Taste the Italian cooking tradition at Restaurant “Al Cardellino”: the new 2023 Lenotti Menu.
Enjoy a fantastic 4-course dinner at the top restaurant “Al Cardellino”, far away from the busy tourist crowds, accompanied by four excellent wines selected by Claudio Lenotti together with Nicola Modena – the maitre of “Al Cardellino” – for this exclusive menu.
Cosa rende così speciale il menu del ristornante “Al Cardellino” ?
It will be unforgettable, not only because the courses have been prepared with care, passion and expertise, but also because of the amazing ingredients, like the rich of taste “Scottona tartare”, the pastas “foglie di ulivo” and the “rustichelle” (strictly homemade and bronze-drawn pasta, made with the same machine that Dino, Nicola’s uncle, was using from 1963) and the succulent beef cheek cooked with Amarone wine and the delicious final dessert “croccantino alle mandorle”.
But we don’t want to give too much away. Just one thing:
This menu has been created just for friends of Lenotti wines and is only offered here, exclusively and at a friendship price just for you.

3.) GUANCIA DI MANZO BRASATA ALL’AMARONE CON PATATE CABRETTE: let’s move on to a unique and extraordinary meet course, very tasty and enriched by braising meet with our Amarone wine, which is naturally paired with the homonymous wine "Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Lenotti".
4.) CROCCANTINO ALLE MANDORLE CON CREMA ALLA GIANDUIA E FRUTTI ROSSI: an end with a touch of sweetness; we present you the house’s own and inimitable creation, “Croccantino alle mandorle”, accompanied by a fruity red dessert wine, our "Lenotti Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG Classico".
A special tip from Claudio: first let a spoonful of Croccantino melt on your tongue, then take a sip of Recioto. Perfect! This is how you enjoy a dessert in Italy.
5.) CAFFÈ and LIMONCELLO or GRAPPA DI AMARONE from Cantine Lenotti
