a wide selection of pizzas to appeal to all tastes, from the simple and delicious “Margherita” pizza to delicious, innovative pizzas that will appeal to those who want to try something new, to our special pizzas. All our pizzas are cooked in a wood fired pizza oven. We encourage guests to enjoy them together with an excellent glass of draft or bottled beer.
Flavors
The local food and wine we use are guaranteed by Italian law to be from the surrounding area (Denominazione comunale d’origine) such as the apples, pears and cured beef and horse meat. Besides the De.C.O. products, we buy local products such as honey, cheeses and salami from the mountain dairies and farms and many other products that can be bought from the Lusiana area.
In springtime, exploring the nearby fields and woods, many plants can be harvested, such as dandelions (pissacan), carlette (silene vulgaris), poppies (puatele), nettles (ortiche), wild asparagus (bruscandoli) and wild spinach (farinele). These and many more are common ingredients for our tasty and genuine cuisine.
In winter, as well as many varieties of wild mushrooms, we also serve dishes with chestnuts and wild nuts. The Vicenza area is ripe with fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables and wild plants used in our kitchen; for example, the delicious cherries from Marostica, asparagus from Bassano del Grappa and brocolo fiolaro (wild broccoli) harvested in Creazzo.
