Roast octopus (2007)

The char-grilling–over slate, under ash–the wood fire oven and the spit roast are the stronger points of this elegant, technologically advanced inn nestled in the green hills of Nembro. As an added feature, Sergio Mei, chef of the Four Seasons in Milan, serves as a consultant to the restaurant. With seating either in the dining room or at the bar, one can taste simple but finely done dishes such as this roasted octopus. The kitchen team radiates motivation and enthusiasm, the service is attentive, the prices reasonable… and that’s no small thing these days!
