The story
Since 2017, Il Pievano has held a Michelin star, a recognition that speaks to its refined approach to Country Cooking and Modern Cuisine. Located within the Castello di Spaltenna, a historic Tuscan resort, the restaurant opens only for dinner, offering an experience that feels both intimate and elevated. Here, the chefs respect the rhythm of the seasons, letting local ingredients shine, while adding touches of originality that never overshadow their source.
The menu is described as a sensory journey, one that “caresses body and spirit.” Guests can expect genuine flavours and exceptional pairings, with a word that defines the spirit of the place: raffinatezza (refinement). The wine list is particularly interesting, befitting a restaurant set in the Chianti Classico region.
Il Pievano is a place where tradition and creativity meet, making it a destination worth a stay in Gaiole in Chianti. Whether dining on the outdoor terrace or inside the elegant dining room, the atmosphere is warm and sophisticated. The emphasis is on sharing an experience where every dish feels intentional. Private parties and celebrations are also welcome, adding to the restaurant's versatility.
