La Rocchetta in Tremosine, Brescia, Italy | Pizza

We at La Rocchetta.in  Italy are truly proud of the pasta made in our kitchen, a constant companion throughout our history and a constant delight for diners past and present. Of Greek origin and originally called laganon, pasta’s nutritional value has made it the staple food of the Mediterranean diet. Thanks to its low fat content, it has become a healthy, daily part of Italian cuisine. Warming memories of Tremosine’s finest traditions.

Pizza is a very ancient preparation at La Rocchetta. It was considered a “poor”, simple dish made from ingredients easily available to country folk: flour, oil, salt and yeast. It was sometimes enriched with lard, cheese, basil leaves and pepper, but only for special occasions. The modern Pizza evolved after the Americas were discovered and the tomato was introduced to Italy. The tomato formed a heavenly partnership with mozzarella to create a dish to please even the most discerning palate, such as Queen Margherita, the wife of Umberto I of  Italy, who gave her name to the world’s most popular Pizza.

A traditional barbecue, vegetables and meat cooked over red-hot embers always have a very special flavor and create a happy ambiance at La Rocchetta. In Tremosine, food cooked over an open fire has always been a traditional accompaniment to music and dancing at local fêtes. That’s why you just can’t help smiling when a platter of aromatic barbecued food appears almost magically at your table. Tremosine is set in the heart of the Upper Garda Park, which was established by Regional Statute No. 58 dated 15 September 1989. Its vicinity to the lake and the protection of the surrounding peaks mean the area of Tremosine enjoys a pleasant variety of climates and environments.
