The restaurant La Brilla is located on the ground floor of the main building,
and it is also a wine and oil bar. In front of the crackling fireplace in
the old kitchen during winter, or in the shadow of the great plane trees in
the garden during summer, you can enjoy new and old dishes of the traditional
Tuscan cuisine. You can choose from a list of 250 wine labels and sense the
difference between oils from different regions of Italy.
The restaurant was established thanks to the great passion of the owners for
simple cuisine, made with finest-quality ingredients, choosing aromas and
flavours which sometimes we forget about. Gabriele Giovannelli is the talented
young chef, who takes the basics of traditional cooking from his father. He
succeeded in rendering the spirit of the place, changing the menus according
to the seasons and the market availability. Vittorio is the qualified and
attentive manager of the restaurant, who transmits to the guests his own passion
for the magical combination of food with wine and oil, reminding everybody
of the joy of sharing a meal. A dinner at La Brilla is surely one more reason
to stay at Villa La Bianca.
