Lunches and Dinners
at the farm
Come and eat at the farm!
The kitchen of Podere Le Fornaci opens its doors! Make a reservation to organize dinners, lunches, graduations, birthdays, and more. Whatever your occasion, we will provide you with a chef and all the farm space available to you.
We offer customized menus with local seasonal products picked directly from our garden and dairy from our goats or from the friendly network of local farmers.
Furthermore, the restaurant and any of our fields are available to play music or spend part of the day with friends or family. Musicians are more than welcome to bring instruments!
Homemade BREAD and pasta
For us, the quality of the food we offer customers is important, as well as knowing where all of our ingredients come from.
We only source local flour purchased from certified mills that produce grain with less environmental impact and a low gluten content.
Who is our farm ideal for?
- Certainly, for all those who love a day outdoors in the countryside.
- For those who love healthy, simple and tasty food.
- For those who love animals.
- For those who are tired of surface level experiences where you’re treated like a number.
- For those who want a genuine experience.
- For those who believe that, as a consumer, every day they can make important choices that have an impact on our future and that of the next generations.
- Certainly for fans of the Podere’s goat cheeses!
Why come to eat with us?
- The Podere is a welcoming, intimate and familiar place. By eating with us you will not only spend a wonderful day eating healthy food, but you will also help a small local business survive and continue to take care of this small piece of Greve land!
- If you have children, they will be able to run and play around the farm, while respecting the animals and plants that grow here.
- In addition to lunch, you can spend an afternoon or evening away from the frenzy and urban traffic enjoying the colours, sounds and scents of the countryside.
- You will have direct contact with us, Valentina and/or Nicolò who, in addition to welcoming you into our space, will be at your disposal to tell you about our work and our story.
- If you come for lunch and in the afternoon, you will be able to meet our goats and, if you want, spend more time to interact with them.
FAQ Frequently asked questions
Potentially we are open every day, however since there are only two of us, we have to balance agricultural life and hospitality well so we can only take a few dates each week. In the spring and autumn months we recommend booking well in advance especially if you want to come on the weekend.
