Molino 7Cento restaurant

A restaurant on an organic farm

The Molino 7Cento restaurant is in the old 18th-century water mill that the farm restored as a relais in the countryside of Cori, at the foot of the Lepini mountains and on the edge of the Pontine plain. It is a certified organic farm that grows vines, olives and native plants, some almost forgotten. Its extra virgin olive oil appeared in the Flos Olei guides from 2018 to 2020, with mentions in the Sol d'Oro and in Slow Food and Gambero Rosso guides, according to the farm itself.

Ninfa is close, on the same plain: it is an option for dinner after a day in the garden without going back to Rome, or for lunch if you are sleeping at the mill.

What the cooking is like

In an elegant glass-walled dining room, the chef works with the season and with what is available at the moment: mostly produce from the estate and from good local producers. The house speaks of joining the tradition of the area with contemporary cooking techniques. The wine list mixes local, Italian and foreign labels, as well as its own, and the staff advise on the wine for each dish. The website does not publish the menu or prices: the price level on this page is an estimate based on the type of place.

The cellar, for something lighter

Inside the winery there is a tasting and sales point where you can have aperitifs and light meals with its wine, its oil and local products. It is the alternative if you do not want a formal meal or are short of time. From May to September, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 17:00, they run a wine tour of the vineyards and winery with a tasting of three wines, for €45 per person; lunches and dinners for tour groups are agreed as a fixed menu.
