Excellent dishes accompanied by excellent food fresh and quality , well arranged old room very beautiful

In the prestigious Fattoria Medicea, in the outskirts of Monsummano Terme, there is this restaurant, open to the public and at the service of the Hotel you see review . Location for parties, weddings meeting, this beautiful room made on the ground floor by the wise refurbishment of the whole house, from the high ceiling, from the internal pillars that do not harm the harmony of the place, has several tables, from the simple and pleasant preparation. Content menu, three starters, four first and as many seconds, plus some sweets and fruit. Meat and fish. Bread basket with Tuscan bread and a savoured Tuscan focaccia. Wine paper contained. From bubbles to wine from meditation, with a strong Tuscan characterization red and 'only Tuscan . We took a glass of DOCG production chianti of the Fartoria; while the prices are on average, the price of the glass is excessive. The service is a little lazy. At the request of what is the appetizer for two locals, it is rudely presented as cheeses and local meats according to the one available to the chef! We take an appetizer of gorgonzola cheese, grana and two Tuscan pecorinos with jams and a tuna carpaccio with a pre-packed slices view. Let's skip the first and second we take a discreet fillet of Siena Cinta with little or little tasty black truffle and an orata fillet with surprise in addition to the expected vegetables: a mazzancola, shrimp and a cuttlefish! . Of sweet a chocolate cake with strawberry jam and a tiramisu ' where the little pastafrollla! was lost in a good but too abundant cream. Salad unbeatable coffee, perhaps the cleaning work of the machine had not been followed by the necessary production of coffee to throw. What we ate, except for drinking coffee, discreet or good quality. But the disappointment has the upper hand, compared to the expectations of the place. The price is not deserved for the menu. Maybe there is too much tranquility given by the greater presence of foreigners! At 9.30 p.m., close the kitchen!
