Description

Nestled in the heart of a charming Tuscan village, Caino is the gravitational centre of Maremma cuisine, with Valeria Piccini its finest interpreter: a skilful seeker of superior materials from a generous territory (which, along with a lovely vegetable garden, produces its own olive oil and some wines), later reimagining them without compromising an ounce of flavour—as in the delicious lamb ravioli or the pigeon stuffed with mashed potatoes and its entrails. For those craving a touch of the sea, there's an excellent risotto featuring cardoncelli mushrooms, lovage, and langoustines or amberjack
