restaurant Farm-house San Ottaviano

San Ottaviano’s restaurant offers its guests flavors of the estate harvested directly from its gardens, pastures, beehives, fields and olive orchards. The owners, Francesco and Hilary, invite you to feel at home in the old oil-mill-turned-restaurant or out on one of its two panoramic terraces. Their unique dishes have italo-american roots, making them unique to the area. Be assured, however, that they are made exclusively with fresh, local ingredients. Many of the recipes feature the estate’s secret ingredient: La Birra de’Neri. This craft beer is produced just a few steps from the restaurant using barley that is cultivated in the fields of the Cornia Valley below.
