focused, but the creative menu might include, say, spaghetti with spring chicory and
hazelnuts, followed by roasted rabbit with fennel, and coffee-aniseed ice cream. Kids and
vegetarians are well catered for.

Worth the trek to the countryside, Le Case's Michelin-starred restaurant
has enough gourmet panache to keep foodies coming from afar. Beams and exposed stone
create a rustically elegant scene. Meat reared on the organic farm, foraged herbs and
flowers and garden veg all go into Michele Biagiola's menus created with love, precision
and a razor-sharp eye for detail.
Choose a wine from the 1700-bottle list to pair with such show-stoppers as apple cake
with sticky pork ribs and ginger gelato or tortelli stuffed with guinea fowl.
