On-site consumption · always available
No booking, no date, no ticket. The MA.RU. store is on the lake — and what's available that day is yours. Three fresh clams of the day, morning fish preparations, Lake Faro specialities. Sit, eat, watch the lake. It's that simple.
MA.RU. Mini Events · periodic
Periodically MA.RU. organises Mini Events: themed occasions where the tasting becomes a full experience. An evening with Lillo and Salvatore in the water. An afternoon dedicated to swordfish. The three clams in sequence with local pairings.
Not a restaurant dinner. Ganzirri telling its story
The Rizza — from lake to tray
Lillo and Salvatore take participants to the lakeside during the morning harvest, explain the process, show the rakes. Then tasting: freshly harvested Rizza.
The three clams — comparative tasting
Rizza, Fimminedda and Cocciula opened on the spot, served in sequence. You’ll understand why the three species are three completely different experiences.
Swordfish Season · June/August
When the feluche are in the water, MA.RU. organises a special event with fresh swordfish preparations from the Strait. With the story of the millenary tradition.
Special guests · chefs, researchers, fishermen
On special occasions, MA.RU. invites local chefs, researchers or feluca fishermen for an evening blending gastronomy, culture and territory.
