Trattoria Corrado, Family-run Italian restaurant in Sarzana, Italy.
Trattoria Corrado is a family-run restaurant in Marinella di Sarzana that operates its own farm to supply the kitchen with its main ingredients. Meat, vegetables, and fruit come directly from the property and go into the dishes served at the table.
The Grazioli family opened the restaurant in 1966, bringing farming knowledge from the Cremona area to the Ligurian coast. Growing food and cooking it were treated as a single craft from the very beginning.
The kitchen rolls and cuts fresh pasta by hand every day, using eggs from the farm's own hens and flour chosen for its quality. Sitting down to eat here gives a sense of how Italian home cooking worked for generations.
The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, making it a good stop for anyone spending time along this stretch of coast. It is popular and has a limited number of tables, so booking ahead is a good idea.
Alongside the kitchen, the trattoria produces its own range of jams and pickled vegetables using fruit and plants from the farm. These preparations are also sold directly to visitors, which is something rarely found in an ordinary restaurant.
