The Menu

Our restaurant, in addition to being renowned for its menu and wine list, adheres to the Slow Food Alliance, a pact between chefs and small producers to promote good, clean and fair local foods and save biodiversity.

The presidia are Slow Food projects which protect small-scale quality products made according to traditional practices.

L’Arca del Gusto is a catalog of products that belong cultures and traditions from around the world and that are at risk of disappearing.

We have been featured on the most important guides in the sector for years now and since 2013 the hotel-restaurant San Giors has obtained an important recognition by becoming part of the association Locali Storici d’Italia (Historical Locals of Italy) that protects the oldest and most prestigious places in our country.

Our chef is Giulio Carlo Ferrero.
