Our opinion
If you're looking for a table that elevates Tuscan cuisine without distorting it, Da Caino, in Montemerano, is an address worth knowing. It's not a simple village trattoria, but a two-Michelin-star restaurant, led by chef Valeria Piccini, who has managed to keep her feet in the Maremma while aiming for excellence. A true gastronomic destination, not a tourist trap.
Here, Tuscan cuisine reigns supreme, but with a finesse and refinement that set it apart. The house is known for showcasing the rich flavors of the Maremma. You'll find dishes like "Una passeggiata in maremma", which promises an exploration of local products. The chef also revisits classics with a personal touch, like the "Trippa di angela (1971)" or the "panino al lampredotto (1999)", nods to deeply rooted traditions.
The setting reflects the village: intimate and discreet. The restaurant is tucked away in a pedestrian alley of Montemerano, a small medieval town. Expect a rustic and authentic atmosphere, far from flashy pomp. The focus is on the plate and the service, deemed impeccable and of the highest standard by guests. It's an experience where the quality of the cuisine takes precedence over decorum.
Why choose Da Caino? Because you'll find very high-quality Tuscan cuisine there, awarded two Michelin stars, which never betrays its Maremma origins. It's a table where one comes for a serious gastronomic experience, where every dish is designed to honor the terroir with creativity. If you want to understand what the Maremma has best to offer, without compromise or unnecessary frills, this is where it happens.
