Ristorante da "Pampurio" In Rignano sull'arno

First outing on a Saturday in late February, almost spring-like. About thirty kilometers from Florence, along quiet roads and relaxing countryside, this long-established trattoria maintains its standard of traditional Tuscan cuisine with a few rather pleasant "reinterpretations." The portions are generous, but mezze are also available, which were perfect for us. Today: Pici alla nana (duck ragù), Gnocchi with black cabbage pesto and bardic cio (delicious), Scamerita stew in red wine with onion and aromatic herbs, Chicken tagliata with honeyed chestnuts on a leek cream (rather pleasant), a few fries, and a slice of delicately flavored apple pie. Two glasses of Prosecco, mineral water, bread, and coffee. No-frills table, brisk service, sometimes noisy when crowded, regulars, families, a few foreigners, but not only attracted by word of mouth or good reviews. Fair prices (a Florentine steak, for example, is priced at €45/kg, compared to a low of €60 and a high of €140 in nearby Florence). A stable, go-to place, and for us, a place with easy digestion, which is no small feat. See you next time.

Excellent, home-style food with traditional flavors. Fairly priced.

We were here today for the first time celebrating our aunt IOLANDA. I would say that we had a great time and ate really well. We will definitely be back...

It's beautiful!! The food is divine, everyone is so kind...a real treat for anyone who wants to eat well and without too much fuss!!

Beautiful place at the bar amazing special staff fabulous food you have to come and eat it is special

Excellent restaurant. Typical Tuscan dishes, excellent quality, friendly service, and reasonable prices.

Typical local restaurant. Nice atmosphere and good quality. Beautiful countryside nearby. I'll definitely be back.

About a 40-minute drive from Florence, via Bagno a Ripoli, San Donato in Collina, Torri di Rignano sull'Arno. Beautiful countryside, still summery sunshine, magnificent light, hills covered in olive groves, vineyards laden with grapes ready for an exceptional vintage, clear roads, relaxing views. Pampurio is essentially a grocery store, but also a trattoria-restaurant open for lunch. Closed on Tuesdays. Tuscan cuisine, with some pleasant variations, well-presented menu. Prices are more than reasonable (the steak, for example, is €40/kg), the atmosphere is usually crowded, perhaps not a declaration of love (but that's not necessarily the case); fast service, half portions are available (full portions are more than generous). Easy-to-digest food (a not insignificant plus), and allergy-friendly (please declare). Reservations are recommended on Saturdays and Sundays. --- If you want to take some time to digest, and if it's a Saturday with no traffic, head towards Troghi and Figline Valdarno, returning to Florence via San Polo in Chianti or Greve. A relaxing drive through green villages and towns, perhaps even stopping for a stroll in search of porcini mushrooms, up towards the first chestnut woods—350 meters above sea level—now, as they say in the local dialect, the "second batch" should already be underway even at these latitudes (to enjoy the view of the cyclamen, however, you'll have to wait a little longer). NB: The photo of the porcini mushrooms shown here is indicative: these were found by my friend Sergio, an 85-year-old mushroom hunter from Upper Lake Como, in the Pianello area and the surrounding mountains.

Very friendly welcome, good service, nice ambience, excellent food, we felt very comfortable
