Menu Online - A Locanda tù Marchese

Welcome to our MASSERIA URBANA, where every dish tells a story of passion and authenticity, nothing is wasted and everything that grows on our land is used, creating a small circular economy.

We are proud to present you a menu made exclusively with local and genuine products, all coming from our family’s farm. To ensure a unique experience, some ingredients that are not in season are expertly culled and preserved using traditional techniques. Our menu changes frequently, following the rhythm of the seasons and the depletion of stocks.

We invite you to discover the flavours of our land and be won over by the authenticity of our cuisine!

°WE ARE AN ECONOMIC BUSINESS: We are an economic business that pays its taxes and its employees. Therefore, out of respect for our business and those who work in it, it is good ‘crianza’ (‘manner’) to consume and not to come and stay whole evenings taking advantage of other people’s hospitality. We do not add places at the table after dinner.

°COMMUNICATING ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES -> CELIAC DISEASE: In order to be able to serve guests with celiac disease, it is not only necessary, by law, to have gluten-free products, it is also necessary to have gluten-free environments. Our facility, unfortunately in terms of space, does not allow us to have a separate kitchen that can be dedicated to the preparation and processing of gluten-free products.

°FROZEN FOOD IS A GUARANTEE OF QUALITY AND SEASONALITY: In our ‘frozen food’ menu we guarantee seasonality, harvesting seasonal vegetables to preserve them over time. Freezing and blast chilling, practised in the restaurant, ensure food safety and long preservation, while keeping the quality of the ingredients intact. Thus we can offer fresh and healthy products all year round.
