Papaveri e Papere
Papaveri e Papere, an intimate restaurant in the green Tuscan countryside, is the brainchild of a collaboration between friends, two entrepreneurs and a restaurateur, back in 2009. Created with the aim of achieving the right balance between Tuscan traditions and contemporary innovation, the restaurant conducts constant research in the kitchen. The staff treats each ingredient with respect and attention applying contemporary cooking techniques to the typical ingredients that can be found in Tuscan cuisine.
Restaurant’s décor, in keeping with this culinary philosophy, creates a both warm, yet, modern atmosphere. In Summer, it is possible to eat outside on the veranda, immersed in the green hills of the Valdegola valley, home of the famous white truffle of San Miniato.
The menu is full of dishes that combine traditional Tuscan staples, (carefully selected local meats, farm fresh vegetable crudités, and freshly caught fish), with an innovative and original approach to their preparation and presentation. For each season the Chef creates a special menu that revolves around enhancing the genuine flavours and ingredients peculiar to that season. Each dish is then paired with a specially selected wine from Papaveri e Papere wine cellar.

When the occasion to create dishes that exalt combinations of local ingredients with more exotic flavours, he seizes it.

In the kitchen, in the dinning room, as well as in life, we try to ensure that technology and new ideas, blend happily with local beloved traditions.
