Ristorante Oliviera: Relais La Suvera Tuscan Cuisine

Located in an old mill that was once an 18th-century olive press, Ristorante Oliviera serves fine Tuscan cuisine featuring produce and wine from the estate. Authentic flavours and fragrances exhilarate the senses, complimented by an excellent wine list of prestigious Tuscan reds and whites. The cosy dining room with a wood burning fireplace, Egyptian murals, fine paintings and olive press machinery, is warm and inviting during the winter, while in the warm summer months guests can enjoy a candlelit dinner under the stars on the beautiful terrace overlooking the Papal Villa, surrounded by fragrant flowers, herbs and citrus of the Lemon Gardens. Chef Giovanni D'Ecclesiis' sophisticated menu with authentic Sienese flavours from traditional Tuscan recipes, is constantly evolving in harmony with seasonal ingredients while also offering vegetarian versions of each course. The restaurant is also laid out each morning with a magnificent buffet breakfast of tempting home-made cakes and pastries, organic jams and marmalades, seasonal fruit, local cold meats, salami and selection of egg dishes. The more informal Bar dei Limoni is a lovely spot to enjoy a light lunch under the shadow of lemons and limes on the terrace beside the pool, where guests can enjoy a delicious glass of wine or aperitif, while taking in the magnificent views over the Tuscan hillside in the warm golden hues of the sunset.
