Call to book Directions

Under the stone vault.

The palazzo dates from the 18th century and looks down on the square in Calmasino. You step into a dining room with a vaulted ceiling, all in stone.

The kitchen is open, so you can watch your food being prepared. In summer the courtyard opens too, with its lavender.

On the plate: recipes from Verona and the lake, reworked with a modern touch. The menu changes with the seasons.

A table laid outdoors in the courtyard, among an olive tree, flower beds and the surrounding houses.

The menu follows the seasons.
