The story
Tucked away in the Tuscan countryside, Podere Le Caselle earned its stripes by winning Chef Rubio’s *Camionisti in Trattoria*. As the duo JustUs discovered, the appeal is straightforward: the food is “traditional, abundant, and delicious,” the service “fast and friendly,” and the atmosphere “welcoming.” This is trattoria cooking at its most honest, where local ingredients and technique speak for themselves.
The menu leans into hearty staples that the creators specifically praised. Standouts include the *Polentina Fritta con Ragù*, *Maccherone all’Anatra*, and *Piccio con Ragù Bianco di Chianina*—each earning a thumbs-up. *Braciola di Collo* and *Patate Fritte* also drew favorable mentions. A true neighborhood favorite, this quiet, family-friendly spot delivers the kind of satisfying meal that keeps locals and travelers alike coming back.

ABBIAMO MANGIATO dalla VINCITRICE di CAMIONISTI IN TRATTORIA in TOSCANA | PODERE le CASELLE · @ 1:00

Dishes mentioned
Polentina Fritta con Ragù
This little fried polenta with ragù has a homey smell, it's crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Really tasty, very pleasant.
Prosciutto Crudo
The prosciutto isn't too aged, sliced by machine, but it's still enjoyable and pleasant, just the right amount of flavor.
Pecorino Stagionato
I guessed 12 months of aging but it's actually 4–5 months. The paste is still soft, not yet hard enough to grate, but really good and very tasty.
Maccherone all'Anatra
The homemade pasta is al dente, the duck ragù is finely minced and well made. Very good, we're off to a great start.
Piccio con Ragù Bianco di Chianina
The piccio reminds me of bigoli from Veneto. The white ragù is beautifully moist, not dry at all, and the pasta is perfect. Spectacular.
