Osteria
Selva

Ingredient-led and deeply rooted in the Lombardian landscape, this kitchen prioritizes the hyper-local bounty of the surrounding forests and fields. The menu is anchored by a signature polenta, stone-ground and slow-stirred to achieve a creamy, substantial texture that serves as a canvas for seasonal accompaniments. Hand-pinched ravioli, filled with delicate ricotta and wild herbs, demonstrate a mastery of pasta-making, finished with a simple brown butter and sage emulsion. Technique shines in the wood-fired preparations of local game and lake fish, where a gentle char enhances the natural mineral depth of the proteins. Aromas of toasted corn and mountain herbs define the dining experience, while the flavor profile remains focused on the purity of the raw materials. A tasting journey here might include a robust ragù of wild boar, braised for hours until the meat achieves a melt-in-the-mouth tenderness, balanced by the sharp acidity of a local red wine reduction.
