Cucina Pietraforte Restaurant is a strategically located refreshment point along the route, a tasty stop in Maiano.
At the end of a challenging stage of the Via degli Dei trek, at Cucina Pietraforte, hikers can indulge in a revitalizing meal immersed in the authentic flavors of Tuscany, with dedicated service: a warm welcome, nourishing dishes to recharge, and a relaxing atmosphere with panoramic views of the Florentine hills, surrounded by greenery and silence. The location offers a privileged view, a tasteful oasis ideal for an al fresco lunch or dinner or for an afternoon break with savory dishes and gelato.

The menu always features creative vegetarian and vegan options—such as the legume cream soup with stale bread croutons, known as Frantoiana, or porcini mushroom risotto with almond cream, or grilled cauliflower with pumpkin cream—always balanced and flavorful. Naturally, traditional Tuscan classics are a must: from pappardelle with local wild boar to grilled steak served with chimichurri sauce, and finally, homemade cantucci.
It's more than just a place to eat; it's your ally on an unforgettable hike!
Open every day in the summer, and on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) for delicious snacks and gelato.
