Osteria Maccalè In Sorano

Excellent local dishes and ancient recipes, attentive and very friendly service, you feel at home.

All very good, many proposals, very welcoming.

I was part of a group and we came for lunch after a visit to a winery. We arrived almost at 2 pm, but we were welcomed warmly and with a smile on our faces. As soon as we sat down I pointed out that I had to eat gluten-free as I am celiac. They made me the whole menu (all typical by the way) alternative to the others gluten-free and always with local cuisine!! Everything delicious and traditional!! I really recommend it! Super honest price!

Very delicious homemade food with a cozy atmosphere, we came from Saturnia hot springs with our dog Shih Tzu Kei and we couldn't find anything and this has been like an oasis in the middle of Tuscany, excellent homemade pastas and desserts!! Place to return!

The Osteria Maccalè in San Giovanni delle Contee represents a shining example of how the passion and commitment of a community can revitalize a historic village. In 2019, a local cooperative decided to reopen the town's historic inn, transforming it into a point of reference for both residents and visitors. The menu at Osteria Maccalè is a journey into the local culinary tradition, with dishes that rediscover ancient recipes thanks to the memory of the town's elderly. Among the specialties stand out the "ceciarelli sangiovannesi", a bean cream soup with homemade pasta using local legumes and flours, and the tortello filled with Sorano stracchino, produced by the nearby dairy cooperative. The tavern also stands out for the use of short-chain and organic ingredients, which give the dishes authentic and genuine flavours. The pasta handmade by the expert chefs recalls the aromas of family lunches and dinners of the past, offering a culinary experience that unlocks memories and emotions. The welcoming environment of the tavern is enriched by elements that recall the history and culture of the Maremma, creating a familiar and relaxing atmosphere. In addition to the cuisine, the tavern acts as a meeting point for the community, offering services such as the delivery of groceries and medicines to the elderly, and promoting events that enhance local traditions. Thanks to this dedication, Osteria Maccalè has obtained national recognition, such as the "Saporiamo Italia" award in the "Best Restaurants" category, underlining the excellence of the project and its positive impact on the local community. Visiting Osteria Maccalè means immersing yourself in an authentic culinary experience, where each dish tells a story of tradition, passion and connection with the territory. Today we were guests of a member of the Tuscan Sommelier delegation, we were able to taste some wines from the Sasso tondo company, which I highly recommend you visit for a complete experience in this place.

The inn is run by the local citizens' cooperative and serves as a social meeting place in a structurally poor village at risk of emigration. Excellent regional dishes, mainly prepared with agricultural products from the nearby area. Price-performance ratio excellent. Friendly reception. Beautiful view. Local products are also for sale.

It is worth making the trip from Rome to eat in this welcoming Osteria. Quality and tradition combined with the passion and experience of those who create in the kitchen!

We came across this place because we had heard about it and we were not disappointed :) We were struck by the very warm and welcoming environment and the love with which everything is done; from the preparation of the delicious dishes to the courtesy in taking orders at the table, ending with the kindness of the landlady who came to visit us at the table to ask us about us and tell us their story... in short, everything will tell you about community, attention to detail and hospitality. a meeting point for the local citizens, a precious and human initiative, an inn that absolutely must be supported and visited. You won't regret it. ❤️

Osteria in una minuscola frazione, San Giovanni delle Contee, di un piccolo paese, Sorano, a cavallo tra Maremma, Tuscia ed Umbria. Già solo il tragitto per arrivarci è un affascinante viaggio attraverso un'Italia fatta di natura incontaminata e paesaggi di altri tempi. L'accoglienza ed il servizio, semplici ma accoglienti, con quel calore di "famiglia" che ti fa entrare subito in confidenza con il personale, le ricette della tradizione locale, casarecce ma realizzate perfettamente e con una materia prima di qualità e davvero a km 0, i prezzi modici ed una carta dei vini sorprendentemente vasta ed attenta alle realtà artigianali del territorio (tra le tante segnatevi Cantina del Rospo) sono solo alcuni dei motivi per cui tornare e ritornare qui. Un'esperienza in osteria che in realtà è un viaggio in un'altra Italia che forse non esiste più ma che vale la pena preservare e custodire ❤️

Bella locanda, abbiamo mangiato benissimo, sono stati gentili ad aspettarci fino alle 15.00. Ci torneremo. Complimenti
