ristorazione — Marradi · Toscana
Amid the chestnut groves and woods of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, in the locality of Figacciolo above Marradi, Il Casolare is a family-run restaurant that carries forward a cuisine of the border: where Tuscany and Romagna meet each day around the same table, through local ingredients and artisan techniques handed down with care.
Il Casolare is the home of Carlo and Elisabetta and their children: a farmhouse in the Florentine Apennines where the family-run spirit is felt from the threshold. The modern building looks out over the valley, with a welcome that guests describe as warm and attentive. Fields, woods and chestnut groves surround the restaurant, and unspoiled nature is part of the welcome from the moment of arrival.
The dining room looks out over the valley below, with a view that guests describe as relaxing and an integral part of the meal. The setting is well kept and clean: the windows let in light that changes with the seasons of the Apennines, from the green chestnut groves of summer to the autumn mist rising from the valley floor, while the staff welcome guests with discretion and genuine warmth.
In the kitchen, every day, the pasta is rolled out by hand: it is the gesture that comes up most often in the words of Il Casolare's guests, and it defines the character of the restaurant. From tagliolini with buckwheat flour and prugnolo mushrooms to fagottini rosa (pink pasta parcels) with robiola cheese and speck — a house specialty particularly well loved — Tuscan-Romagna tradition is expressed through quality ingredients selected from the surrounding territory.
Every dish at Il Casolare tells of a precise territory, with its ingredients and its seasons: discover the full menu and book your table.
