In the place where an oil mill once stood, a tavern has been created whose premises, "which once housed machinery and cereals and were also simple and rough dwellings, now live without their original structures having been damaged, trying to respect that An air of simplicity and history that make the place full of charm ”.
At the Osteria di Starda you can taste all the "typical" dishes of Tuscan cuisine offered with a touch of creativity that make them unique and much appreciated, such as Peposo, one of the most popular dishes, a stew made with beef mousse cook with pepper and Chianti wine which in ancient times fed the workers who worked in the construction sites of Brunelleschi's Dome and other historic Florentine buildings.
