Ristorante la Grotta

"La Grotta is located in an authentic and charming sixteenth century building, directly opposite the Church of San Biagio, one of the best examples of Tuscan Renaissance architecture. La Grotta strives to offer a perfect balance between traditional Tuscan cuisine and modern gastronomy - blending the authenticity of the region with innovation while respecting its centuries-old traditions. The dishes at La Grotta take you on a journey which explores the ingredients, traditions and seasons of the area. La Grotta's chef focuses on the quality of the ingredients, rather than on the complexity of the dishes. The wine list offers a vast range of locally-produced bottles alongside a wide choice of international labels, all of which will assist you on your gastronomic journey. Recommended dishes: - poached egg with pecorino cheese and summer truffle (vegetarian); - crostini toscani al Vin Santo: toast with chicken liver patè (also known as Tuscan patè) and "Holy wine" reduction; - pici (like a very thick, handrolled spaghetti) with olive oil, garlic, chili pepper and hazelnuts (vegetarian); - pappa al pomodoro: thick, tomato and bread stew (vegetarian); - pigeon ravioli with saffron butter (!); - bistecca: steak; - maialino arrosto: roast pork; - agnello: lamb.
