La Locanda di Pietracupa
Six months later, I am finally getting around to loading pictures from this fabulous ristorante. Perched on the higher ground of San Donato, their dining patio looks west across a valley of olive groves. Somewhere, not far beyond this valley, lies another, Val d'Elsa, the medieval hilltop town of Barbarino, and the rustic tranquility of La Torre di Ponzano, our refuge for one week. We enjoyed the food and service so much that we dined here twice!
Here is my view from our second visit, May 26th, 2008. The picture at the top of this blog shows me (D's view) from the same visit.
The pictures that follow are my best shots from both visits. Hope you enjoy!
Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Always sampling the local specialties.
Tomato Soup
Fava Beans and Salami in a fold of crispy Parmesan. Notice the tiny favas are not peeled.
Artichoke Flan. Outstanding!
House made Spaghetti with Squash Blossoms and shaved Truffles. Even Better!!!
