The Locanda Trattoria Stella D'Oro (Restaurant Inn "The Golden Star") has ancient historical origins going back to 1860.

The Dallabona family relieved the building in 2001 and, since then, they have dedicated themselves with passionate care to re-structuring the spaces in order to have their look and comfort responding to modern standards, although with an eye to preserving tradition and culture of past times to evoke in our guests the feeling to experience a reality of old times mixed with modern comfort and warm welcome. Concerning the Chef, Marco Dallabona's cuisine is already consolidated and celebrated since a long time; the specialised magazines and the restaurants International Guides egregiously quote and celebrate its quality.

The accuracy in choosing the ingredients and the foods, such as "salumi" (salamis) of wide ageing, perfect meats and kitchen-garden products, mixed with a wise and renowned mastery in the choice of wines, makes this place unquestionably unique and really worth a visit.
