13/05/2026: Yesterday was one of those rare afternoons that reminds you why travel is one of life's greatest gifts.
We spent it at the breathtaking Borgo San Felice, nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti, surrounded by some close friends visiting from California.
The afternoon began with a Tuscan experience tour that led us through centuries of winemaking history, the earthy perfume of the cellar, and a wine tasting that turned into a masterclass in why this corner of the world is simply unmatched. Glass by glass, the landscape seemed to pour itself into every sip, and we laughed some more 😂🍷
As the sun began to set, we made our way to dinner at Osteria il Grigio, where the Michelin-star team had prepared something truly special: several magnificent bistecca Fiorentina, cooked with the kind of confidence and quiet mastery that only comes from decades of devotion to the craft. The beef was extraordinary charred, perfumed with rosemary, impossibly tender, and paired with a Brunello di Montalcino, it was almost too good to be true.
What made the whole day unforgettable, though, wasn't just the wine or the food, it was sharing it all with people you love, laughing across the table for several hours echoing within the ancient stone walls of the borgo.
Tuscany has a way of slowing time, and that night it stopped altogether.
08/05/2026: We ate here twice during our stay. I really enjoyed the crostini appetizer and all of the pastas that we had (papperadelle, a truffle special, and the boar lasagna). Service was great and the wine selection was very nice as well. The tiramisu was a great dessert and they also make good pizzas! Highly recommend if you are in the area. I liked the steak Florentine but I just think their pasta is too good to pass up.
