Black Horse In Arezzo

03/09/2025: Can you travel to a small, non-touristy Tuscan town, far from the beaten track, and find a culinary delight that will long linger in your heart as a perfect combination of exquisite, exquisitely prepared dishes, exquisite wines (we had a bottle of Viogner from Cortona—it was wonderful!), a captivating and refined interior, and competent, friendly, and discreet service? Yes! Cavriglia has such a gem, and it's called Papposileno! We stumbled upon it by chance and left enchanted. We sampled the five-course tasting menu and were saddened that this extraordinary culinary journey was over. Even though it lasted, leisurely, for over two hours... The menu changes daily, depending on what delicious dishes chef Ada D'Amato managed to find, and her daughter, who serves guests, expertly explains the intricacies of flavors and textures. This isn't a place you'd want to drop in for a quick, hearty, inexpensive dinner with your kids, who mostly eat fries or chicken nuggets. Such customers are in for a disappointment. But if you're looking for a place to spend an unforgettable time with someone important to you, it's worth giving Papposileno a try. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time, and if it ever comes to Cavriglia again, I'll definitely be back!

17/08/2025: My favorite restaurant in Italy! Whenever we visit my family, my husband and I treat ourselves in this hidden gem. Eating at Papposileno is not only a beautiful dinner but a real culinary experience. Every time, a beautiful journey through different tastes. I warmly recommend the tasting menu for a perfect experience. The service is the finest, taking you into the journey with great recommendations for wine pairing and explanation about the ingredients. Beautiful and cozy locations, with high attention to details. A must do, if you visit Cavriglia and surroundings. Thanks so much for another great evening !
