Officine Bocelli

Top choice in Northwestern Tuscany


Taste wine and olive oil produced on Andrei Bocelli's family estate at this fabulous new eatery, the latest creative opening by the wine-producing Bocelli family. Be it a wine tasting with savoury morsels you are after, a swift 'worker's lunch' or a full-blown feast of a dinner, chef Matteo Cristiani delivers with modern Tuscan dishes served in an on-trend interior. Find it in tiny hamlet of La Sterza, on the SR439.

Family portraits adorn the walls of the industrial-chic space where Andrei Bocelli's brother, Alberto, can invariably be found hard at work. A small museum above explores the singing career of one of Tuscany's most famous local lads, and the shop sells Bocelli wines, olive oil, honey etc.
