After the visit to the city of age-old history, a sunny day spent by the pool, or a walk in the park....after sunset, body and soul need to be nourished... the old kitchen oven is lit and the oak wood disperses its scent in the air, the bruschetta turns brown... There’s the sound of the bell.... The ritual of eating can begin!

Franco offers a different menu each evening with specialties prepared with local seasonal ingredients and ingredients from the farm, with our extra-virgin olive oil as a base, preparing everything fresh.

You will taste his appetisers, such as bruschetta, with seasoned oil and his own special sauce, the best Tuscan salami, prosciutto, cured meats and fennel, toasted bread with various toppings, and a selection of fresh and aged cheeses.

Among the starter dishes, caserecce al ragù (bread with sauce), pappardelle alla boscaiola (pasta with mushrooms), maniche alla nana, and a range of tasty soups: spelt, barley, Volterra soup…, tomatoes, porcini mushroom risotto or asparagus risotto, with asparagus from our woods.

Amongst the main courses: magnificent Florentine Steaks and tasty grilled cuts, rostinciana and sausages, chicken and rabbit grilled over oak wood in the great oven, saddle of pork with white wine, fagioli all’uccelletta, wild Etruscan pheasant and wild boar.

.
It is a traditional kitchen, simple and tasteful, which takes you back to the old, abundant “slow food”, rediscovering the merit of sitting around a plentiful table.
The magic recipe for your well-being is made from simple and natural things, healthy eating, enjoying one another’s company, resting well and moving around in the outdoors.

“The most beautiful moment is to meet up again in the evening at the table, with the desire to be together, sharing bread, talking to a new friend about our experiences, hopes, life as it is; adventure...leaving behind the everyday, free to express ourselves in this large family gathered under the same starry sky.
In Orgiaglia, at every toast you will have one more friend!”

Franco and Umberta.
