The Peposo, a rich, peppery beef stew, earns unanimous praise as the star of the menu. Reviewers describe the overall vibe as rustic, warm, and deeply satisfying, a true taste of Tuscan home cooking.

Schiacciata
This is bread dough, I start with them.
Pappa al Pomodoro
Pappa al pomodoro, how good! I don't need to explain it: creamy, oniony, tomatoey, good. But my favorite is the ribollita.
Ribollita
It's spectacular. Obviously I think the season for ribollita has passed because it's past the time for cabbage and black kale, but it's good, what can I say.
