Article in the ShermansTravel magazine that talks about the best places to dinner in Franciacorta quoting our Cucina San Francesco.

Cucina San Francesco

For an elegant dinner that won’t break the bank, head to Cucina San Francesco a sophisticated hilltop restaurant that pulls from an onsite vegetable garden to create fresh interpretations of local dishes. Tucked inside Cappuccini, a resort and spa housed in a restored monastery, the restaurant has exposed beams, traditional furnishings, and a panoramic view of Franciacorta, so you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The food is equally transportive: The seasonal four-course traditional menu, featuring specialties like veal steak with tuna sauce and local anchovies, mincemeat-stuffed pasta with butter and sage, slow-cooked guinea-fowl (similar to a pheasant, but less gamey) with vegetables and polenta, and almond crumble cake with fior di latte ice cream, costs 47 euros ( approx. $55 USD) per person.
