The story
A Casa Nostra anchors a quiet spot in Pistoia, blending a deep love for the land with a straightforward approach to country cooking. The kitchen relies on excellent organic ingredients harvested directly from their own fields, ensuring that every plate reflects the authenticity of the region. This dedication to self-sufficiency allows the team to serve dishes that remain true to local roots while providing generous portions to all guests.
Visitors often seek out the robust flavors found on the menu, starting with staples like Tuscan raw ham paired with creamy stracchino and crispy fried coccole. The pasta course frequently features pici cacio e pepe, a comforting choice that highlights the enduring charm of authentic country cooking. For a heavier option, the grilled Tomahawk of Tuscan pork stands as a centerpiece, celebrated for its size and the quality of the meat sourced locally.
The dining experience concludes with a dessert that captures the essence of local winemaking, featuring a mascarpone cream enriched with Vin Santo and topped with crumbled homemade almond cantucci. Beyond the food, the establishment prides itself on a familial welcome that makes everyone feel at ease, whether they are seated indoors or enjoying the outdoor terrace. This inviting spirit complements the recognition earned through awards like the Faccino Contento + from ilGolosario, which celebrates the success of their dedicated country cooking alongside genuine hospitality.
