This modern restaurant (open from 7am to 11pm), once the family butcher’s, is also a delicatessen and wine boutique. It serves top-quality produce such as Pata Negra and other hams, anchovies from the Cantabrian sea, an excellent selection of cheeses and more elaborate dishes.

Forme Restaurant is a modern, ever-evolving venue located outside the city center within the Atena educational complex, which also houses the Sottoforme bistrot.

Her dishes evoke the comforts of home: the spice-scented ventricina, Navelli saffron butter that gently caresses the palate, and artisanal Abruzzese spaghettone celebrating authentic simplicity.

This elegant 16C hunting lodge offers a modern menu of fish dishes and regional specialities. Particular attention is paid to the excellent Calvisano caviar, with a dedicated menu. There’s an attractive outdoor dining area facing the gardens with views of the city of Brescia.
