The "Borgo Antico" inn is part of the tiny hamlet of Dimezzano - a handful of houses hidden away amongst the chestnut woods that surround the village of Lucolena (10km from the town of Greve in Chianti) in the central Florentine Chianti area. Stefano and Patrizia are ready to welcome you to their restaurant in this old farmhouse where you can sample genuine cuisine or spend a few peaceful and revitalising days away from it all in their guestrooms.
In this area of great natural beauty there are many opportunities to visit historic hamlets or explore centuries-old woodlands.
This restaurant in the country is a dream come true for Patrizia and Stefano after years of office work in the city! Stefano was an accountant for a large firm, who also worked as a waiter in a restaurant at weekends. Patrizia was employed in an office where she spent many a moment scouring the small ads in search of her dream restaurant, which she eventually found back in 1993. Without a moments hesitation the couple left their old life in the city behind and set about resuscitating the "Locanda Borgo Antico" making it one of the most sought after locations for lovers of traditional Tuscan cooking. Here you can eat in complete peace and quiet and even relax after a delicious lunch in one of three cosy guestrooms.
Stefano and Patrizia have such a passion for their work that you are immediately struck by their warmth and friendliness and the familiar atmosphere of the place - something rare in this day and age.
Borgo Antico has been mentioned in many newspaper and magazine articles and figures in all the main tourist and gastronomic guides. It is a typical Tuscan restaurant with terracotta floors, wrought iron wine cellars and simple decorations. Up to 60 people can be accommodated inside and double that in the summer when it is possible to have a table outside on the terrace in the shade of the ancient ivy pergola looking out over the beautiful Chianti countryside. Throughout the summer months live music is put on in the evenings on the adjacent terrace where there is also a separate bar. Everyone is welcome to come along, have adrink and enjoy! There is disabled access throughout the premises and a large car park.
Our kitchen offers authentic, carefully prepared country flavours garnished only with extra virgin olive oil. The secrets of the restaurant's success are Patrizia's speciality home-made pasta and desserts along with the friendly welcome offered to you by Stefano who is always ready with his typical Tuscan humour. Even the liqueur is home made.
AT BORGO ANTICO OVEN CHIPS, LONG LIFE DAIRY PRODUCE AND MASS PRODUCED FOODS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!

Si inizia con gli antipasti, la tradizionale fettunta con o senza lardo, accompagnata da verdure grigliate (peperoni, melanzane, pomodori) conditi solo con olio extravergine di oliva danno vita all'antipasto della casa. Non mancano bruschette al pomodoro, ai fagioli, crostini toscani e crostoni ai porcini, ottimi affettati dell'Antica Macelleria Falorni di Greve oppure prosciuttino d'oca o la porcaloca, da non sottovalutare l'antipasto "un pò di tutto"
I primi piatti variano a seconda della stagione, fermo restando le pietre miliari della cucina di Patrizia…non potete non assaggiare il risotto pere e gorgonzola, noto ormai anche a Londra!
Ottime le pappardelle al cinghiale o all'anatra, tagliatelle ai porcini e al tartufo…
pennette ai fiori di zucca e in autunno da non perdere le pappardelle fatte con farina di castagne al ragù di cinghiale.
Che dire dei secondi piatti….vogliamo iniziare dalla bistecca alla fiorentina? ( di carne chianina). Filetti all'alpina, all'aceto balsamico, al pepe verde al tartufo, arista alla toscana con i fagioli. Le favolose tagliate: alla rucola, al tartufo, ai funghi…….e ancora…..stracotto al chianti, peposo, e su prenotazione trippa alla fiorentina
Si passa al dolce, si può scegliere tra…cheese cake ai frutti di bosco, panna cotta, torta al cioccolato,tiramisù, in estate anche alle fragole, pesche al brachetto o fragole al chianti…o forse preferite del pecorino miele e vin santo?
Certamente si conclude in bellezza…..non potete non assaggiare il favoloso ALLORO! Patrizia ha rispolverato un'antica ricetta di famiglia dando vita ad un gustosissimo digestivo!
La carta dei vini è improntata su vini locali di fattorie di zona; tutti di ottima qualità, dal rosso di Montalcino (vino della casa) al Brunello, al Moscadello di Montalcino autentico nettare ottimo in accompagnamento ai dolci.
Vini solo toscani con ampia scelta sul territorio
Antipasto un po' di tutto Risotto pere e gorgonzola,pappardelle all'anatra o al cinghiale,in inverno pappardelle di farina di castagne al sugo di cinghiale tagliatelle ai funghi o tartufo di stagione e per i secondi bistecca alla fiorentina di chianina e non, ma anche filetti,tegliate,gran fritto toscano,per vegetariani pecorino al forno o scamorza o tegamino, patate fresche fatte al forno agli aromi,fagioli zolfini, pecorino miele e vinsantoe per finire i nostri dolci a sorpresa!!!
