The theme dinners ...

0036_TenutaQuarrata with the approaching end of the year we feel invaded by the desire to meet friends, relatives, colleagues or classmates to exchange impressions, greetings and news. We're usually all taken by work, family or otherwise, the houses are too small for everyone acogliere and the desire to escape from the usual "bustle" is so, we usually end up happily together for dinner somewhere ... and this "somewhere" is often a problem because the restaurants are crowded and theres no intimacy, one must remember that you are not alone ...

We're only you, our guests, our room can accommodate 60 people, but also cooked for smaller groups, and you are sure to be the only ones with any living room available, free to listen to the music you like and have a menu "adhoc", specially designed for you, as you want.

For example, these days we will be hosting a vegetarian dinner for a group of friends, with lots of appetizers to vegetables and cheese, couscous with vegetables, polenta, risotto, omelets and a nice cake to finish the evening ... then it's all still enjoy together ...

fun in the kitchen ....

foto ferragosto 015 Once a chef told me that the kitchen had to be serious and woe to those who laughed ... I am not of this opinion, in fact when we put ourselves in the kitchen we hear the laughter from afar. Work can be fun and our kitchen sounds of happy voices and laughter in the air but we feel the smell of food ...

Joy does not diminish the quality of our dishes, always served with simple but genuine good humor. The hours spent in the kitchen can be tiring but not heavy ... never in good company time passes quickly and work flows. Our guests appreciate our cuisine is that our good mood.
