Tuscan food, just inland
On the Etruscan Coast you'll find mostly fish. But if you're looking for where to eat real Tuscan food of the land — game, fresh pasta, meat over the embers — you only need to climb a few minutes into the hills. Osteria del Cinghiale is in Riparbella, at Località Il Giardino 44, just 2 km from Cecina and centrally placed between Bolgheri, the Val di Cecina and the coast at Vada and Rosignano. An osteria that has stayed faithful to tradition: pappardelle with wild boar, Florentine steak, peposo, vegetarian dishes. Free parking, garden outside. You eat the way people used to — with what the Tuscan land offers, season by season.
From the menu
Fresh egg pasta dressed with a slow-cooked wild boar ragù, red wine and woodland spices. The osteria's signature dish — the one worth the drive.
Wild boar marinated and braised slowly with black olives, tomato and aromatic herbs. The recipe of Tuscan tradition, made the way it was in the old Maremma farms.
Steak grilled over embers, only selected cuts. The queen of Tuscan cooking, for those who prefer the grill to game. And for everyone else: burrata ravioli, peposo, vegetarian dishes.
