After feasting on the view of Florence from Piazzale Michaelangelo, it was time for dinner. We proceeded to Impruneta, a village in the surrounding hills noted for its terra cotta pottery. It is now more of a Florence suburb. There, we enjoyed a Tuscan Dinner at Ristorante I Tre Pini. The restaurant is located out from town, some distance beyond the Piazzale Michelangelo scenic overlook. Quite a production it was, beginning with an introduction by Chef Libero!

Diners were greeted in the garden. Seating was inside and outside the 14th century farmhouse that forms the basis of the restaurant. We were seated outside. The Anitipasto course was served family style with a number if items from which to choose, prosciutto, salami, fried mozzarella, fried olives, and a meat paste on bread among them. The pasta dish was ravioli and a rigatoni. The show continued with two waitresses carrying in sides of roast beef a on a large platter! Then the main course was Roast Prime Rib of Beef. (Tuscany is an important cattle raising area.) Tiramisu for dessert. This was real Tuscan cuisine and delicious! Entertainers, including two vocalists singing traditional songs and a guitarist provided a pleasant accompaniment to dinner.
