Restaurant
La Locanda nel Cassero, B&B in Tuscany, has a renowned and much-appreciated restaurant (also in the Michelin Guide). The premises that now house the restaurant once belonged to one of the many olive presses in the village. The renovations brought the medieval building back to its original splendour. The stone walls have been painted in the warm colours of the Tuscan countryside, there is a fireplace where a real fire is lit in the cold winter months to create a warmer and romantic atmosphere the rustic furnishings bring back to life the tradition of the Tuscan "arte povera" with elegant details such as fresh flowers and fine tableware. This ensemble provides the guests with the unique opportunity to taste the flavours of the most refined Tuscan cuisine in a homey and welcoming genuine environment.
Chef Alessandro Prosperi proposes his personal interpretation of the traditional Tuscan cuisine. Since only fresh seasonal ingredients are used to prepare the delicious dishes, the menu varies according to the available products and includes a selection of "antipasti" (appetizers),"primi (first courses mostly pasta dishes), "secondi" (second courses, mostly meat or fish dishes) and desserts. The menu also includes vegetarian dishes.
The menu includes the most traditional foods of the Tuscan cuisine and of the Maremma in particular: game, cured meats, crostini – the traditional toasted slices of bread with different sauces, the popular "rivolto del Cassero” – similar to a crepe filled with pancetta and cheese, the world-famous Florentine-style steak, "Fiorentina" and “tagliata” – sliced steak seasoned with olive oil and aromatic herbs. The menu also includes lesser known traditional dishes, all prepared with local fresh ingredients. All dishes, both the traditional and the innovative recipes, are skilfully reinvented in order to ensure a different experience every time. You will never get bored of eating at La Locanda del Cassero and you will certainly want to come back.
La Locanda del Cassero features an extensive wine list to satisfy the most demanding wine lovers. An extensive selection of local and "Super Tuscan" wines (Montecucco D.O.C., Morellino D.O.C., Monteregio D.O.C., Chianti D.O.C.G., Brunello D.O.C.G.), along with other great Italian wines ensures the perfect combination with the dishes available on the menu at all times of the year.
