ristorazione — Vicchio · Toscana
In the Mugello countryside sloping gently down toward the Sieve valley, in the hamlet of Gracchia between Borgo San Lorenzo and Vicchio, Mattagnano keeps alive a cuisine that still tastes of Sunday lunch with the family: hand-rolled pasta, meats grilled over embers, and a wood-fired oven that never goes cold.
Cross the threshold and it's clear at once that nothing here is anonymous: the place is family-run in the most literal sense, with staff who know their regulars and a dining-room rhythm that puts you instantly at ease. The setting includes a cosy indoor room and a large outdoor veranda, open during the warmer months.
At the heart of the menu are tortelli di patate (potato-filled pasta parcels), handmade with a thick pasta shell and a generous filling, served with a meat, duck, or mushroom sauce. It's the dish regulars keep coming back for: a texture and flavour that, as many put it, bring back the taste of home cooking.
The wood-fired oven is Mattagnano's other heart: the pizza comes out thin and well baked, made with a dough of fresh ingredients designed to be easy on the stomach. The menu features toppings such as porcini, truffle, crudo (cured raw ham) and burrata — pairings that speak of the Mugello territory just as much as the tortelli and the mixed grilled meats.
