| the History |
 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 |
