Read what Dom Dwighty of the Yorkshire Post thought of our Tuscan Regional Dinner when he came in to review.
Tuscany is one of the most popular regions for visitors to Italy with its beautiful sunlight on rolling countryside, aristocratic villas,
medieval villages and historic towns and cities with stunning ancient artwork and statues found in churches, museums and, it seems,
on every street corner. Besides the wonderful eye candy, the other reason for visiting the area is, of course, for the pleasures of the
table.
The cooking of the region is still characteristic of the south, its gastronomic traditions derived from ‘la cucina povera’ and rustic dishes
based on the freshness and quality of seasonal produce. Even though French cuisine, with its elaborate methods and sauces came
from the recipes of the Florentine chefs of Caterina del Medici who went over there to wed a future French King , the cooking in
Tuscany is simple, unfussy but knowledgeably prepared.
Tuscany is for wine lovers and Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Tiganello and Sassicaia need no introduction as wines that are enjoyed and appreciated throughout the world.
Our menu and wine list features some typical tastes of Tuscany which we have enjoyed on our numberous trips to Tuscany. We do
hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
