Nello

A New Nello

Nello is a revived local address in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, re-opened in 2022 by chef JRE Federico Migliori and pastry chef Chiara Zanetti. The dining room keeps the feel of a historic Tuscan restaurant, updated with a modern, intimate look and a service style that stays personal because the owners are on the floor every day. The cooking reads Tuscany through their own lens: rooted in familiar dishes, sharpened by technique, and supported by a cellar from the 1500s. Nello is listed in the Michelin Guide.

Tuscan Cooking with Modern Tools

JRE chef Federico Migliori builds plates with a small number of high-quality ingredients and a clear idea behind each one. Grilling, fermentation and controlled oxidation are part of the work, used to push flavour and keep the ingredient in focus. Sicilian memory shows up in aromas and seasoning, while the structure stays Tuscan and seasonal. The menu moves between land, sea and vegetable-led dishes, with options for a longer tasting route when you want the kitchen to set the pace. Expect precision, depth, and clean finishes.

Gateway to Chianti

San Casciano in Val di Pesa sits south of Florence, at the northern edge of Chianti Classico, with vineyards and olive groves starting almost immediately outside the historic centre. It is an easy base for wine estates in the Pesa Valley and for day trips into Florence, while still feeling like a working Tuscan town. You can walk the old centre, take in views from the Torre del Chianti, and plan tastings across the surrounding hills. Nello fits the location: local, grounded, and quietly ambitious.

The Wine Archive

Nello’s wine list is built on a carefully curated selection that begins with the local territory while extending its vision beyond regional borders. Alongside Tuscan labels, guests will find Italian and international producers chosen for their identity, character, and coherence. Each bottle is selected to complement the cuisine, enhancing aromas, structure, and contrasts without ever overpowering the dish. From a glass that expresses the essence of Tuscany to one that surprises with influences from farther afield, every pairing is guided by the expertise of sommelier Alex Turmac, who creates harmonious and balanced journeys while maintaining a clear and thoughtful vision of the overall dining experience.
