Cookobio - BUGGIANO

Cookobio is not a classic restaurant but is more like to be invited at home. The owner and chef Marilù will prepare your lunch or dinner according to the ingredients she will find the same day at the local market (most of the time from organic production), so it’s important to book in advance to give her time to prepare a good and surprisingly menu. Because she use also fish and meat, you need to specify at the time of booking that you want a vegan/vegetarian menu and also any ingredients you don’t like to be used in your dish preparation. Once at the restaurant, Marilù will tell what she has prepared for your meal (generally a four/five course menu from starters to dessert) and you can chose to eat all or a part of it. Even if it was a lot of food, I have taken the full menù that was really delicious. During your meal, you may also be requested to taste some new Marilù’s recipe to give your opinion about it for future guest (she is interested in expanding her knowledge of vegan/vegetarian dish). Everything is home-made including 3-4 different types of bread. The restaurant is not big, there are six (or seven, I don’t remember exactly) big tables in one room that was previously a bakery, but it’s cute and nicely decorated. Price are moderate (about 30-40 euros per person including wine). As a last tip, if you have 2-3 hours available don’t miss to visit Buggiano Castello (3 km up to the hill above Borgo a Buggiano) and its lemon-tree gardens.

La proprietaria, che oltre ad essere cuoca è anche cameriera, pone molta attenzione alle materie prime. L'ambiente è curato nei minimi dettagli, con stoviglie ricercate e una sala arredata con cimeli d'epoca. Il servizio è impeccabile e i vini sono eccellenti. Le pietanze riflettono la ricerca e il gusto della proprietaria, che sceglie ingredienti principalmente locali e biologici. Assolutamente da visitare a Borgo a Buggiano, prenotando in anticipo e comunicando i propri desideri gastronomici.

Attention to raw materials is the first concern of the owner who besides cooking also serves at the tables. an environment where the eye also wants its part, the dishes are refined and refined inside a room that brings us back to the beginning of the last century through various relics and collections. the table and the service are treated with maximum attention. the wines are excellent and the dishes are the result of the search and the good goto of the owner through the choice of ingredients mostly local and organic. a deviation in the village to beat absolutely to do by booking and expressing in advance the wishes of its palate.

An exclusive experience. my friend danilo had spoken very well and I had high expectations, but I did not expect to find a dining room for or exclusive of us 4 friends and chef Marilù at our disposal. the menu has been agreed and the 4 courses (and also extra) have exceeded our expectations for freshness and quality of the ingredients but also for combinations of flavors. high quality wines do not fall well below the average of restaurants. Marilù enchanted us and pampered us. we will definitely return to find her
