La Rocca di Castelfalfi
Where history and modernity come together
In the village of Castelfalfi, inside the medieval castle walls, Chef Davide De Simone offers a culinary experience like no other, a journey that begins in the Mediterranean and arrives in the heart of Tuscany.
La Rocca is an exclusive restaurant where the thousand-year history of the castle itself meets the contemporary style of the dishes offered on the two tasting menus.
An enchanted location that is truly one of a kind, surrounded by the stunning Tuscan countryside.
Fall in love with the elegant flavors proposed by our Chef, created to make every dinner an unforgettable experience.
The restaurant is open from Friday to Tuesday, from 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm (last seating at 8:45 pm).
The restaurant will be closed from December 25th to January 9th.
The philosophy
Davide De Simone, originally from Sicily, started out on his career in the world of haute cuisine working in some of London’s most exclusive restaurants. Here, influenced by different gastronomic cultures, he began to experiment with his own versions of the flavours and aromas he grew up with, creating surprising, innovative combinations with premium ingredients.
At La Rocca di Castelfalfi, Chef De Simone presents two tasting menus that reflect
his personal and professional journey. "Beyond the Borders" is a journey through Italian and international flavors inspired by the gifts of autumn, while "Falling leaves" is his vegetarian proposal that celebrates the colors of autumn and the nature of his present, that of Castelfalfi.
His philosophy is based on two fundamental principles: freshness and seasonality.
The products he uses are wholesome, zero km where possible, and they come from the estate or from local farms committed to careful, sustainable production.
