With a special menu from 1st - 6th October
For Italians, the mushroom season is one of the most eagerly awaited times of the culinary calendar. The mushroom, a peculiar product of the funghi parasite, is a great delicacy for which there are an amazing number of tasty recipes.
Tiziano, our passionate mushroom picker, a native of Bergamo, goes out every morning to "secret" woods to collect what he calls "the flowers of autumn". For him, gathering mushrooms requires skill and a respect for the environment, in order to preserve these wonderful gifts of nature.
Giuseppe and Head Chef, Baldo have put together some classic regional combinations, selecting the most flavoursome varieties in season now.
