Summer, romance, nature, and gourmet delights

With summer here, the weather is perfect for dining outdoors. I found this hidden gem of a restaurant nestled in the hills of Calenzano, just outside Florence. It features a stunning outdoor garden, and many customers book their tables in advance to enjoy the romantic ambiance. Surprisingly, despite all the greenery, there are hardly any mosquitoes, so you can dine outside without any worries.🍷🍷🍷 The restaurant's decor and lighting are meticulously designed to create a lovely atmosphere that's neither too loud nor too chaotic. The staff are also very professional in their service. The appetizers are quite creative, although the salumi platter was just average. The pasta, however, is delicious and freshly made in the kitchen. For the second course, I tried the duck breast, which had a unique and interesting texture.❤️❤️❤️ The biggest surprise was the dessert menu, which changes daily and offers so many options that you'll be spoilt for choice!💕💕💕 The prices are on the mid-to-high side, but the portions are generous. This place is ideal not only for romantic dates but also for family and friend gatherings. There's also parking available outside the restaurant.😍😍😍 Restaurant: Cocciopesto Address: Via di Travalle, 1, 50041 Calenzano FI #FoodShare #Florence #MyFoodDiary #NatureScenery #DessertDaily #FoodDaily #Prato #PratoCuisine #HiddenGemRestaurant #WhatToEat
