My kitchen blends the essence of Tuscan-Emilian tradition, with an unwavering commitment to quality and selection of locally sourced products. Enjoy our typical Tuscan appetizers, along with homemade crescentine and tigelle. Our tortellini and tagliatelle are strictly handmade, while many consider my unbeatable lasagna as a specialty! Regarding main courses, I offer a variety of meats, from game to roasts. Don't miss out on my wild boar stew served with polenta. Spoon desserts and doughnuts complete the culinary experience, all accompanied by fine Tuscan-Emilian wines.

- Warm and welcoming atmosphere, warm and informal hospitality, spent pleasant hours, learned new things, ate well in excellent company. An experience to be absolutely repeated and definitely recommended to friends and acquaintances.
- The traditional Tuscan appetiser immediately set the tone, showcasing excellent local products and honest, rustic flavours. The highlight of the meal was the polenta with wild boar: sweet, rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced, with slow-cooked meat that paired perfectly with a robust local red wine. To finish, cantucci with Vin Santo provided a classic and satisfying ending — simple, warm, and full of tradition. More than just a meal, this was a genuine taste of Italian home cooking, shared with great hospitality in a stunning mountain setting. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic flavours and a love for wine.🍷
- A very pleasant experience: we ate the typical Bolognese dish, tigelle, accompanied by good wine and good company. Claudia and her family were a wonderful discovery, both culinarily because she is very skilled, and as people because they welcomed us warmly. The location is super intimate, with a well-kept and comfortable atmosphere. I also brought my little dog, who made friends with Toby, the four-legged host. An experience I recommend to all lovers of good food and conviviality, we rated it a 10!
- Fantastic experience! It was like going to lunch at the aunt who lives a couple of hours away by car. We chose the "tigelle" experience to please everyone’s tastes, and I must say it was a success! Claudia’s tigelle, cooked upon our arrival, were truly amazing, and moreover prepared in front of the wood-burning stove, which radiated just the right warmth to take us back thirty years when we had one too. Excellent cured meats, high-quality cheeses, delicious desserts, all accompanied by wines expertly and carefully paired by Elisabetta, Claudia’s daughter. We, with almost the whole family, were looking for something new but at the same time familiar, and at Claudia’s we found everything. Her daughter, Elisabetta, and Davide, the son-in-law: young, lively, and eager to meet new people. Gilberto, her husband, is the embodiment of the “Cesarine” Mission! Born and raised in Bargi, from where he moved away during the time he worked in Prato, he guided us on a tour of the small village, with the way of telling things that only someone who has lived it since childhood can have. Claudia, framing it all, with that typical attitude of someone who doesn’t want traditions to be lost! Above all, aware that behind every dish there are scents and flavors that remain imprinted in the minds of those who taste them, evoking memories of convivial moments full of serenity. Thank you for everything, we will definitely return, perhaps with the rest of the family ❣️
