Ristorante Al Pugnalone da Francesco e Mara

Era da molto tempo che volevo conoscere di persona Mara e suo marito Francesco e nonostante il primo giorno di primavera registrava temperature polari ci siamo 200 km facts ... but it was worth it! Mara welcomes us now with his sympathy, showed us around the restaurant is very nice, all-in-stone dates back to 1200, some good times with beautiful, very romantic and warm. We settle, visionamo the menu and we would like to try everything, there are three tasting menus, one of the 32 euro area, and one at 40 "in my hands" on which our choice falls to 45. The menu could be fish or meat, we are asking for a mix and we are not only satisfied, but even pampered chef in the kitchen alone fails to amaze us with two different menu of meat and fish and is a pleasure for us because we can prove flatter. However, we choose a red wine and the advice of our Mara The choice falls on Tizzonero Carraia 2005, very good.
arrives at the table the bread basket, with soft croissants, bread, crushed wheat, focaccia and breadsticks delicious. Francesco
knowing my passion for cheese now takes me in word and begin with

- 2 of vineyard snails wrapped in bacon lying above a spoonful of ricotta, unfortunately snails are among the few things that just have never been able to eat, but my husband really appreciated.

- I am referring to the other dish, very similar to the above, but instead of two snails prawns, raw material excellent, both fish and the delicate ricotta.

-Continue with above flan with crispy artichokes on a bed of melted cheese and chips, the cheese was tasty and quite rightly could not cover any taste.

- Other flan with simple over squids and squid lightly cooked and a sauce (I think honey, but the memory could do tricks), this was the dish that impressed me less, perhaps he felt a bit 'too much egg covering the fish.

- Here comes one of the best dishes dining, foie gras with crushed nuts between two slices of caramelized apple and honey sauce.

- Chianina beef tartare with quail egg and truffle, the triumph of the excellent raw material, although I expected a strong flavor, the dish was very balanced.
come first for me

- crunchy cannoli filled with ricotta, cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella emulsion, fabulous.
- For my husband noodles with mussels and artichokes (the enthusiasm that you forgot to photograph the plate, but not cleaning it and I eat a cannoli!)

- Continue with slices of tuna with pickles and tomatoes, cotta alla perfezione, si scioglieva in bocca. - L'altro secondo è davvero spettacolare: tortino di carne chianina con tartufo sopra un fondo di zuppetta di fagioli del purgatorio.
Chiudiamo con i dolci per me -Tortino di pan di spagna con un velo di crema e fragole, delicato e perfetto come chiusura pasto.

-Per Luca un enorme "cappuccino", un bicchiere con crema al cioccolato fondente, cacao panne e sopra nocciole sbriciolate e cioccolato, davvero un peccato di gola.

Lo chef per la paura che non fossimo abbastanza sazi ci omaggia anche di un bignè caramellato alla crema (se non fossi stata davvero piena gli avrei chiesto una tazza di quella crema God to take home:-D).

'was a very pleasant lunch, the kitchen surprised us, we knew we ate well, but did not think really that good, the chef is very smart and it's amazing she can do everything in the kitchen alone. If you want to spend a pleasant couple of hours put yourself in the hands of Francis and pamper yourself from the liking of Mara ...
