Great Menus we enjoyed in Tuscany

At the Cacciamico agriturismo:

Young rosso vino from grapes of the farm
Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes & aged pecorino
Zuppa di funghi (with local wild mushrooms)
This was the best ever mushroom soup we have ever had in our lives!
Selection of grilled meats:
Cinghiale ribs (wild boar,) hand-made sausage, chicken, Chianina beef strips
Insalata of greens from the farm (radicchio, escarole, etc)
Crostata with blackberries (frutta del bosco)

At the restaurant in Spilamberto:

Gnocco fritto- fried bread in 2 thin layers, puffed like a pillow. Delicious!
Tortellini in brodo
Vino Lambrusco
Gran Bollito misto- mix of boiled meats including pork leg (cotechino/zampone) & beef tongueb
Very very delicious!
Mashed potatoes & oven fried potatoes
Insalata
Various cookies and coffee
