Offered in: English and 1 more

Join the owners of the restaurant to create an authentic Tuscan lunch. Along the way discuss the history of cuisine in Tuscany, which traditions have persisted and why, and complete the experience with a selection of local wines matched to each course.

Our (restaurant’s) philosophy focuses on tradition and getting back to the roots of authentic Florentine cuisine. As such, we will share some of the recipes passed down through generations of our family. Furthermore, we will give you insights into the cooking techniques that with respect to tradition enhance and highlight the quality and flavors inherent in the ingredients.

Together we will prepare a four course meal; appetizer, handmade pasta, main course and dessert. The menu will be based on seasonal traditions and the availability of fresh produce.

After all of your ‘hard’ work, sit down, relax and savor the fruits of your labor. Enjoy your four course lunch with a selection of traditional Tuscan wines.

What to expect

Our team consists of a restauranteur and a travel specialist, in collaboration with local wine, olive oil and food producers. Together we are bringing our passion for Florence and Tuscany to the table. We are reviving Florentine culinary traditions and most importantly we are supporting our local producers whose ingredients become the real protagonists on the table.

Embracing the concept of farm to table and sourcing local products not only gives you an authetic experience and the opportunity to taste unique, non-commerical products, but it helps support our local economy, and reduces our impact on the environment. Tuscans produce food with passion, respect and gratitude for the land and what it provides.

Let us introduce you to our wonderful wines and traditional Tuscan products.
