Vespasia project has been created and it is run by Vincenzo and Federico Bianconi, last generation of an enthusiastic restaurateur family with a tradition which dates back, without break, since 1850. Vespasia restaurant is housed in the Relais & Châteaux Palazzo Seneca, in a XVI century noble palace in the artistic heart of Norcia, a few steps away from Saint Benedict main square, between Vignola
Castel and Saint Francis monastery; this one has been turned into an elegant auditorium in the last years. Vespasia restaurant gives you harmony and serenity; here, the innovation meets the tradition and it behaves like a child with his father, or better with respect. Everthing at Vespasia tells about this land, the style, the colours and the flavours are simple, but at the same time they are intense; the details always make the difference, for this reason they have been taking care with great love and attention. At Vespasia the Customer can also chose his or her seat between comfortable filled and wooden chairs or big leather armchairs, both realized by Umbrian Master artisans. The table can be situated in the “black” chimney room, a private room, among wines, candles and wooden furniture, or between the lemon trees and the old stable which overlook the interior garden. When the season is good you can eat outside where, apart from the peacefulness you will appreciate the view of the towers, the bell towers and the Sibillini Mountains. The aromatic herbs perfume coming from the vegetable garden depicts the high quality and perfect location. During the night Vespasia restaurant shows its unique charme; the candles are lit on, the lights are softened, the restaurant team in its uniform controls that everything is perfect, so we are on stage. The silverware, the crystal glasses and the snow-white table linen are ready to fade into the background; very soon, the dishes prepared by the Chef Emanuele Mazzella and his team, the true protagonist actors at Vespasia restaurant, will arrive. In the recipes prepared at Vespasia you find the refinement, the research, the tradition, the creativity and the professional ethics. Colours, perfumes and flavours want to go with who tastes them in a voyage to discover this land, rich of fantastic products, great history, sobriety and passion for good and healthy things. Every Saturday night Vespasia customers can enjoy live music like jazz, swing or blues played by high quality musicians; everything to make your experience and your night unforgettable.
