Cucina Donnaluisa is the gourmet restaurant of the magnificent Tuscan residence Il Verreno Resort, an ancient stone hamlet renovated with exquisite taste, the perfect location for high class weddings and exclusive events.
It is located in Val d'Ambra, a pleasant resort in the province of Arezzo.
The interior is warm and cozy, enhanced by mosaics on the walls and beautiful solid wood tables.
The ceilings feature exposed brick and wooden beams.
Chef Marialuisa Lovari works in the kitchen with valuable input from her sous chef and partner Keoma Franceschi and a young, motivated brigade.
Cucina Donnaluisa impressed us with the beauty of the setting and the exceptional quality of the cuisine, which not only celebrates the great Tuscan tradition, but also knows how to update it and transform it into fine dining.
The chef, Marialuisa Lovari, has a truly happy hand in the arrangement of each of her preparations: tasting two of her guided menus, the Land Menu and the Free Hand Menu, we appreciated not only her superfine technique, but also her great taste in combinations and her innate ability to make some local recipes modern and up-to-date, lightening them just the right amount for contemporary tastes without distorting them.
In addition, the kitchen knows how to work with the same quality for weddings and events, which are very frequent in such a charming place.
We drank beautifully, with a food-wine pairing of value, harmony and elegance: a mention for Riccardo Chieppa, who accompanied us during the tasting.
