Podere Giglio

Michelin

A classic nineteenth-century farmhouse set in the tranquil countryside at the gates of Empoli, this establishment preserves its original rural charm, enhanced by a restrained and meticulous restoration that brings out the simple yet welcoming interiors. The kitchen is entrusted to Marco Bagordo, a young chef of solid experience and interpreter of a contemporary Tuscany that marries precise technique, balanced flavours and measured presentations, always mindful not to sacrifice substance to aesthetics. The excellence of the dishes springs from the selection of local and seasonal ingredients, worked in such a way as to preserve their aromas and qualities. Among the more compelling offerings stands I 5 voli del piccione (The 5 Flights of the Pigeon), a refined variation that explores every part of the bird. The wine list, essential yet well-focused on the territory, is completed by labels produced on the estate, including a house red and the notable extra virgin olive oil.
