Restaurant Novecento, in the picturesque heart of Semproniano, represents a bastion of Maremma cuisine, the essence of simplicity and authenticity. Founded in 2002 by Brunella and Valeria, two friends with a shared culinary vision, the restaurant illuminates the gastronomic scene with its philosophy focused on local and seasonal products, grown at zero kilometers.
The passion of these female entrepreneurs is reflected in every dish on offer. The pasta, the restaurant’s centerpiece, is always fresh and derived from local flours, ranging from chickpea flour to spelt flour to the innovative use of flour from ancient grains, typical of the area and prized for their low gluten content.
In this small corner of Maremma, the intimate connection between food and hinterland is manifested in every detail. The oil is supplied by producers along the Fibbianello road, which connects Saturnia to Semproniano, giving a striking view of the rows of olive trees. Equally carefully selected are the bulk wine, entrusted to the Torri dell’Albegna winery, and the bottled wines, with a preference for Morellino and other labels from neighboring towns.
Rounding out the offerings are meat selections, such as filet al Morellino, which, in certain seasons, can also be served with strawberry grapes; fresh vegetables harvested from local farmers; and cheeses from the Carlucci Cheese Factory in Pomonte.
An experience at Ristorante Novecento goes beyond the simple act of eating: with a panoramic veranda that offers breathtaking views of the Albegna Valley and the WWF Bosco dei Rocconi Oasis, the restaurant becomes a must-visit for anyone in search of quality food and sensory ecstasy.
The restaurant, open for both lunch and dinner, faithfully adheres to the concept of seasonality, allowing visitors to enjoy the typical products of each time of year, thus guaranteeing a menu that is always rich and varied. A place where Tuscan hospitality and authentic flavors come together, making every meal an unforgettable memory.
Brunella and Valeria have managed to create a gastronomic reality that pays tribute to the human values of yesteryear and the deep roots of the Maremma, welcoming their guests with discretion and allowing them to personally assess the high quality of the restaurant’s culinary offerings.
Ristorante Novecento stands as an emblem of Tuscan excellence that celebrates tradition in all its aspects, welcoming both local and international clientele, attracted by the true flavors of a rich and generous land.
