Caterings with traditional Tuscan recipes

"We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons!"

With a profound love for tradition and a passion for an antique culinary culture and its decisive flavors, we propose a Catering service which is deeply tied to the territory of Tuscany.

This service can be provided for smaller and larger groups, either in a manner of buffet or with tables set rustically and with wines of the territory to accompany the meals perfectly.

Here you will find some ideas for how you could combine a delicious dinner menu. You could either let us put together a menu for you, or you may choose freely from the list below. Keep in mind that these are only some of the dishes that our chefs can prepare. It is also possible to create menus that are specific to one area in Tuscany, or fish menus, game menus, vegetarian menus, etc.
