Local dishes from Scandicci's culinary heritage, prepared at your home

The culinary identity of Scandicci is shaped by traditional Tuscan farm-to-table traditions passed down through generations. Tuscany's rolling hills produce some of the world's finest olive oil, aged Pecorino cheeses, and heritage-breed meats. The terroir changes dramatically from the Chianti hills to the Maremma coast, giving each area its own distinct flavors. When your private chef arrives at your accommodation near Scandicci, they bring the best of this heritage: Chianina beef, Pecorino di Pienza, and white truffles from San Miniato, transformed into dishes such as pappa al pomodoro and pici all'aglione. Every ingredient tells the story of Tuscany's terroir.

Rave reviews from Scandicci

Sebastian D.

★ 5.0/5

"We booked the full-day experience — market visit in the morning, cooking session at lunch, and a five-course dinner in the evening. By the end of the day, we felt like we'd lived a month in Italy. The chef was patient, funny, and unbelievably talented. The burrata we bought at the market that morning showed up in the most gorgeous salad at dinner."

★ 5.0/5

"A celebration of the sea. Starting with raw red prawns from Mazara del Vallo, moving through a delicate fish soup, then spaghetti with sea urchin, and finishing with whole grilled spigola. Each course tasted of the Mediterranean, clean and bright."

★ 4.5/5

"Our mountain villa near Cortina was the perfect backdrop for the chef's Alpine-inspired menu. He prepared speck crostini, a warming barley and speck soup, venison medallions with juniper berry sauce, and a strudel with vanilla cream that was absolute perfection. Eating by the fireplace after a day of skiing — there is no better way to end a winter evening in Italy."
