The wait is almost over!
On March 7, 2025, Castello di Gargonza will reopen its doors, guiding you through winter into the new season.

Along with the castle, the restaurant La Torre di Gargonza will also reopen, offering you a culinary experience that will transport you to the heart of Tuscan gastronomic tradition. Located in the picturesque medieval village of Gargonza, near Monte San Savino, this restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy authentic dishes in a unique atmosphere.

The Tuscan culinary tradition

Tuscan cuisine is renowned worldwide for its simple yet bold flavors, thanks to the use of top-quality ingredients and a tradition passed down through generations. Extra virgin olive oil, fresh vegetables, locally raised meats, and fine wines are the secrets to a cuisine that captivates from the first bite. Among the most famous delicacies are ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, bistecca alla fiorentina, and pici all’aglione. These dishes tell the story and culture of this stunning region.

The restaurant La Torre di Gargonza

To connect with and experience the region’s food culture, La Torre di Gargonza is undoubtedly an ideal choice. It is steeped in history, housed in what was once the agricultural machinery storage and carpentry workshop of the village. Fully renovated in 2007, it now offers an extraordinary dining experience.

The restaurant features a panoramic dining room with large windows overlooking the surrounding forest and a pasta-making workshop where fresh, homemade pasta is prepared daily. The indoor dining area accommodates 50 to 65 guests, while the panoramic hall is perfect for larger events, with a capacity of up to 190 seats. During the warmer months, meals can be enjoyed in the charming outdoor courtyard, allowing diners to soak in the magical atmosphere of the medieval village.

The menu

La Torre di Gargonza continues to delight guests with traditional Tuscan dishes made using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Here’s what makes the restaurant truly special:

• A small garden: The restaurant complements its regular supply of ingredients with homegrown produce, ensuring dishes are always fresh and seasonal.
• Homemade fresh pasta: Prepared daily following traditional recipes, the pasta-making workshop fills the restaurant with the inviting aroma of freshly mixed dough. Signature dishes include Pici cacio e pepe, Pappardelle al sugo di cinghiale, or the unique Tagliolini ai mirtilli su fonduta di formaggio erborinato e crumble di nocciole for those seeking innovative flavors.
• Locally raised meats: Grilled to perfection, the meats highlight their natural flavors. Try the Tagliata di manzo, Suprema di faraona fasciata al lardo, or the iconic Bistecca alla fiorentina, all carefully selected for their quality.
• Carefully selected wines: The wine list features excellent options from Tuscany, including labels from the Strade del Vino di Arezzo, Chianti Classico, Montalcino, and Montepulciano, along with a selection of non-Tuscan producers.
• Celiac-friendly dining: Since 2008, the restaurant has been part of the Alimentazione Fuori Casa project by the Italian Celiac Association. Bread, focaccia, and gluten-free pasta are made in-house by chefs trained to accommodate dietary needs, ensuring a safe and inclusive experience for all.
