Ada Riolfi e Carlotta Marchesini dal 1996 accolgono i buongustai nel cuore della Valpolicella, in un ristorante-enoteca ricavato nel fienile di un complesso rurale risalente al XV secolo. Lo si raggiunge, con po’ di pazienza, girando per vigneti pregiati e stradine disegnate da muri di pietra. Salendo dalla corte al primo piano, sotto grandi travi e tra mobili d’annata l’atmosfera è elegantemente rustica, con il tema dell’uva a caratterizzare arredi e corredi.
Materie prime in gran parte locali per piatti ben chiari nella confezione e nell’aspetto, immuni da tentazioni eccessivamente immaginose: la ricotta dei monti Lessini servita con la mostarda di mele o utilizzata nei ravioli, la soppressa accompagnata da giardiniera di verdure, il riso della Bassa profumato in pentola da erbe selvatiche, le ciliegie messe in salsa per accompagnare il galletto arrosto, i formaggi “Monte Veronese” di malga.
Con i vini Doc della zona sono realizzate le cose migliori: l’Amarone per il risotto e lo stracotto di manzo, il Recioto per la salsa con miele sul petto d’anitra, il Rosso Valpolicella per cuocere le pere completate con gelato di cannella.
Dall’antipasto al caffè il conto medio è sui 45 euro.
La Valpolicella domina la cantina, con tutte le migliori bottiglie di Amarone (servito anche al calice) affiancate a 800 etichette di grandi vini nazionali e internazionali.
Ada Riolfi and Carlotti Marchesini have been welcoming food enthusiasts to the heart of Valpolicella since 1996. Their ristorante-enoteca was created in a barn of a rural complex that dates to the fifteenth century. It is reachable, with a bit of patience, by wandering through some of Italy’s finest vineyards and little roads lined with stone walls. Going up to the first floor from the farmyard, the great rafters and antique furniture create an elegantly rustic atmosphere, with a grape motif that characterizes the furnishings and the table linens.
For the most part, the raw materials are local and make for dishes that are very clear in their aspect, immune from temptations of excessive imagination. The ricotta cooked with wild herbs, a cherry sauce to accompany the roasted chicken, and the Monte Veronese cheeses from Malga are a few examples. The best dishes have been realized with excellent local wines: the Amarone risotto and the braised beef, the Recioto with a honey sauce on a duck breast, the Rosso Valpolicella to cook the pears which are then complimented by a cinnamon gelato.
From the antipasto to the coffee, the average bill is about 45 euros.
La Valpolicella dominates the cantina, with all of the best bottles from Amarone (also available by the glass). There are also 800 labels of great national and international wines.
