LOCALLY SOURCED, DIVINELY PREPARED CUISINE
IN THE FINEST
LUCCHESE TRADITION
No
English translations on the menu here.
But
between our host’s decent but limited English, our very limited Italian, and
some similarity of Italian to Spanish, we felt right at home.
Our
host read aloud to us everything listed on the menu, plus the specials, all the
while rhapsodizing about the charms of each tantalizing dish.
We
started with Tortino di Carciofi: artichoke flan.
This typically Tuscan dish
was a soft, spongy, flavorful confection.
A
tomato-based soup with locally sourced prawns and a light, citrus-y pino gris
made for a lovely pairing.
We
savored our primi pasti, enjoying the sight of an elegant greyhound who’d come
with his master to chat a spell with the proprietor.
