Villa Sobrano - Country House in ItalyThe Restaurant
The Italian kitchen offers simple food.
Already at the roman period, the creativity was considered an art.
Famous descriptions come from writers like Seneca, Petronio, Marziale and Lucullo. The workers in the kitchens followed a gerarchy with the head-chef acting as master. The richest people even used to have tablecloths and napkins. Around the 16th century was born the gastronomic literature and in the 19th some books of receipes were published.
Our kitchen express itself in a special way above all through the regions showing the custom and the weather.

Flavours of Umbria
Umbria is the green heart of Italy, with simple people that feel the rural origins and that its famous for its food. Food that we can find in the Etruscan period with strong ingredients, probably less elegant but tasty. We talk about oil, ham, meat and during the sunsets of autumn is possible to smell truffles and mushrooms.
Cooking with Us
Our cooking classes come from receipes of the 19th century and take place trying to reflect the traditions and the customs of the house to preserve culture and tradition.
It was a custom in the houses of rich people to give a lot of importance to the FOOD, to the quality and to the way the food was served. All the used ingredients came from the private cultivations.
The crew in the kitchen followed a gerarchy, first the Governess as supervisor, she reported what the owners wanted to eat, then the chef plus one or two assistants and then the waiters.
The preparation of the food was very attent.
We care a lot the time and the taste, that make our food so special.
The world goes fast so we try to go slow to make every emotion longer, every taste more intense.
