The story
Locanda del Falco is set within the historic Castello di Rivalta, a stone’s throw from Niviano. The restaurant’s motto, “Sotto la superficie, un mondo,” hints at an experience that goes beyond the plate. Outdoor seating lets guests enjoy the castle’s quiet grounds, and ample parking makes arrival easy.
The kitchen channels two cuisines: Country Cooking and Italian Contemporary. This means hearty, ingredient-driven dishes rooted in the Emilia-Romagna tradition, executed with a modern sensibility. The wine list is a standout – curated with care and earning the restaurant its “Interesting Wine List” tag.
For 2026, Locanda del Falco earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to its consistent quality and warm, understated hospitality. The team is currently refreshing their online presence, with a new site on the way – a sign of a restaurant that knows when to evolve.
