Restaurant - Sarah's Italian hospitality Palazzo Terranova style always means excellent food, great wine from the never ending and fascinating wine list and invigorating conversation. The award winning restaurant mixes classic Italian cooking with lively contempoary food. Most of the fresh vegetables, olive oil and honey are home grown on the pure hillsides of the estate.
The kitchen produces lively food that changes with the seasons. The wines and oils are local, some made by the Townsends themselves. This is truffle country and when in season, porcini muhrooms are mainstays in the kitchen. Game is also a local speciality. |
