Guests visit Butler, an Italian restaurant, as if it's a reception in a castle, which might as well be true — this is an entire turreted manor. In the winter, it sparkles with festive lights, while the summer sees it drowning in a sea of green with a white grand piano and chandeliers. The padrone di casa* is Giuseppe Davi from Verona, a man of effervescent nature and virtuoso chef: tasting menus, brunches, even VIP food for your pets — not to mention pasta, pizza, steaks, and seafood from the main menu, lavishly embellished with DOP-certified delicacies. If you’d like to show off brands and carats reserved for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este without leaving Patriarch's, book a table and order Catalan-style crab with tomato water, sea bream with artichokes, and collectible Super Tuscan vintages.
