Our grocery/restaurant was born with the aim of keeping the Tuscan tradition alive, offering genuine dishes with top quality ingredients.
We are very careful about the origin of our products and for this reason we propose everyday some dishes off the menu, accordingly to the availability of special raw materials.
We value our beloved land by using and selling products and raw materials that the hills of Lari give us in every season.
Our goal is to make you feel the warmth and the scents of home: drive you in a journey through Tuscan flavors, to discover ancient culinary traditions, handed down from generation to generation.
