A Modern Take on Italian Heritage
Chef Renato Rizzardi’s cuisine starts from memory: the Italian dishes and flavours people recognise, treated with discipline and curiosity. Menus are built around seasons, market produce and a strong technical base, so dishes stay direct, refined and full of taste. Expect a conversation between regions, with ingredients from the sea alongside products from the surrounding meadows, and occasional references to other Italian territories. The result feels contemporary and distinctly Italian, with a style that favours clarity over effects and substance over show.
Private dining and group events
La Locanda di Piero hosts private events for business lunches, family occasions and small receptions, with options up to 70 guests. Each event starts with a short conversation about what you’re celebrating and how you want the day to feel, then the team builds a menu and format around that. There are dedicated group menus for parties of eight or more, designed as a complete, well-structured itinerary.
Montecchio Precalcino and the Vicenza area
Montecchio Precalcino sits just outside Vicenza, in the Veneto countryside where villages, vineyards and small producers shape daily life. It’s an easy drive from the city, yet far enough out to feel like a local escape for lunch or dinner. The restaurant’s setting matches the area: a country villa atmosphere, green views, and a sense of privacy that suits both celebrations and quiet tables. Many guests combine a meal here with time in Vicenza.
A Complete Experience
This is a restaurant built by a long-standing team. Some people in the house have been here for decades, and that continuity shows in the way the dining room runs. Sommelier and host Sergio Olivetti guides pairings from a broad cellar and keeps the service relaxed, observant and precise. The setting adds to it: a villa-style dining room with a winter fireplace, bright veranda, and spaces that work naturally for both intimate dinners and larger groups.
