Its name is its own history
In 1999 the old Albino’s oven and our farm Procoio (it takes its name from the particular rural construction with circular section barn and central pillar, typical of these places) came together to carry out a project of a farmhouse that saw the transformation of the farm wheat into flour, bread and buns, and the restoration of the warehouses in the square.
The Pancotto, the ancient bakers of the Castelli Romani retrieved the vault and the functionality of the oven and between one dough and another, they began to envisage new targets for the Forno del Procoio, up to 2010 when the restaurant was inaugurated just as you can enjoy it today. The passionate cuisine of Alessandro and Donatella and the welcome of Chiara and Giuseppe are its strong point.
A clear target,
carried on with passion
Il Forno del Procoio is the restaurant of the Borgo. It was born 10 years ago with the specific purpose to bring to the table perfumes, tastes and emotions of a unique place and a land rich in excellent raw materials.
Located next to the Abbey, in ancient buildings once warehouses, it is characterized by a rustic and elegant atmosphere, the walls are made of natural stone, the floor is furrowed by the steps of centuries of history, even the rooms and the furnishings tell us about tradition and they do it by taking from the present creative ideas, desire for innovation and dedication to hospitality.
The ancient doors, restored, have become tables and paintings and a big fireplace heats the rooms.
Fireplace or garden that it is,
quality and attention are always at the level
The kitchen follows the same philosophy. In winter around the fireplace, in summer in the garden with the magnificent rose window that illuminates and makes your evenings unique.
Tradition in the kitchen welcomes cues of innovation and unusual combinations whenever taste and passion recommend it.
The dishes start from tradition and go further, experimenting, but without exaggerating. The menu often changes to accommodate the season and indulge creativity; baked potatoes and gorgognac fonde; tonnarello cheese, pepper and lime; cecapreti with white buffalo meat sauce in orange peel; beef medallion with good black sauce; ricotta cheese souffle; chantilly with Moscato di Terracina are just some of the dishes that you can taste at the Forno.
