An authentic experience, discovering traditional flavours
Our cuisine brings the authenticity of the land to the table through simple, genuine traditional recipes. All of this is enhanced by the charm of Mensano and the refined setting of the restaurant and the village street. An ideal backdrop for celebrating special occasions, but also for a relaxed and intimate gathering. Welcoming you will be Gionni Bonistalli and the team, who will be delighted to guide you on this journey through the dishes on our menu and our excellent wine selection. Our menu changes with the seasons and can also be tailored into tray service for larger groups or dedicated menus upon request.
The Menu
Genuine ingredients that tell the story of our land
Thanks to local ingredients and zero-kilometre produce grown in the garden of our Podere Tesoro estate, we create dishes with a familiar, heartfelt flavour, working with partners of the highest quality in the area.
Savour and experience the atmosphere and beauty of the village
Along the historic main street of Mensano, the Osteria has always been an institution. A meeting place perfectly in harmony with the village, its views, and its rhythm. Carato continues this tradition, bringing life to the village and offering the unique opportunity to dine in a place that has remained untouched by time.
