The story
The restaurant “Only for two” was born in the last century on the vestiges of an ancient Roman villa, with a majestic and suggestive appearance. As reported by Carlo Bartolomeo Piazza, the structure was nothing more than the country house that Mecenate donated to the Latin poet Orazio, information that makes the place even more intriguing and fascinating.
Although centuries have passed since its construction, inside the villa it is still possible to admire the mosaic floors, the cryptoporticus and la Fonte Bandusia, located near the ancient ruins, to which Horace dedicated one of his most famous poems.
Later, due to the end of the Roman Empire, the invasion of the Lombards (and not only) and the dark period of the Middle Ages, the monument fell into disrepair to the point of being completely forgotten. We will have to wait until 1983 to see him rise, in all his majesty.
Given its winding history, the villa could not but turn into a place entirely dedicated to the celebration of the love dinner par excellence: a single table, two armchairs, candlesticks, silverware, a fireplace and a fairy-tale garden are the characteristic and essential elements for , a truly unique experience, which is the background of an unspoiled landscape full of mysteries.
