20/04/2025: In the heart of Valdarno, in Terranuova Bracciolini, the Macelleria Giaccherini da Maria restaurant stands out for its authentic gastronomic offer, strongly rooted in the Tuscan tradition, with particular attention to the quality of the meat and the short supply chain.
Environment and hospitality
The restaurant naturally combines the rustic soul of a historic village butcher's shop with the more convivial soul of a modern grill. The rooms, although not very large, are warm and welcoming, with a family atmosphere made even more pleasant by the courtesy of the staff and the presence of Mrs. Maria, the true hostess, who welcomes guests with simplicity and passion.
Cuisine: quality and substance
The culinary offering is based on selected cuts of Tuscan meat, with a predilection for Chianina PGI, served in various preparations that enhance its flavour: from the classic cut with lard and rosemary to the grilled fillet, each dish demonstrates perfect mastery of cooking and respect for the raw material.
Don't miss the house appetizer, a rich platter of artisanal cured meats and local cheeses, and the first courses - such as tagliatelle with truffles or pici with meat sauce - which confirm the home-made but refined approach of the kitchen. Even the desserts, all homemade, close the meal with simplicity and taste.
Service and prices
The service is attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. Waiting times are adequate and the staff is available to recommend pairings with local wines, among which Chianti labels stand out. The prices, consistent with the quality offered, are positioned in the medium-high range, but are justified by the excellence of the raw materials and the final satisfaction of the experience.
Conclusion
The Giaccherini da Maria Macelleria Restaurant is an unmissable stop for meat lovers and for those who want to savor true Tuscan cuisine in an authentic and sincere context. A reality that combines tradition and passion, capable of transforming every meal into a genuine moment of conviviality.
