Cereseto, just 14km from Compiano and 9km from Bardi, is home to the Trattoria Solari, immersed in unspoilt countryside. At the Trattoria mushrooms and porcini mushrooms are protagonists, especially porcini preserved in oil for starters: in salads with salt, pepper, lemon juice and parmesan flakes, accompanied by the famous "Ceresetana" and genuine flavours or real salamis. There are also lots of other superb dishes such as cream of porcini, tortelli, and home-made tagliatelle.
Don‘t miss the main courses of game, such as wild boar stewed or braised, venison accompanied by polenta, carefully stirred over an open fire. But if you wish to continue with mushrooms choose escalopes, pork with mushroom cream, carpaccio or try them fried or cooked garlic and parsley. Finish with a delicious dessert: amaretto ice cream cake, chocolate salami and home-made fruit tarts. All accompanied by a superb selection of wines. The Trattoria Solari is ideal for special occasions such as wedding receptions, organised with the help of Paola and her mother Maria who creates truly interesting menus and special dishes.
You can choose your own menu and request live music for events that will be a sure success, but at a reasonable price. The prices of these menus range from 25 to 30 euros per head, including wine. For groups we recommend the 30 euro menu. If you want music the price all included is 35 euros. Paolo and Maria also offer 12 comfortable bedrooms in a large building near the trattoria, ideal for guests wishing to visit the nearby castles of Bardi and Compiano as well as other interesting sites. The Trattoria Solari offers self sufficient senior citizens board and lodging all year round. What better way to enjoy your retirement, with good food, clean air, peace and all comforts.
Finally, in the same building as the bedrooms you‘ll find the Theatre of Psychodrama "Casa Moreno" offering a residential workshop for psychodrama and tribal dance therapy led by Leandra Perrotta. The theatre was created by Paola Solari, psychologist and director of psychodrama, following the model of the Theatre for the Study of Psychodrama in Milan, open to the public and seen as an opportunity to discuss situations concerning personal relations, daily life and professional situations. The theatre is the ideal place for short workshops and courses (yoga, recitation, painting, dancing...)
