Sapori di Toscana In Empoli

07/01/2025: The beauty of this tavern is the variety of dishes. Different side dishes compared to the area and an impressive variety of meat. Unfortunately, not eating red meat, we opted for rabbit and cockerel, both too dry, especially the rabbit. The side dishes/second courses are very tasty. We had fried porcini mushrooms and fried sage, both of which I have never eaten fried. The first ones are good but after a while they get boring, I imagine due to the difference in consistency. Sage, I loved it. Finally, a portion of roast potatoes, nothing special. They use a very good local oil. We appreciated it so much. The prices are not typical of a tavern, a little high. Pleasant service. An extremely nice and capable lady served us. The atmosphere is rustic but not too much. In my opinion it would be better to remove the neon lights and use warmer lights. Review made after 3 months: I stayed at this restaurant again because I wanted to give it a second chance. I liked it even more. Now the porcini mushrooms are in season, I found them perfect. They were delicious, very fresh. In fact, I then had a pumpkin soup with porcini mushrooms, simple as I like it, tasty and excellent. Courgette flan with parmesan fondue, delicate and very good. Good desserts. The chocolate cake with pears was very good, but you couldn't taste the rum and the crème anglaise needs improvement. Pistachio cream good, but really too sweet, it tastes a lot like white chocolate. I will go back again and again and again 😉
