Tornavento

Choose between a few courses that include all sorts of meat for their main dishes, from sauteed pigs trotters and beef cheeks to charcoal-grilled fish. Not to forget the pasta dishes that are abundant with summer truffle tarajin, as well as dishes like the gorgonzola gnocchi and organic vegetable crudites with Bagna Cauda. Each dish is prepared with the utmost delicacy and pride, paying attention to the details. Tornavento does not hold back when replicating the cuisine of this small northern Italian town for each and every one of their guests.
