Breakfast
At Tenuta di Mensanello we consider it very important to start the day with the right energy.

You’re not staying in our farmhouse but you still want to try the restaurant breakfast? No problem: it’s open to outside guests too!
Lunch
Our typical farmhouse restaurant in Chianti is a quiet place where to spend time savoring the traditional Tuscan dishes in a convivial and authentic atmosphere.
We provide lunch only upon request, with a daily menu composed of freshly prepared dishes, and with the possibility to pair them with our wines.
If you prefer a light lunch, maybe before an afternoon of excursions in Siena or on the Chianti hills, you can choose the dish of the day, a platter of cold cuts, cheese or vegetarian options from our à-la-carte menu.
Dinner
What’s better than ending the day enjoying abundant and excellent grilled meat? The best part about our Tuscan restaurant dinners is the possibility to taste farm-to-table products, as genuine as they can be. Like the selection of meat that we offer you, coming from the semi-wild pigs that we breed in the estate’s wood, or produced locally such as the juicy Florentine steak and boar meat.
Here you also find delicious fresh pasta, made by our cooks, such as pici from Siena with ragù sauce or in their vegetarian version. Not to mention the desserts homemade daily, such as tiramisu and the typical almond biscuits from Tuscany.
If you’re looking for an outdoor space where to celebrate informal events, birthdays, family reunions or any other important anniversary, Tenuta di Mensanello has what you need. From snack breaks and cocktails to a full dinner, in our Chianti restaurant we can create arrangements of all kinds, even ensuring complete privacy from the other guests if requested.
