Within the walls of the Orsini Fortress in Sorano is the gastronomic voice of a still wild and uncontaminated land, where we offer you a simple cuisine that uses local ingredients as much as possible, always genuine, fresh, and selected according to seasonality and availability. The taste of the kitchen is based on the knowledge of products and producers, on the experiences lived by the restauranteur, and on his passion for cooking and living the good life!
Built by the Aldobrandeschi Family in the 12th Century, it represents a true masterpiece of defensive architecture. Crossing the ancient drawbridge and entering the space once inhabited by those who wrote history will give you a real dive into the past as well as the opportunity to enjoy a unique food and wine experience.
Sorano is an ancient jewel, the last among the villages of Tuscany to still express an original and non-touristic character. Ancient homes perched on the tuffaceous boulders like a house of cards, still partly marked by the erosion of time, but representing the history and popular traditions of the area. We can only advise you to go and get lost in the alleys of the Borgo, get to know its simple people, understand their origins and characters, experience the slow rhythms of a place that still seems attached to the past.
We use 0 km products as much as possible with the awareness of fueling a project where production, distribution, and consumption all take place within the same territory, making its economies and its development sustainable. We research the ingredients of the area with the idea of offering you its best features: the complete absence of pollution, the traditional nature of the transformation processes, the innovative and enlightened choices of producers, and respect for the ecosystem that hosts them.
We select products not only from our territory, but those products that consistently meet our quality standards from the gastronomic market. Whether from the grill or among the dishes from our kitchen, you will find non-territorial products that allow us to complete our gastronomic offer while ALWAYS maintaining our link to the territory through combinations and flavors
Even if you arrive in the area with a desire for homemade pasta and hearty game stews, don’t pass up a chance to discover our idea of gastronomy. An aperitif in the square consisting of local wines and foods of the territory will add extra pampering to your stay.
We have sourced a list of producers for whom trends and marketing do not prevail over quality and personal passion for one of the most beautiful vocations in the world. We enjoy thinking about the future by returning to the past, creating a constantly evolving selection where the land, the vines and the winemakers are the true protagonists. The attention to our mother land, cultivated by those who express their identity through the fruit of their work, “wine seen as a poetic expression of the earth”.
