Here, immersed in the Tuscan countryside, on the hills of Bagno a Ripoli, Roberto and Francesco hand down with great passion the tradition of the historic Trattoria that for almost 100 years has been interpreting the great culinary tradition of this area.
The Cuisine
La Gargotta has a traditional cuisine with great attention to the quality and freshness of the ingredients. For this reason we use seasonal products coming mainly from our territory.
Chef Roberto prepares traditional dishes as well as recipes revisited respecting the taste and the original recipe. In addition to the famous Florentine Steak there are other “cult” dishes such as the Gnudi, the Peposo alla fornacina, the Florentine Trippa or the Pappardelle with hare sauce.
Artusi docet
The historian Pellegrino Artusi, a famous culinary critic, describes the Florentine steak as “(…) is nothing more than a chop with his bone, coarse a finger or a finger and a half, cut from the loin of veal.”
