Gallo Nero in Greve en Chianti
I mentioned this place last night, and indeed I was lucky enough to eat there two nights in a row. They are just fabulous! It's a family-run place presided over by Nanna in the kitchen. She apparently does all the cooking and believe me, it's amazing. The sweet and always smiling grandchildren serve. Tonight we had wild boar tagliatelle, gnocchi verde (spinach and lemon potato/flour dumplings in a creamy sauce, fillet of beef cooked over a wood fire with spinach and grapes, plus a rich brown sauce over all, and panna cotta with caramel (Dawn) or chocolate (Diane). And the ever-popular house wine which comes in bottles. I tried to remember to take pictures before diving in, but as you will see I was a bit blinded by the food excellence.
