The owners from Italy visited this part of France a few years ago while on vacation; loved the scenery of the Corbières and not long after moved to the area.
The property was previously a wine cooperative for the local winemakers.
From the day we arrived at the end of April, we have driven by this farm field many times and I was intrigued by these massive buffalos.
Early on (1st/2nd week of May) there was a new addition to the family (herd).
We had heard good things about this restaurant and it was on my living list (not bucket list)!
We arrived for our appointed reservation at 19:30 (7:30 pm) and were welcomed by the owner/proprietor Fabio Antonini who seated us and explained that this evening was a special «Tapas Night Italian Style » ... small plates for sharing plus they could do a pasta if we wanted.
We selected four items from the tapas menu plus an order of pasta with their homemade Bolognese sauce
Everything is made fresh, local and organic (Bio) ... and of course the mozzarella is made from the Buffalo milk.
The buffalo roam freely in a field 24/7 and are milked in the open air.
Pizza Frita avec sauce tomates ... so delicious!
Pizza dough (breadstick form) deep fried and served with a tomato sauce for dipping.
Roll of mozzarella filled with tomatoes, basil, olive oil and pesto ... another favourite!
Tartines de mozzarella avec anchois ... Like a bruschetta with mozzarella & anchovies.

Thank you Fabio and family for being part of our memorable time in France.
Wishing you continued success!
