Atmosphere
The cuisine of “Don Alfonso 1890” was created out of love and deference to the traditions of the cuisine of the region. Every dish served in the restaurant is carefully researched and contains the purest ingredients, and it is also for this reason that Livia and Alfonso grow their own herbs, fruits and vegetables (including the olives for their virgin olive oil) on their farm “Le Peracciole”. This is a tradition which Livia and Alfonso have committed to since the inception of Don Alfonso 1890. As originators of the farm-to-table movement, the dynamic duo has enthusiastically immersed themselves into the artistry of farming in an effort to share their passions for organic food with their community. This style of cuisine is both conventional as it is symbolic, as the farm-to-table approach to dining is deep rooted in their Italian heritage.
