Tasting menu

L'Ora Etica.

Char with pollen garum, eel with anise and mugwort, fettucce with hare and porcini. Pigeon sopa coada with rosehip, veal tongue in red wine with parisienne potatoes and cherries, then the grill, which arrives without saying what it brings. Hazelnut to close. In seven, five or three courses.

Cards on the table

The declared exceptions.

Wine slips outside L'Ora Etica, though never beyond its horizons. A great bottle comes from where the vine can become fully itself, and that place is almost never sixty minutes from here. It cannot be bound to a single place.

The same goes for the pasta, which comes from the Marche and lies beyond the boundary. Two exceptions, openly declared: not a hidden waiver, but written right here.

The principles still hold. Fish, vegetables, herbs, eggs: all fresh produce stays within the hundred-kilometre radius.

Season after season

The menu is a snapshot of the moment.

What you read on the menu is a single moment. Spring slipping into summer, the first chill that changes the air, the vegetable you have waited months for finally arriving: the menu captures the turn and brings it to the table.

It changes every time because nature changes first. No decisions are made at a desk: nature sets the pace, and we follow.

Frequently asked questions

What does Horto's one-hour rule mean?
That nothing fresh travels more than sixty minutes to reach the kitchen. A hundred-kilometre radius, twenty-five growers: travel time becomes the measure of freshness.
What happens if a product does not respect the rule?
If it is fresh and comes from too far away, it doesn't make the menu. Only wine, coffee and a few other pantry staples sit outside the rule, because they depend on craft, not freshness. For everything fresh, the season decides, one day at a time.
