Chef-Led Event Cuisine
At Villa Rota, chef Walter Bianconi brings fine dining standards into event cooking, with seasonal produce, strong ingredients and flavours you recognise. The style is Italian at heart, then updated with a contemporary hand and the occasional reference picked up from abroad. Menus move easily across meat, fish and handmade pasta, with vegetarian and vegan options, plus dishes designed for allergies and intolerances. The goal stays practical: every guest at the table should feel included, and every plate should land with clarity, warmth and real appetite.
Villa Rota, Anywhere
Villa Rota doesn’t only cook inside the villa. With Villa Rota, Anywhere, chef Walter Bianconi and the team cater weddings and events across Italy and abroad, keeping the same level of cooking and organisation. Menus are tailored to the style of the day, the flow of the event, and the preferences and dietary needs of each group. It’s the same kitchen, the same people, just built to travel.
Piangipane, Ravenna
Villa Rota sits in the Ravenna countryside, in Piangipane, inside a historic residence once owned by the Counts Pasolini Dall’Onda. Guests move between frescoed halls, four elegant rooms (one with a working Baroque fireplace), and a one-hectare park with century-old trees and ornamental plants. A small chapel stands near the entrance for ceremonies, and a modern glass pavilion at the back opens to the sky in summer and closes for winter events.
The Bianconi Family
Behind Villa Rota is a family story that started in a restaurant dining room: Donata welcoming guests, Ada rolling pasta, and Walter building a career that earned a Michelin star long before the villa became their focus. Their daughter Carolina later returned to help shape the project through planning and guest support. That “human touch” isn’t a tagline here, it’s the way the whole day is run.
“Our strength is the human touch.”
