Ristorante Acquamatta - Semiana (PV)

The Acquamatta restaurant is located among the rice fields of Lomellina, inside a magnificently restored 1827 mill, surrounded by the protected landscape of the ZPS (Special Protection Area of ​​the Lomellina Rice Fields).
Nestled among the most important gargoyles in Lombardy, a stone's throw from Lomello's Romanesque treasures and Lomellina's most famous castles, Acquamatta enjoys an extraordinary location.
From the very entrance, the restaurant stands out for its striking décor.
All the architectural solutions were designed and created by Paolo, partner of owner and Chef Andréia Saito, a farmer by profession but also a talented interior designer.
Note the stone floors, the hand-cut iron wine racks, the wall sconces made from the discs of the harrow, an agricultural tool.
The windows of the dining rooms overlook the leap of the spring waters of the Roggia Raina, which provide the restaurant with the heat and electricity needed to heat and cool the rooms.
You can access it directly by lift from the Reception floor, first encountering the room with the bar counter, and, in front of this, the air-conditioned cellar, which in turn can host small convivial meetings.
The rustic, informal-chic ambience is charming and evocative, and the cuisine operated by Andréia Saito delivers on its promises, reserving the guest an experience of taste and hospitality.
The restaurant is certainly worth a special outing, planning a restful digression from the major traffic routes, amidst rice fields of great beauty.
