Tuscan specialities in Vallombrosa

The Restaurant: Tuscan specialities

Welcome to "La Gastronomia" Restaurant in Vallombrosa, a place where Tuscan culinary tradition meets the authenticity of local flavours. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Vallombrosa forest, our restaurant offers a unique gastronomic experience, centred around fresh, genuine products sourced from the surrounding lands.

Our cuisine is inspired by traditional Tuscan recipes, prepared with passion and respect for high-quality ingredients. Among our specialities, you will find traditional Tuscan cured meats, including the famous sbriciolona, a delicately flavoured finocchiona, crispy wood-fired porchetta, and aged prosciutto. We also offer Tuscan pecorino cheeses with varying maturities, ranging from fresh to well-aged, perfect for enjoying with honey and artisanal jams. Additionally, we serve game ragù, roasts, rich polenta, grilled meats, ossibuchi, and peposo, to name just a few. Fresh porcini mushrooms are available during the season, along with homemade desserts such as tarts, crème caramel, panna cotta, apple pie, fritters, and cenci, all sure to delight your palate.

Soups and Traditional Dishes

Our menu features Tuscan soups, rich in flavour and prepared according to ancient recipes from the peasant tradition. From ribollita, made with cavolo nero and stale bread, to pappa al pomodoro, each dish pays homage to the genuine and simple flavours that define Tuscan cuisine. For meat lovers, we offer classic Florentine specialities, such as the famous bistecca alla fiorentina, cooked to perfection and served with a side of seasonal fresh vegetables.
