Yesterday for dinner we have been at Taverna del Patriarca.

It is a typical osteria located in the antique wine cellars of the Villa il Patriarca and offers the best of local Tuscan tradition.

The spacialities are the hand made pasta and the ‘Chianina’ meat, and in general typical meat and fish dishes. We’ve loved so much the rare  Chianina steak 

The interior design and the fornuiture are informal, to spend a moment in pleasant company in front of the fireplace.

The excellence of Tuscan Cuisine The attention to detail in the use of carefully selected local ingredients, a dash of fantasy and the precision in presentation of dishes.

These are the key ingredients skillfully used by Katia Maccari, Chef Executive of I Salotti and Taverna, the two restaurants of Patriarca.

 In Italiano: La Taverna del Patriarca è una tipica osteria toscana ricavata nelle antiche cantine dell’hotel con l’intento di valorizzare le rinomate specialità regionali.

La sua particolarità è un braciere a vista dove vengono cotti piatti di carne e di pesce. Ad una cucina semplice e gustosa si unisce un servizio assai cortese, che rende la Taverna un locale perfetto per trascorrere in allegria qualsiasi tipo di evento. La selezione dei vini inoltre è molto ampia e vanta etichette di elevato pregio.

Noi amiamo ordinare antipasto locale e chianina con verdure di stagione!

Ma se siamo proprio affamati anche i pici con il ragù di chianina! Aperta tutto l’anno, a pranzo e a cena.
