The elegance of the dining room, refined and stately, enriched with works of art, makes it worthy of the most important occasions. The menu tells the family's gastronomic story, born from the talent of father Elia and today carried on by his son Matteo Rizzo: most of today's dishes bear his signature and are distinguished by a fresh and light touch, without however abandoning the forefather's classic recipes. Not to be missed is the historic butter and mascarpone mantecato, served with bread at the beginning of the meal. Also interesting is the "Chapter 43" tasting menu, a journey through tradition, territory, and iconic dishes, from the year of opening (1982) to today.
