One does not arrive here by accident, but because of the gastronomic value of the address, which is certainly worth a special detour.

At the Gatto Nero, we plunged back into a late 1960s atmosphere, enjoying a cultured cuisine - a true hymn to classic and traditional Great Italian Cuisine, with some unmissable "goodies" of Tuscan matrix - and an amazing Wine Cellar: in fact, thanks to Andrea Vannelli's expertise and passion, you will have the opportunity to taste labels of great depth. Let yourself be guided and you will not regret it!
