Farmhouse and restauant Castelluccio di Norcia

Farmhouse Castelluccio di Norcia

Antica Cascina Brandimarte was the place where my parents sheltered animals during the coldest seasons.
The present restaurant was occupied by the old hayloft. It was used to preserve the hay, that in the winter was the only source of nourishment for the cows.
Animals were handled carefully because they were considered one of the main sources of income. An other important element was the agriculture, whose primary products were lentils, spelt, roveja (pea of wild provenance) and rye.
Today Antica Cascina Brandimarte is a farm holiday, where you can relax and taste local dishes, which have made known our territory.

Restaurant “Il Fienile”

Situated on the second floor of Antica Cascina Brandimarte, the restaurant “Il Fienile” represents a perfect union between the past and the present, which is expressed in refinement of rooms and in local dishes of our culinary tradition.
A wooden-beam ceiling, tables made of solid wood, a simple and elegant napery, chairs upholstered with red and green hide which give vividness to the room, a soft lighting and a fireplace which makes a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

Our cuisine offers dishes which have made known our territory, using products of our farm or wholesome food bought from farmers or breeders.
Mrs Maria Rita you will cook particular dishes according to the lessons of her mother Adua. Everything is cooked through old methods: pasta, legumes soup, meat and local desserts.
