Patrizia Spadoni, the scion of restaurateurs and hoteliers, was ready to rise to the challenge that had always awaited her: to put all her professionalism and passion into creating in her town a small restaurant known in Italy and all over the world. So she asked Vittorio Boldrini, her husband, who had always believed in the success of this idea, to support her by letting her use his parents’ and grandparents’ store, located in the most beautiful spot of the old town.

The result was a veritable culinary paradise, founded on a cuisine firmly rooted in tradition and based on the knowledge of local foods and historical recipes and of the names of the best suppliers for ingredients. And so in this magical setting a restaurant opened its doors that took its name from the nickname given to Patrizia’s husband by his shopkeeper grandfather and that is now a source of pride for the Panicale community.

Many guests from all over the world come to Lillotatini to savor the flavors, lightness, tradition and sophistication of the unique dishes that make up this cuisine, and then discover the breathtaking beauty of this pristine medieval village.

Patrizia and Vittorio are the cornerstones that firmly guarantee the continuity of Lillotatini’s basic philosophy. This philosophy is now shared by their children Bianca and Marco, who work alongside them with passion and growing professionalism in the food, wine and hospitality business created by their parents.

The management of the kitchen – supervised and guided as always by Patrizia – is now in the hands of chef Ardjent, who, despite his young age, has the experience, professionalism and passion of a consummate chef.
