Storia e curiosità

Our restaurant derives its name from the oldest fair in Norcia where with the words: “Sienti ‘n può” and the sentence, “Quanto vuoi per venire a lavorare da me? ("How much will you charge to come and work for me?”) were the customary start of the negotiations between the master of charcuterie (in Norcia or in Tuscany), and a butcher who would be hired to work seasonally in the winter.

I nostri piatti per il Menù della Sibilla

Organic farro soup (Available all year)
The production of organic farro is a family business, and it is cultivated as our grandparents did, in fields that are located over 1000 meters altitude. The dish is seasoned with sautéed vegetables from our garden, served with our own homemade pecorino cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It is a real specialty that befits every season.

These products help biodiversity

Farro is a grain that adapts well to poor, rocky soil in uplands and is resistant to harsh winters, as well as conditions of dryness or humidity. Hence, it is generally grown in marginal areas and in small plots like those within the Monti Sibillini. Organic farming represents an added value to both the product and the environment. Each step of the process in organic production is designed to maintain and increase the diversity of plants and animals, whose presence helps to maintain a balanced agro-ecosystem. These cultivation methods create good soil fertility obtained with the help of the presence of microorganisms instead of chemical fertilizers. Simultaneously this manner of cultivation guarantees protection of the hedges and rows of trees near the fields. This practice is a factor of great ecological importance because these buffer zones provide shelter and food for a wide range of living organisms, as well as being a typical element of the rural landscape.
