A perfect balance between tradition and research of quality typical products is the basis of the dishes served at Restaurant La Bucaccia, in Cortona. Our cuisine is inspired by the territory and the farm-to-table philosophy, which means having genuine and seasonal ingredients. Romano Magi, owner of the restaurant, personally selects all the ingredients that are used to prepare the dishes served to his clients.
From the best producers of ancient grains in Valdichiana and Valdorcia for the selection of the best flours to the choice of eggs to make fresh pasta and high-quality meat, Romano carefully assesses each product in full respect of tradition. « My secret – reveals the restaurateur - is maintaining a genuine and simple cuisine.

Our meat, in particular, thanks to an accurate selection of cuts and perfect cooking, is always soft, succulent, tasty and easy to digest. It is the queen of our cuisine and, apart from being grilled, it is delicious if served raw as a tartare. According to this preparation, high-quality meat coming from safe livestock with an along maturation, massaged and knife cut.
