Choosing the menu is one of the most important steps in planning a wedding, civil union or special celebration. At La Locanda del Poeta, a restaurant and agritourism farm, every proposal begins with a conversation with those celebrating: our aim is to create an experience that reflects the guests’ tastes, the season and the atmosphere they wish to create for their day.
Our guidance begins in the early planning stages, as we work together to establish the timing and style of the ceremony. The table layout, decorations, music, seating chart to guide guests to their places and an area for displaying favours all come together to create a harmonious setting. Every choice is carefully considered, because the details help give a celebration its personal touch.
At the heart of the experience is the food. La Locanda del Poeta helps couples and those planning a special occasion put together a tasting menu: from starters and pasta or risotto courses to main courses with their accompaniments, through to dessert. The sequence of courses is designed to set the pace of the reception, offering a variety of flavours and textures and giving guests the pleasure of discovering each dish.
The season guides our choice of ingredients and inspires different combinations throughout the year. Carefully selected ingredients, with particular attention to locally sourced produce, bring out the flavours of the area. The buffet can also become part of the day’s story, especially when served outdoors on the lakeside lawn: a place where guests can mingle and enjoy our food surrounded by the landscape.
Wine plays an equally important role. La Locanda del Poeta’s wine cellar offers a wide selection of labels, with pairings carefully chosen to complement each course. Our partnerships with local producers also allow us to feature wines that express the character of the area and bring balance to the dining experience.
A wedding or special celebration is remembered for the people, the emotions and the moments shared. A thoughtfully crafted menu helps preserve those memories: it brings the tastes of those celebrating to the table and turns them into an experience to enjoy together.
