The dishes prepared at "Il Portico" come from family traditions or from recipes passed on from local neighbours.

The recipes are mainly always adapted to the times, tortellini with squash are served with less butter and less Parmesan cheese, so that one appreciates the full flavour of the ingredients which remain clear and true.

The Maremmana Florentine steak prepared and grilled with delicate aromas keep there original taste and flavour.

It is important to respect the flavour of the prime product when making a dish.

Above all in the last few years the Grossi family acclaims that it is important to reach a synthesis of the cuisine: to maintain the principle characteristics and at the same time make the dish light: for this reason one must always use high quality products.

Il Portico" is renowned for its prestigious wine cellar with over 400 national and international types of wine.

What stands out is the combination and the care which the owners give to the quality and refinedness of the dishes with the "nettare di Bacco" (Bacco's nectar), together with the help of expert wine tasters (somelier) of well known wine cellars, the best in Italy, with whom they have worked together for some time now.

It is important to mention the "Dievole Farm" for its famous Chianti wine and the Castellobanfi of Montalcino for its Brunello wine.
