Download the form, fill it out and return it to us with an email to ortigenerali@gmail.com at least 7 days in advance of the requested date.
No tables are reserved even for reserved people, but we sit freely inside the farmhouse (3 indoor spaces for a total of about 100 people and 28 outdoor tables for a total of about 130 people).
With a large outdoor area, Orti Generali Kiosk is the new gathering place in Mirafiori where conviviality meets quietness. Not only a meeting point after work in the gardens, but above all an opportunity to eat and drink in the open air.
The kiosk has been opened since 2020 in a redeveloped building with 28 tables on the park on the Sangone River, between the river forest, urban farm and community gardens.
We try to respect the park and the environment, using glass cups, reusable and recyclable materials, and avoiding plastic as much as possible. Kitchen waste feed the farm animals or end up in the compost bin.
Among our menu offerings, which vary every week, the merenda sinoira is always the recommended choice from menu proposals, which vary every week: a traditional food that originated in the countryside…and once again, we want to bring the countryside to the city!
The proposals are simple but easy to combine, with sandwiches, hot dishes, and fresh salads, all prepared with organic vegetables and seasonal raw materials.
We also always have a selection of baked desserts such as cakes, cookies, and muffins or cold spoon such as pannacotta, tiramisu, or cheesecake, all daily freshly homemade.
Accompanying the dishes on the menu are craft beers from R.A.M.-Roots in Moncalieri and Biova Project, bulk and bottled wine from Vincenzo Bossotti, apple juice of ancient varieties from Cascina Danesa, and products from selected local suppliers such as cheeses, which make up the offerings for a tasty Sinoira snack at all hours on weekends.
Panacea multigrain bread made from Stupinigi flours is served.
And finally AGRIBERRONI ice cream, Vergnano coffee and Quaglia spirits.
- IF I HAVE BOOKED A PARTY, CAN I ALSO BOOK A BIRTHDAY CAKE?
Of course! In the reservation form you will find the menu and you can also choose a birthday homemade cake personalized with beautiful flowers or seasonal fruit.
- HOW DO I CHOOSE WHAT TO EAT?
You enter the kiosk order or take from the refrigerator-window what you prefer, stop at the cash register, and go into the park. There is no table service.
- HOW DO I BEHAVE WHEN I LEAVE?
We ask that you leave the tables as you found them, taking care of garbage collection and bringing dishes, glasses, pitchers and trays to the kitchen.
- HOW DO I DEAL WITH THE FARM ANIMALS?
Near the kiosk live the Scottish cows Baboo and Diamantina, the chickens Mariele, Greta, Anoka, Howey, Lilly, Iris, Margarita, Luisa Marie, Vanessa, Ayakha, Nemonte, Amelia, Xiye, and the sheep in summer. You can enter with your animals strictly on a leash. It is very important not to approach the animals, feed them, make sudden movements, throw objects, shout or scare them.
- WHAT IF I WANT TO EAT SALAD FROM MY GARDEN?
If you have an assigned vegetable garden at Orti Generali, you can wash your salad in the sink outside. We will be happy to provide you with dressing and cutlery to enjoy your work in the garden.
- IF I HAD A PICNIC LUNCH?
No food or drink can be brought into the farm, but we are within a large river park in which any picnic is possible.
- HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR WEEKLY MENU?
By coming directly to the kiosk and consulting the blackboard at the entrance, or by following us on social media (Instagram and Facebook).
