Being immersed in ancient flavors that delighted powerful men of the past and being part of a special journey into the medieval culinary culture is one of the best history experiences signed by Medieval Italy. 

Thanks to a careful riview of the dishes taken from ancient recipes, “Il Poggio” restaurant in Volterra can offer a perfect medieval-style dinner that guarantees, at the same time, an unmissable contemporary touch. 

According to the ancient cookbooks, noblemen’s meal started with the “first service of dispensa”, a dishes composed by fresh fruits and red wine, used to clean the palate and to get ready for more complex dishes. After the dispensa, broths were served as “first service of the kitchen”, followed by roast meats accompanied by a wide variety of sauces.

The medieval dinner proposed by Medieval Italy becomes a unique experience thanks to the enrichment of the menu with the exceptional Red Wine Cormary Pork served with yellow sauce and green sauce. Also, being served by an innkeeper with the typical medieval hairstyle (which follows the custom of covering the hair), adds a distinctive charm to the experience.
