The Baracchina
is a typical Tuscan countryside “trattoria”,
where simplicity combines with genuineness.Born
in the 60ies as a shack where, on weekends, people from Florence would go for picnics,
it slowly evolved into what it is now, a trattoria
with an easy and informal atmosphere.
The Baracchina
is suggestive and cozy in winter, with its small lounge heated by fireplace and wood
stoves, and striking
in summer, when meals can be taken in the refreshing shade of secular oaks and cypresses.
The owner likes to recall how thirty or more years ago Angiolino
used to barbecue huge steaks while his sister cooked penne strascicate and beans the Tuscan way.
A short waiter served the dishes
and, during the pods season, yelled not to throw the hulls to the ground.
The management changed several
times, with more or less success, until the Baracchina
nearly closed down in the years spanning the two centuries. But the place
is cozy and it has what it takes, so why not resume the principles of the
early years, which were simplicity and genuineness, combined with a fair
price and a professional and skilled management.
This is the new/old Baracchina, a “substancial” trattoria, the ideal place for those who wish to eat
well, no frills at an honest price. Perfect for an informal dinner as well
as for the Sunday lunch, and for business or tourist luncheons. You will
also find a suggestive glass veranda
surrounded by huge trees, especially suited for banquets like communions, business meals,
birthdays and so on.
We are open for lunch and dinner all days
except on Monday. This Winter, 2010, we close for holidays from 11th
January until 1st February.
