Il Cavaliere di Gabbiano
Castello di Gabbiano's restaurant serves chef Giacomo Bussotti's inventive Tuscan cooking in a beamed country dining room and garden terrace, with four and six course tasting paths paired to the castle's wines.
Il Cavaliere sits within the Castello di Gabbiano estate near Mercatale Val di Pesa, a stone building with a beamed dining room and a garden terrace shaded by umbrellas and greenery. Chef Giacomo Bussotti promises an authentic cuisine full of Tuscanity, sourced from Chianti farms and local suppliers, then takes it somewhere playful: cold ramen with tongue, spaghettone with coffee and citrus, pigeon with miso. Order a la carte or commit to the four or six course tasting path with matched glasses. The castle's own Chianti Classico is the natural pour, and larger tables are steered toward one shared tasting menu.
