Alcide Restaurant: Tuscan Tradition in Poggibonsi
The Ancillotti Family: Five Generations of Excellence
The story of Ristorante Alcide begins in 1849, when the Ancillotti family opened a small osteria in the historic centre of Poggibonsi, in the province of Siena. Since then, five generations have safeguarded and passed on the secrets of authentic Tuscan food, uniting tradition with innovation.
The name "Alcide" is a tribute to the founder, whose vision transformed a simple traditional Tuscan restaurant in Poggibonsi into a gastronomic landmark. His philosophy was straightforward: local ingredients from Val d'Elsa, preparations that respect tradition, and the warm hospitality that defines Tuscany.
Over the years, the restaurant has become celebrated for its seafood specialities, a bold choice for a restaurant near San Gimignano and in the heart of Tuscany. Fresh fish arrives every day from the Tyrrhenian ports of Livorno and Viareggio, personally selected to ensure the highest quality.
Today, the tradition continues with the same dedication. Every dish that leaves our kitchen tells a story: the story of a family, of authentic Tuscan cuisine, of local Tuscan ingredients and a passion that renews itself every day in Poggibonsi.
"We cook with heart, we serve with love. This has been our promise for over 175 years."
