Antica Trattoria dal 1984
The tradition of Tuscan cuisine with an accurate selection of wines
L’Antica Trattoria is located in Piazza Arnolfo di Cambio, in the very heart of Colle di Val d'Elsa, between Siena and Florence. It is a magical place, where flavours and scents evoke an authentic Tuscan character, further enhanced by the cuisine and the vast selection of accompanying wines.While the cuisine offered by the Paradisi family is indeed linked to the most ancient Tuscan tradition, it is revisited with a touch of creativity and innovation. This, and the seasonal and fresh catch fish dishes, make everything even more appealing.
The "ribollita" bean and vegetable soup, tripe and beef tagliata thus unveil ancient and bucolic emotions, and the braised rabbit pappardelle bring to mind a calling for the wild, the emblem of a Val d'Elsa that revolves around an untamed domestic environment that smells of crostini, Cinta Senese cured meats, and bacon.As for the wine cellar, one immediately senses that oenological wisdom has been constantly put to use through all the bottles recommended, uncorked and savoured over the years.
All this is surrounded by a special atmosphere, where the guest becomes involved in a friendly culinary complicity.
Dogs are not allowed in indoor rooms, only in outdoor spaces when they are open. We love animals, indoor spaces unfortunately are not suitable for them.
Visiting the cellar of the Antica Trattoria you can perceive the knowledge of wine thath has been practiced continuosly over the years, everything is trasformed into an extensive wine list full of labels. It is possible to taste a glass of wine in this magical place where the flavors are reminiscent of an authentic Tuscany involved in a cordial gastronomic complicity.
