Collelungo

In the heart of one of Italy’s most iconic landscapes, Chianti Classico, with its harmonious hills and vineyards tracing picture-perfect panoramas, Albergaccio, considered Tuscany’s oldest historic restaurant, welcomes guests with a perfect balance of past and present. The interiors preserve the authentic charm of the setting, while the kitchen reinterprets traditional dishes with a contemporary touch, never betraying their essence. In the dining room, Francesco greets guests with grace and professionalism, guiding them in selecting the wine best suited to enhance the gastronomic experience. A

The two traditional rooms at this restaurant are perfectly in keeping with the medieval atmosphere of the beautifully preserved village of San Donato. The cuisine is obviously Tuscan in style, delighting guests with its exquisite home-made pasta expertly prepared by young chef Matteo. At certain times of the year, special dishes such as game make an appearance on the menu – the wild boar stew is not to be missed! Among the desserts, make sure you try the caramel panna cotta which is one of the best in the region. The small wine list includes a few labels from famous wineries.

The menu crafted by Guido, a chef attentive to seasonality and estate products, is a tribute to the land. The extra virgin olive oil comes from Poggibonsi or Castellina, both from the same farm. Among the signature dishes is the beetroot risotto with pancetta, crème fraîche, and nasturtium – but only when in season! The wine cellar features Tuscan, Italian, and international labels, with a special treat to try: Amphoreum, a home-produced orange wine made from Trebbiano, known for its salinity and medium body.

One of the most famous butchers in Italy has now turned his hand to cooking. At two locations, Solociccia or Officina della Bistecca, the menu is unique and served at a specific time with a meat proposal or a vegetarian option. Solociccia is only open for lunch.

The gastronomic dream of every traveler in Tuscany takes shape at this restaurant, housed in a quintessential Chianti farmhouse with a shaded terrace dedicated to summer service. The menu presents a notable procession of regional flavors guided by the seasons: pici with salt cod, three peppers, and pistachio pesto; squab with truffle vinaigrette; ricotta and citrus cake with ginger sauce… culminating in the unmissable Fiorentina, the territory’s timeless icon.
