Buon Ricordo speciality

Minestra di farro, verdure e pesce

Romano Franceschini’s philosophy is quite straightforward: a family run business, women in charge of the back-ofthe-house, local recipes, and adventuring as far as Garfagnana in the search for new flavours. So, here we have this soup made from spelt, traditional grain from the Serchio Valley that has been lately gaining favour. The traditional preparation of this recipe is based on bean purée enriched with prawns, squids and drops of olive oil from Colline Lucchesi.
