The "Pietre Cavate" Restaurant was started in a country house in 1979, outside of Montecatini Terme near Florence, Italy.
The restaurant takes its name from the stonepits that hold the soil necessary to cultivate the prized olive trees that produce the extra-virgin olive oil of the Tuscan region.
Initially, only friends ventured along the narrow country road on the hill to taste the delicious Florentine cuisine handed down from our grandmother.
As time passed, the small house was enlarged so that today, large and small parties can enjoy their privacy and delicious cuisine in the dining room or on the large terrace among the many flowers and trees overlooking the whole Nievole panoramic countryside.
The special dishes handed down by our grandmother are still served.
Among these are "La Ribollita", "Farinata al Cavolo Nero"and "La Pappa al Pomodoro".

Grilled on our original fireplace grill, our Florentine sirloin steaks, from beef only born and bred in our region, are extra tender.
Being only 50 km. from the sea, we are proud to offer a variety of fresh fish. Clams, shrimp, sea bass or cod can be grilled, baked or cooked in a light tomatoe sauce with our own extra-virgin olive oil and fresh spices and tomatoes from our garden.

In addition, we carry a large quantity of wines not only from Tuscany but also from the Sicilian, Piedmont, Venetian and other Italian regions.
