Watching the silhouette of Rivalta Castle while crossing the bridge on the Trebbia, framed within the brush strokes of a summer sunset or mantled by the milky mists of a flatland giving way to the hills, offers a unique view: it is sheer food for the eyes, and evokes the magic atmosphere of a fairy-tale.
Crossing the Arch of access to the village, it is possible to feel the comfortable embrace of the walls and the measured balance of the architectonical development of a millenary jewel maintained and restored with extreme grace and gusto.
The use of stone, wood, the ivy-covered walls, the many doorways to the many small houses , the cobbled surface of by-streets, the austerity of the gate facing the castle, the view to the park, the impressing and reassuring tower with the waving house-flag, provide the place with a magic atmosphere, in which the visitor loses the concept of time and space.
In this enchanted surrounding waves the metal-sign of "Antica Osteria del Falco", representing a huge and curve-shaped Soup-tureen calling to the mind images of a reinvigorating hot soup, of a sumptuously laid table, of the mother.
Capacity: 100 seats inside, divided in three dining-rooms. During summer it is possible to eat outdoors: in the inner court-yard or in the balcony facing the village square
