I Due Cippi dal 1976

Fire, stone, and a Maremma grill

I Due Cippi dal 1976 sits on Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Saturnia, a family dining room that has been a Maremma reference point since the 1970s. The rooms are wide and elegant, warmed by the fireplaces that dominate the space, with exposed beams and a restored brick vault. A brazier and chef in view set the pace: Lorenzo Aniello treats the grill as a ritual, from choosing cuts to tending the fire.

Chianina, wagyu, and game

Aged meat is cooked beside a crackling fireplace. Chianina takes center stage, with wagyu from leading regions and sustainable farms and a menu that also extends to game. The kitchen joins typical Maremma and Tuscan dishes with more contemporary plates, following the seasons and putting local produce first rather than a fixed list of named signatures.

The room and the wine

Alessandro meets guests each evening and guides pairings from more than a thousand Italian and international labels, growing out of the family’s small enoteca. Service is family-run, attentive, and unobtrusive. In the warmer months there is outdoor seating and a terrace on the piazza. Pets are allowed throughout, and tables are booked directly with the restaurant.
