La Dogana Ristoro
Firenzuola
01/08/2026: For those seeking special places, or simply a beautiful diary entry to remember this day,
Spurred on by the overwhelming enthusiasm of a local friend, we went to lunch at La Dogana, a few kilometers from Monghidoro and about twenty minutes from Monzuno (from the Molino del Pero Golf Club). A perfect trio: my daughter, him, and me.
The place immediately had an incredible charm:
Location and view:
It enjoys a spectacular panoramic view of the mountains.
Ambience and attention to detail:
The interior is furnished with imagination, great taste, and a meticulous attention to beauty. If it were in an urban or more touristy setting, it would be perpetually crowded. Discovering it up here, almost isolated, makes the experience even more magical for those who stumble upon it by chance, even just for a drink or coffee.
The welcome:
An almost "Romagna" warmth and hospitality, despite being in the mountains. It's a place you arrive in and simply never want to leave.
The Cuisine and the Tasting Menu
Because it was our first time, we relied entirely on the chef, letting him guide us through a tasting menu:
Raw ingredients and technique: Meticulous attention to detail in ingredients, cooking methods, and presentation.
For curious palates:
It's not a place "for everyone," but for those who appreciate cuisine where the finest ingredients are the protagonist. A first visit should surprise the palate; returning, I'd already be more confident in what to choose or find.
Wine: The Real Star
The real surprise was the wine selection. We drank very well, and a lot. It's often easy to find good food, but it's rare to find such a thoughtful and sophisticated pairing with wine. The selection of bottles ended up being perhaps the real star of the meal.
Final Thoughts
Three very young people who opened a year ago, partnering to take on a courageous challenge in a busy location (with rooms upstairs, too).
In the end, even when the bill arrives and it may seem a bit steep, considering the quality of the food, the ambiance, and especially the drinks, you realize it's all there. You leave behind not just a meal, but the feeling of having had a memorable experience.
A place close to your heart:
It's one of those places you remember forever, where you immediately want to return with the right person or friend, to share and share the same wonder in a completely unexpected setting among these mountains.
28/06/2026: Wonderful dinner, absolutely delicious food, one of the best restaurants I've seen in recent years. I recommend it to everyone.
