Antica Locanda del Falco

The first news of the Inn date back to the second half of 1400. In on old text is indicated the position of the hebrew exchange-currency office, exactly situated beside the Inn in a roon that today is used as dining-room. From this, we assume that the tavern has already existed for long time...

From then, the olace has always offered refreshment and also a room where people could pass the night. Until the sixties the Inn offered rooms to groups of hunters who came numerouses because attracted by the area rich of game.

Since about 1975 the "Antica Locanda del Falco" has been managing by Piazza's family, who, after having operated in fresh-meat field (they had two beef butcher's shops in the near city of Piacenza), have decided to undertake the activity of restaurant-owners, starting the culture of good food and wine that they have been able to accumulate in many years of experiences.
