From fresh fish from the Adriatic Sea to vegetables grown in nearby fields, every ingredient is chosen to enhance the natural flavours of our dishes.
Traditional Recipes: a plunge into history
Our recipes tell the story of our region and its inhabitants, and each dish is prepared with the utmost attention to detail. One of the most representative dishes of our culinary offer is ‘Spaghetto alla Busara’, a recipe that dates back to Venetian fishermen.
