You can browse our menu to discover creative dishes crafted both for a refreshing lunch break and for warm summer evenings.

The true highlights of our cuisine are the ingredients we grow directly in our own kitchen garden, paired with outstanding local produce, bronze-drawn homemade pasta, and unique specialties like Miele Millebuche honey. This zero-kilometer philosophy finds its ideal home in the Euganean Hills territory, officially designated as a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve in July 2024. This prestigious recognition protects an extraordinary 341-square-kilometer area rich in volcanic biodiversity, historical thermal springs, and centuries-old traditions. Cooking in this environment means honoring a living, protected ecosystem for us, bringing its authentic and sustainable soul to your plate.

• Zero-kilometer vegetables and aromatic herbs, harvested daily from our own garden to preserve aromas, freshness, and nutritional properties.
• Bronze-drawn homemade pasta, like our traditional bigoli, prepared daily to guarantee extraordinary texture and firmness.
• Miele Millebuche, a wildflower nectar unique in the world produced by the bees that inhabit and protect the rich flora of our golf course.
• Volcanic wines from the nearby Tenuta Emo Capodilista, perfect pairings to enhance the complexity and elegance of every course.
