A couple of weeks ago we booked an outside table at I Girasoli di Sant’Andrea, the restaurant at the front of our local winery in the Niccone Valley.
Artichoke starter at I Girasoli di Sant’Andrea
The weather was perfect and the food delicious, a starter of artichokes cooked in three different ways, delicious fresh pasta and a chiannina steak served with greens and oven roasted potatoes, all washed down with a bottle of the vineyard’s Malvasia Nera.
Chicken cooked in a Mediterranean sauce
It was so good that I’m already looking forward to eating there again.
