The partner's word

Il Mecenate is a Tuscan osteria founded in 1996 in the countryside of Gattaiola, relocated in 2012 to a city venue on the Fosso di Lucca. It focuses on "acoustic cuisine," a straightforward culinary style centered on natural, locally sourced ingredients from shepherds, winemakers, and fishermen. The kitchen highlights simplicity and authenticity under cook Sole, who has led the restaurant for 25 years, emphasizing regional tradition without theatrics. The menu honors Tuscan terroir and heritage with dishes like homemade Tordelli Lucchesi, Bistecca alla Fiorentina from Il Castello, local rabbit with cannellini beans, tortellini in meat broth, chestnut flour crepes with local cheese, and ravioli with rare Lucchesia beans. Supporting local artisans, Il Mecenate integrates personal and regional stories into its cuisine. The dining space combines rustic indoor seating with a summer veranda overlooking Piazza San Francesco, offering a cozy and convivial atmosphere. Its wine list includes around 300 labels, featuring rare, organic, biodynamic, and international wines. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide for its dedication to Tuscan terroir cuisine.
