Eating beneath the castle
The Rifugio della Rocca restaurant is in the village of Rocca Calascio, the almost empty village below the fortress. They place it at 1,550 m. It has two rooms on two floors, each with a fireplace, beamed ceilings and wooden tables, and homemade mountain cooking: handmade pasta with sauces, ravioli, mushrooms in season and house desserts. Guests of the albergo diffuso eat here, as do those who come up to see the castle.
Booking and getting there
Book by phone on +39 351 355 6636; the rooms have a different number. You get there by car from Calascio to the car park below the village. In summer, between 12:00 and 18:00, the road jams and parking is hard: for lunch, arrive early; for dinner, the village is quiet.
What to order: a first course of homemade pasta and, if in season, mushrooms.
