The Osteria Experience

Tucked among the workshops and the market of Sant'Ambrogio, Osteria Cancello dei Macci is run by Ardit and Chris with a simple belief: good food and a genuine welcome belong together. Our kitchen keeps to Tuscan tradition — pasta rolled by hand, steak grilled over embers, and produce from the neighbourhood market.
