Available for hire
"Via Diacceto is a quiet side street just off San Gimignano’s main road. This is where you’ll find La Mandragola, an excellent restaurant built inside someone’s old home where you can treat yourself to a creative Tuscan meal.
La Mandragola isn’t afraid to dare, for example including many sweet notes in dishes that, conventionally, wouldn’t include them, for example adding salted butter gelato or caramel to onion pie.
Please note that their menu changes with the seasons but, if available when you go, some of the dishes I’d recommend are:
- vinsanto duck pate with toasted brioche,
- "gnudi", ricotta and spinach balls, with pumpkin cream,
- thick and deliciously chewy "pici" pasta with broccoli,
- crispy suckling pig.
If it’s a nice day, make sure to book a table outside so you can take in the view of San Gimignano’s world-famous towers.
Bookings advised."
