Tuscan Italian
The rolling hills of vineyards in Tuscany are so often compared to the Wine Country of Northern California. The beauty is undeniable and at every glance-a picture postcard.
Traditional Trattoria cooking is the essence of Italian Food. It is the ‘common man’s’ meal; honest, fresh, uncomplicated comforting yet robust.
From Antipasto, the delicacies offered before the main course, featuring local dried or cured Italian meats like Salametti and grilled marinated garden vegetables to the endless variety of soft and hard cheeses, it always satisfies. Complimenting such a unending palate of flavors deserves to pair with a bottle of the best this Valley has to offer.
“MANGIA!”
