Greve in Chianti is a picturesque town, about 30 minutes from Florence, that is the center of a farming community with many vineyards
Tuscany looks picturesque. It's stunning. Let's remember that it is the result of the hard work of its famers. The beautiful landscapes you see while passing through were shaped by farming families over many generations.
As you can imagine, Greve provides an enormous amount to eat and drink and it is all wonderful. Tuscany is known for steaks served with olive oil. Go to the main square of Greve; you'll know it because there is a statue of Verrazano in the center. (Yep, that Verrazano. The Verrazano Bridge Verrazano).
As an aside, when Verazano first saw Cape Cod, he wanted to call it Palavacino which I wish he had. If Cape Cod were called Palavacino, I am certain that the restaurants there would be so much better.
In addition to Chianti, you’ll find excellent examples of cheese and prosciutto. And of course olive oil.

Read moreAt Caffè Le Logge Ristorante Pizzeria, my experience with their Spaghetti Bolognese (or Spaghetti al Ragu) was transformative. They expertly crafted the pasta to an al dente perfection that elevated the dish to new heights. Each bite of the rich ragu sauce paired impeccably with the perfectly cooked spaghetti, leaving a lasting impression.
The pizza was equally impressive, particularly the crust which I found irresistible. Its crisp exterior and tender interior provided the ideal foundation for their fresh and flavorful toppings. Overall, Caffè Le Logge has redefined my expectations of Italian cuisine, showcasing a mastery of flavors and textures that left me...
