Crostini Toscani
These crostini have minced meat and chicken liver — a real Tuscan classic. I'm a bit generous with ratings, but I really like them a lot.
Pici all'Aglione
This pici all'aglione is made with aglione grown for two years — first year small bulbs, second year they get big. She blended it, put it in a pan with oil, then added tomato. It's incredible — the pasta is perfect, the sauce is so flavourful. I'd feel bad leaving this tomato sauce behind in Tuscany.
Coniglio con Verdure
This rabbit with vegetables is something really strange — in a good way. Guerrino cut it himself, it's home-raised rabbit. I broke my fork trying to eat it, but it's so tender I could eat it with a bent fork. The potatoes are great too.
Parmigiana di Melanzane
This eggplant parmigiana is a vegetable dish — eggplant. It's UNESCO heritage, I swear. I don't even want to talk about it, it's that good.
Cantucci e Vin Santo
Cantucci with Vin Santo — typical Tuscan stuff, all local, kilometre zero. Perfect end to the meal.
