Dinner at
Corte di Casale
Vicenza
A Wednesday of August I went for dinner at Corte di Casale.
The Corte di Casale isn’t a restaurant, open every day for lunch or dinner; it’s an old villa usually booked for events, company dinners, weddings. Sometimes Arianna, the manager, organizes a “tasting” dinner, where engaged couples or anyone interested can taste their dishes.
One of the best cuisines of the area, in my modest opinion.
The location
An old residence of the 1800s, with some rustic antiques, a big green area and a lot of nature around.
The details
Smoked mozzarella and taralli.
Starters
Prosciutto and melon.
Sopressa and figs. Love figs on the table!!
First courses
Risotto with Barolo wine, Belfiore apples, crunchy speck.
I’ve never had a better risotto in my life.
“Bundle” with artichokes and king prawns, on a bed of valerian.
Second courses
Sliced calf with berries and seasonal vegetables.
At this point I was quite full, but it was so good that I asked for a second portion (just one slice).
Great quality wine as always.
Dessert
Mojito sorbet and sponge cake with creams.
