坎德拉酒店

Named after the village’s former postman, an important and charismatic character in this small community, this former workers’ club is housed in a rustic restaurant with a beautiful porch where you sit in summer beneath cooling fans. The cuisine steps away from local tradition to offer creative yet never overly fanciful dishes which are always generous and beautifully presented.

At certain times of day, the tempting aroma of freshly baked bread greets you as soon as you step into this restaurant, leaving you in no doubt as to the nature of the restaurant’s newest venture. Other dishes are also baked in the oven here, such as wild boar served with a red wine babà and sage mayonnaise.

Situated off the usual tourist trail, Al Cambio serves authentic Bolognese cuisine (as well as other dishes) with a focus on traditional, seasonal meat and fish dishes.
