Il Cigliere del Rustico In Castelfiorentino

05/04/2025: Ancient trattoria with adjoining shop in an old building, perhaps a customs house from a few centuries ago. Of course, when you enter these places you don't expect a restaurant with frills but you always think you can eat traditional dishes. The dishes were sometimes satisfying, sometimes less so if the croutons had a good accompaniment, especially the livers, it was unfortunate that French bread was used instead of the excellent Tuscan bread they presented. The cured meats are also good, the dried sausage and finocchiona while the capocollo and ham are so-so; instead of the cracklings which were from a scarce supermarket, two slices of lard made a better impression. What can we say compared to good table service, there is a cuisine that should improve at least in the preparation of the first courses.

15/12/2024: Abbiamo pranzato in questa osteria, prendendo crostini di fegatini con tartufo (buoni e ben conditi), ravioli di patate al ragù (anche questi delicati con un ottimo ragù), tagliata (superlativa), torta di castagne e cantucci. Il tutto accompagnato da un buon chianti Cosa non trascurabile, il conto più che onesto. Consigliatissimo
