Ciccia Ristorante invites food lovers to embark on a culinary journey through the heart of Tuscany with its special Italian Week. This unique celebration showcases the rich flavors, traditions, and heartfelt hospitality of Italian culture. At the center of this experience is the exclusive Tuscany Set Menu, a thoughtful tribute to the region’s culinary heritage, crafted by Ciccia’s head chef, Matteo, a proud native of Lucca, Italy. Chef Matteo said “This menu is a tribute to my roots and a way to share the tastes of my childhood with diners,”.
Ciccia Ristorante Introduces Italian Week
The Tuscany Set Menu, is a carefully curated three-course meal designed to immerse diners in the authentic tastes of the region. The experience begins with Tordelli Lucchesi, a traditional pasta dish from Chef Matteo’s hometown. These delicate pasta pockets are handmade and filled with a savory blend of beef and vegetables, served in a rich beef ragout. The main course, Peposo alla Fornacina, is a dish steeped in history. This Tuscan stew, with its tender slow-cooked beef and bold black pepper flavor, dates back to the Renaissance. Paired with creamy cannellini beans, it embodies the rustic yet refined nature of Tuscan cuisine.
To end the meal, guests are treated to a truly unique dessert, Torta co’ Becchi, a specialty from Lucca. This tart, combining Swiss chard with dried fruits and aromatic spices, surprises and delights with its balanced flavors and deep cultural roots. As a special touch, every diner enjoying the set menu receives Befanotti, traditional Christmas cookies from Tuscany, adding a festive note to the experience.
To elevate the dining experience, Ciccia Ristorante offers two expertly selected Tuscan wines at special prices. Guests can pair their meal with Chianti Classico Tenute Rossetti “Governo all’uso Toscano” or Chianti Classico Mazzei Fonterutoli, each chosen to complement the robust flavors of the dishes. For those seeking more flexibility, the dishes from the Tuscany Set Menu are also available à la carte, allowing diners to tailor their experience to their preferences.
