Lucarelli · Radda in Chianti
Remote rustic trattoria
Worth seeking out. Set in a converted farmhouse on a minor road between Radda and Panzano, Le Panzanelle rewards those who find it with one of the most honest meals in Chianti, and the MICHELIN Guide lists it with a Bib Gourmand.
The pappardelle with hare is legendary; the panzanella bread salad is made properly, in season. The terrace in summer, under the pergola, is a perfect place to eat for two hours.
Village bar & lunch spot
The only bar in the tiny fortified hamlet of Volpaia — itself one of the most beautiful villages in the Chianti zone. Bar Ucci doubles as a lunch spot serving simple plates: bruschetta, panzanella, cold meats, cheese and soups.
