Badia di Moscheta
About
Badia di Moscheta is a charming Tuscan trattoria located in the historic village of Firenzuola, overlooking the serene Veccione River. The restaurant is run by three passionate sisters—Elisa, Anca, and Serena—who serve traditional, home‑made Tuscan dishes that celebrate seasonal ingredients and local culinary heritage. Guests can dine in comfortable interior rooms, enjoy an enclosed, heated gazebo on cooler days, or relax in a picturesque gazebo overlooking the forest. The establishment is part of a larger historic setting that includes the 12th‑century Benedictine abbey of Badia di Moscheta, an equine centre, and a local agriturismo offering rustic lodging. The menu highlights fresh pastas, grilled meats, and traditional Tuscan sweets, all accompanied by a carefully curated selection of Tuscan wines. While the restaurant is best known for its family‑friendly atmosphere, the scenic riverside setting and the historic abbey backdrop create an unforgettable dining experience. Weekend diners can enjoy lunch from Wednesday to Sunday with a paid reservation recommended, and holiday dinners on Saturdays and Saturdays nights are available upon request via WhatsApp. Open year‑round from mid‑March to December, the venue offers a genuinely relaxed, rustic vibe that appeals to both locals and visitors alike.
