Locanda Vini & Olii

Description

Summary: Tuscan flavors in a historic former drugstore setting.

Locanda Vini & Olii offers a unique dining experience in a century-old former drugstore, where the charm of the past blends with the flavors of Tuscany. The restaurant, now a cozy retreat for Italian cuisine aficionados, stands as a testament to the transformative power of culinary passion. The shelves, once lined with medicine bottles, now display an array of carefully selected wines from small vineyards, while the menu boasts an eclectic selection of olives, tempting antipasti like lamb prosciutto with pear and rosemary marmalade, and hearty dishes such as black pepper cavatelli with porcini mushrooms. The wild boar carpaccio with roasted mushrooms primes the palate for a feast of seafood "guazzetto" rich with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and leeks, all brought to life with the zest of Sicilian blood oranges. Locanda Vini & Olii is a culinary treasure that diners may just want to keep as their own little secret.
