Shared Experience
Your experience

    Together we will take a journey through tradition in a convivial and authentic atmosphere. In an evening that smells of herbs and magic, we will prepare tortelli by coloring the pastry with freshly picked herbs. The filling? Ricotta, spinach, Grana Padano cheese and a precious selection of medicinal herbs (fennel, chives, mint) to enhance the hints of field and legend. Nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and the filling is ready to embrace the pastry, resulting in tortelli that taste of festivity and ancient rituals. If you can be there in the evenings around June 24, we will also prepare the water of prosperity, protection, and well-being together.

    Siamo stati molto ben accolti da Simona, molto simpatica e allegra. La lezione è stata davvero interessante, abbiamo imparato a fare i tortelli: buonissimo e il tutto accompagnato con vino bianco locale. È stata una giornata molto gradevole! Complimenti Simona, bravissima! Grazie mille Odete e Salvador di Brasile 🍾🍾🍾🌺🌺

    Each dish is a story, a deep connection to my land and the traditions I carry in my heart. My cooking is made of memory and passion, of authentic ingredients that turn every bite into a journey through genuine flavors and childhood memories.
     
     The marubini, small parcels of pasta filled with meat, evoke the warmth of my home and the love with which my mother used to prepare them. Fresh pasta is a hymn to nature: tagliatelle, lasagna, and tortelli stuffed with borage, pumpkin, or wild herbs tell stories of forests and fields, where wild herbs grow spontaneously, giving off unmistakable fragrances.
     
     Polenta with rabbit is the dish of family and tradition, simple and comforting, where the softness of the polenta blends with the delicacy of the meat. Then there's cotechino with lentils, a classic of the holidays, perfectly balanced with homemade mustard, an explosion of sweetness and spiciness that connects the past with the present.
     
     There are also fresh and light dishes, like zucchini lasagna with ricotta, perfect for summer, or fried stuffed zucchini flowers, picked at dawn to preserve their delicacy and transformed into a crispy delight. There's wild hop frittata, which tastes of the countryside and simplicity, and nettle risotto, a tribute to the wild nature that every year gifts me with the pleasure of foraging.
     
     Even in desserts, I celebrate the beauty of the land: shortcrust pastry with wild fruits tells the generosity of nature.
     
     The family garden is my secret ally: every day it provides me with fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. My recipes change with the seasons, following the gifts of the earth, and are designed to be enjoyed by everyone, especially those intolerant to gluten. Because every dish is not just food, but an experience of authenticity, love for care, and tradition.
