The Tradition

From fresh pasta to authentic Tuscan barbecue

Our cuisine celebrates traditional recipes using authentic, locally sourced ingredients. Every day, we hand-roll our fresh pasta, served with a rich, traditional meat sauce, and select the finest cuts of meat to offer you the authentic Bistecca alla Fiorentina, masterfully cooked to perfection over the hot coals of our grill fueled by Calabrian charcoal.

The Pizzeria

Alongside traditional Tuscan cuisine, we offer the art of pizza-making in an oven built entirely of firebrick. We prepare our dough using a slow, natural rising process that lasts about 72 hours to ensure a fragrant crust and easy digestion. Alongside our classic offerings, let yourself be tempted by our gourmet Speciality Pizzas, topped with the freshest ingredients such as South Tyrolean IGP speck, red radicchio, and a juicy whole buffalo mozzarella.

A rustic yet elegant atmosphere

Take a seat beneath our historic brick vaults and exposed beams. Surrounded by copper tableware and a carefully curated selection of the finest Tuscan wines and Super Tuscans from our cellar, you’ll rediscover classic hits playing in the background and find the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, a family lunch, or a special evening with friends. We’ve thought of the whole family’s comfort: for the little ones, we provide practical wooden high chairs to make mealtime comfortable and safe. Additionally, to make diaper changes a breeze, you’ll find a convenient changing table in the women’s restroom.
