TAVERNA ETRUSCA : An enchanting restaurant in Maremma Toscana

Taverna Etrusca sits in the corner of the splendid Preotorio Piazza, in the enchanting medieval town of Sovana, part of the Maremma Collinare.
The old thirteenth century Palazzo del Pretorio that houses Taverna Etrusca was carefully renovated so that the restaurant continues to reflect all the beauty and authenticity of the original structure.
Outside the coats of arms of the commissioners who ruled Sovana between 1484 and 1686 remain as symbols of the building’s illustrious past.
Inside the restaurant’s atmosphere is intimate and refined, while still maintaining the strong architectural elements of the 13th century through it’s exposed beams and terracotta floors.
Just off the main dining room is a small niche with one, very romantic table, allowing guests to dine in ultimate intimacy.
During Spring and Summer, diners can enjoy the beautiful Tuscan weather on the alfresco terrace, where everything tastes better.

Our Cousine
Domenico Piccini and his staff cook traditional dishes made with the essence and perfumes of the Maremman land and executed with the cornerstones of modern cooking. The menu is divided along due main streams.
The first stream involves the Slow Food at 0km project and traditional dishes.
These include soups and Maremman pastas like pappardelle and pici, all of which are made with the best local ingredients.
The second stream remains tied to the territory but is more creative with its use of farm-grown and wild meats including hare, boar, deer, quail and pheasant.
These are the dishes and recipes that represent the history and traditions of this land, revitalised in a modern way and presented with the utmost finesse.
Cooking techniques and seasonings are also used to the utmost care to achieve a fine balance between flavour, innovation and healthly eating guidelines.

Wine List
Like the products used in our cuisine, the wines chosen by Ristorante dei Merli are locally made, produced and part of the 0km project.
Many of these locally-produced wines have DOC recognition including the Rosso di Sovana and Bianco di Pitigliano.
Others are dedicated to producing IGT wines that bring out the best in the local grapes and are in high demand not only nationally but internationally.
For those who are very passionate about wine we also provide a second wine list that includes Brunelli, as well as Super Tuscan and famous national wines.

Catering Service
Catering and private events
Diners don’t need to come to Taverna Etrusca to try some of the best traditional Maremman fare in the region, but can now book Domenico and his team for private or corporate events.
