Welcome to my home! What I propose is a relaxing dinner in a warm and welcoming environment at the foot of Mount Amiata. You will taste local dishes made with genuine products treated with all respect. We will start immediately with the bubbles of an excellent prosecco, followed by an appetizer consisting of: bruschetta with local evo oil, crostino with Colonnata lard and Tuscan black crostino. A stuffed bundle presented with cream of mushrooms from our woods is the proposal for the first course that precedes a typical local second course "sausage and beans," accompanied by red wine from Val d'Orcia. To conclude our dinner, cantucci with vin santo, a must of Tuscan cuisine, cannot be missed.
Our host family was gracious and so kind. Unfortunately her translator had a last minute emergency and could not attend. Our host/chef spoke very little English so instructions were difficult.
Her next door neighbor, who spoke some English came over to assist. Everyone was so gracious and tried their best to communicate. In the end it was a delightful experience to be in the home of a wonderful Italian family.

We had such a great cooking experience with Silvia! We had 2 kids with us and she was so patient in teaching them. It was one of our favorite experiences of the trip! We felt like family with her!

My cuisine is a blend of creativity and tradition. I prefer using locally sourced ingredients from trusted small-scale producers. This approach allows me to add an innovative touch to traditional dishes while maintaining a deep connection with the local culinary heritage and supporting sustainable practices within the community.
