The story

Radici at Borgo La Chiaracia, Castel Giorgio – Country Cooking with Michelin Recognition

Radici – Country Cooking on the Umbrian Plateau

At Borgo La Chiaracia, a resort born from the restoration of an ancient farmhouse on the Alfina Plateau, the restaurant Radici takes its name from its purpose: to root itself in the land. The kitchen is driven by the selection and celebration of ingredients from a rich territory where Umbria, Lazio, and Tuscana meet. The result is a refined take on country cooking that has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction.

The estate’s own farm is the heart of the project. Vineyards of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir trace the horizon, while fields of barley, spelt, and sunflowers restore the rhythm of traditional Umbrian agriculture. Hazelnuts, walnuts, and chestnuts grow alongside rows of red berries. This is not simply a farm-to-table concept; the relationship between field and table is intimate. Dishes are built around what the land provides, allowing the raw ingredients to speak without artifice.

The setting reflects the same philosophy. The resort’s architecture, a tribute to the rolling landscape, connects three historic farmhouses. Interiors are furnished by local artisans, with leather menus crafted by the renowned Bottega Conticelli. Every detail is an homage to regional craftsmanship.

Radici reinterprets centuries-old traditions in a modern key. The dining room is open Thursday through Sunday, offering a tasting menu and wine pairings that explore the flavours of this volcanic, ancient crossroads. For those seeking a deeper connection to the source, cooking classes in fresh pasta and wine tastings are available, turning a meal into a true encounter with the territory.
