This typical italian restaurant is hard to find, it's a 15 minute drive from downtown and at the beginning of the motorway. We were there through people living in Milan and even they had trouble finding it ... Behind the trees very hard to find. When you drive there it doesn't going to look like a restaurant. The driveway is bumpy and looks terrible, than turning into the 'parking lot' et voila the Mercedes and BMW's are awaiting you. It's a lovely old house and you just enter through the front door.

You eat in the 'living room' with the old paintings on the wall. Typical Italian lighting, bright, too much (to our habbits).

We started with a selection of meat, like ham, coppa, salami together with fresh mushrooms with parmesan cheese and olive oil. With some artichock in olive oil.
The meat was a real treat and the mushrooms had a kind of sweet taste very nice.

Than we had a risotto al funghi.
Was a nice risotto As main dish we had a tender piece of meat cut into pieces (beef steak) and well prepared with some mushrooms. Indeed it's mushroom time. The truffels are almost over but the mushrooms are wide available.

As dessert we had a kind of Panatone, with cream inside drenched in Grand Marnier and put in the oven.
Not too sweet and something from the region perfect for a dessert.

Of course an espresso to finish, not as good as the ones I had in town but so much better than in Holland. When you want a typical region style kitchen in a real Italian environment not visited by tourists where they serve you well for a good meal ask the cab driver to take you there. Call for reservations and if they are open, they can be closed during the Sundays. Just ask for the specialties of this region.
