About us
The Chef
Since the opening of the Ristorante Limonaia in 2021, Chef Mario Comitale has been its gastronomic guide. Originally from Naples, Mario Comitale, a tireless researcher of quality raw materials sourced mainly from small local producers, has been instrumental in creating the fresh, modern Emilian cuisine that Ristorante Limonaia has become known for.
The Estate
Situated in the heart of Emilia, where the Food and Motor Valley meet, the Wine & Balsamic Relais Roncolo 1888 is a century-old borgo surrounded by 130 hectares of organic land. For many years the private residence of noble families and the result of an attentive restoration carefully preserving the heritage of the past, today Roncolo 1888 is an hideaway in the Emilian countryside and the essence of elegant hospitality in Italy’s Food Valley.
