Scalini

Saclini has been operating in its expansive, attractive premises since 1988. The menu is based firmly on classics of Italian cuisine, such as pasta e fagioli alla Veneta and a Tuscan 'fiorentina' (chargrilled T-bone steak), but there is also plenty of innovation, as in suprema di pollo Chantal, chicken supreme seasoned with, paprika and pine kernels, or costoletta di vitello Scalini, a veal chop stuffed with ham and mushrooms and topped with cheese & truffled butter. The wine list is not long but it includes some of Italy's finest as well as a small but select group of outstanding bottles from France.
