Authentic Tuscan Dishes,
Season by Season

We serve the authentic Tuscan dishes of our parents and grandparents, using produce from our own farm and neighbouring estates. Everything is made by hand — all pasta, bread, and desserts.

Our restaurant is truly farm-to-table: ingredients are local and fresh with the season. We are proud to grow our own produce across our organic gardens on the farm — fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit harvested daily and brought straight to your table. We serve vegetables from our gardens following seasonal availability, so the menu is always a true reflection of what the land is offering right now.

Podere Spedalone is one of the most important historical properties in the Val d'Orcia — and our restaurant commands one of the finest views across the entire valley. The sun sets directly in front of our aperitivo terrace and outdoor dinner table, painting the valley gold as you raise your glass of Prosecco. Dinner is served outdoors whenever the weather allows.

We eat together — served at a communal table, like one big family reunion, with that unforgettable valley stretching out before you.
