Our
history

When I was little, I always wanted to be "El Dottor" (a doctor), but as I grew
up I realised it was better to feed people rather than cure then,
so, to the disappointment of Mum and Dad, I undertook the catering
road, which once upon a time was very hard to follow. To try to
convince me of this fact, my mother was never willing to teach me
the tricks of the trade (which she had to learn, like it or not)
and she often put a spoke in my wheels

So I decided to go and see how the others worked: chefs like Paracucchi, Andreas,
Vergè, I wanted to meet them personally, go shopping with them to
understand, to try … then it happens that when you have learned
to ride a bike, all of a sudden you are on your own and travelling
down your own road. That is when your origins and roots come out:
that is how Venetian cooking has continued to survive here in the
"Locanda da Condo", which has kept the name given it by my father
Giocondo, and nicknamed "Condo", a host who was always friendly
and more generous with his guests than even with his family

In our kitchen during the winter months, you can always find salami
with onions, "musetto" with creamed potatoes, pasta and bean soup,
spit roasts, mixed boiled meat, "fregolotta" and other desserts
made from chestnuts and "mascarpone". In the hot months, rice and
peas, ricotta dumplings or polenta dumplings with cinnamon, cured
sausages and local cheese, pickled meat, stuffed guinea fowl, fruit
mousse and fresh peach desserts. To book your table and order your
wine, my wife Beatrice called "Bea" is there to help you, our young
lovely Elisa will prepare your bill and for the games, the smaller
and latest arrival Tea is there to entertain you.

Before you leave,
visit our small wine cellar that still has the original wooden casks,
where you can enjoy a last glass of wine before you go.
Goodbye for now, we look forward to seeing you in Col San Martino |
