The medieval dining scene in Cavernago centers around two memorable experiences at Malpaga Castle. The atmospheric Witches Dinner (€90) combines a 3-hour feast with costumed servers and authentic Middle Ages recipes. My favorite is the Medieval Dinner (€95.11), where the castle’s grand banquet hall serves as backdrop for traditional dishes like wild boar and historical desserts. These historically accurate meals give visitors a genuine taste of northern Italy’s past. Check out our recommended castle dining experiences below.
