Opened by Luciano and Manuela Bracali in 1983, it is now run
by the Bracali brothers Francesco and Luca.
The restaurant is located in the hamlet of Ghirlanda, just
outside Massa Marittima, about 50km north of Grosseto in the heart of the
Colline Metallifere (Italian: [kolˈliːne metalˈliːfere], “Metal-bearing
Hills”).
Francesco’s cuisine – based on concepts such as lightness,
appeal and balance – is for many fans (just to quote one of them): “For him,
the ideal line to connect two points is not the straight one but the doodle. He
can obviously make simple things – or things that appear to be simple – but it
is clear that he is most motivated by elaborated dishes, those built by playing
on many ingredients.”
Luca, Francesco’s brother, takes care of the restaurant wine
cellar and of the hospitality, always keeping in mind that the Restaurant is a
place of wellness where the guest must be at the center of everything.
THE CUISINE
Francesco Bracali’s real creative world is the Cuisine. This
introverted character must thank his brother and family as well as his only
desire to pursue a passion consistently and with determination and desire to
learn more and more, transforming then his experience over time in precision,
self-confidence and attention to the matter and details.
Grown up in the Maremma, Francesco is very tied to the
tastes of his homeland. However, he always tries to reinterpret tradition with
a constantly evolving original style.
“It’s hard to describe my creativity, but when I put one of
my dishes in front of you all makes sense. Some of my dishes were born
spontaneously, others took a longer time, but I am more and more interested in
the journey; it’s necessary to go on to obtain something. I have always been
curious and have always listened to what people had to say.”
The restaurant is
closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Open other days for
lunch, dinner and holiday eves.
