The cuisine at Podere Conti Restaurant is rooted in a direct relationship with the territory of Lunigiana and in respect for the natural rhythm of the seasons. It does not follow trends or predefined formulas, but develops over time through consistent choices, carefully selected ingredients, and attentive technical work.
Local tradition is the starting point, not a limitation. Recipes and flavours are approached with a contemporary sensibility, using modern techniques — such as slow cooking, marinating, light smoking, and low-temperature preparation — always in service of the ingredient, never as an end in themselves.
The result is a cuisine that is recognisable, restrained in form, and deep in flavour, favouring balance, precision, and continuity.
Our cooking is based on genuine seasonality and the actual availability of ingredients. We work with small local producers and select ingredients primarily from Lunigiana and neighbouring areas, prioritising quality, traceability, and long-term reliability.
Whenever possible, we use products from Podere Conti’s own agricultural activity and ingredients grown according to natural and organic practices. Choices are guided not by labels, but by direct knowledge of the supply chain and respect for the territory.
The menu evolves throughout the year, adapting naturally to the seasons.
At Podere Conti, sustainability is not a message to communicate but a daily practice. It is expressed through operational choices in the kitchen, work organisation, and resource management.
The approach focuses on reducing waste, fully valuing ingredients, and applying principles of circularity. Preparations are designed to make responsible use of raw materials, while organic waste is reintegrated into the agricultural cycle through composting or appropriate reuse.
Single-use materials are kept to a minimum and replaced wherever possible with reusable or compostable alternatives.
The restaurant reflects the same philosophy as the kitchen: a setting that is carefully considered yet informal, where comfort is natural and never overstated. Attention to detail and service quality coexist with a relaxed atmosphere, free from rigidity or formality.
Dining at Podere Conti means taking the necessary time, in a space that supports the experience without overshadowing it
