Il Forno del Procoio
About
Il Forno del Procoio is the culinary heart of the Borgo di Fossanova, a historic village perched between the Lepini and Ausoni mountains. The restaurant occupies former storerooms of the ancient Abbey, transformed into a warm, rustic yet elegant space with stone walls and a welcoming fireplace in winter or a blooming rose window garden in summer. Donatella’s kitchen celebrates the farm‑to‑table philosophy of the Procoio family: seasonal ingredients, traditional recipes, and inventive twists such as fresh pasta with basil‑olive oil or roasted bone marrow. The menu changes with the seasons, but core offerings—baked potatoes with gorgognac, tonnarello cheese, and calzone al burro—remain beloved staples. Service is personable and attentive: staff members like Chiara and Giuseppe ensure every guest feels welcomed, while highchairs, vegan and gluten‑free options make it family‑friendly. Whether you indulge in a cosy brunch, a romantic dinner, or host a wedding reception, Il Forno del Procoio delivers authentic Italian hospitality in a setting that feels both historic and contemporary.
