La Palta
About
Nestled in the tranquil hillside village of Bilegno, La Palta is a Michelin‑starred gem that marries rustic Italian charm with contemporary culinary artistry. Under the stewardship of celebrated chef Isa Mazzocchi – a pioneer of the new Italian cuisine and holder of the 2021 Michelin Chef Donna award – the restaurant presents an ever‑evolving tasting menu that celebrates local produce and the flavors of the Emilia‑Romagna countryside. Diners are treated to signature dishes such as the delicate ravioli neri, the delicate La Pasta tasting course priced at €150 per person, and a curated selection of bold Malvasia wines, including the house‑made “Una” which showcases the unique terroir of the nearby Torre Fornello vineyard. The setting, a restored villa with rustic wood interiors and a sun‑lit veranda, exudes an intimate warmth that complements the culinary sophistication, making La Palta a destination for discerning food lovers seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Opening hours emphasize a focus on quality over quantity: the kitchen operates from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and again from 7:00 PM to 11:59 PM, with a mandatory reservation policy in place. Guests are invited to make a phone reservation between 9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 6:00 PM–7:30 PM, Monday to Sunday, ensuring a personalized service for each table.
