  DINING AT BOTTACCIO
The table at Il Bottaccio is the altar around which the four elements - air, earth, water and fire - celebrate the rites of senses.

Il Bottaccio Restaurant and the Relais is the precursor of a formula, which originates from a happy adulteration between high dinning and art. And thus for the fortunate guests of this antique oil mill, it is impossible to distinguish between the two entities and to establish where the restaurant ends and the art gallery begins. Through its refined collection of sculptures, paintings, and furnishings, which represent numerous epochs and styles, Il Bottaccio exalts dinning, making it into something more subtle-a perception, sensation, emotion that nourishes the body and the soul. And it is thus that beauty, rhythm, and poetry add that unique quality to the cuisine of Il Bottaccio that demarcates the establishment’s passage from profession to art.

THE CUISINE
The unique setting of Il Bottaccio, suspended among the sea nearby and the Apuanians Alps, contributes to its original cuisine where the sea flavours combine with the musky aromas of the woods and the mountains. The food retains the Mediterranean light, airy and delicate, full bodied and light. The perceptions, sensations and the emotions which the place inspires add a unique flavour to the food which, at Il Bottaccio, has the quintessential qualities that turn professional catering into a form of art.

THE CHEF
The D’Anna family entrusted Il Bottaccio to the Chef-Director Nino Mosca over 25 years ago, and has watched it grow with passion to become not only an institution, but a mecca for the devotees of fine Italian cuisine.  In Nino there is the precious gift of equilibrium, acquired from years of dedication, experience and introspection which permits him to blend a luminous creativity with the most profound roots of Italian tradition.  The cuisine of Il Bottaccio is made not only of a physical, material food, but of a much more subtle one – an invisible plankton made of perceptions, sensations, and emotions generated by the atmosphere and environment itself.  This beauty,  rhythm and poetry give the cuisine of the Bottaccio that unique quality that transports it from being a simple trade to an art.
