more meat in 2 days than the last month

Linda Sarris October 5, 2015

Antica Locanda di Sesto is a trattoria in the picture perfect town of Lucca in Tuscany. Chef Aurelio Barattini is the 4th generation running the Bibb Gourmet Michelin-rated restaurant along with his brother Lamberto, la mamma Raffaella Tomei Barattini + her mamma Nonna Ida.

They have a family farm nearby growing grapes for easy sipping wine, 400 trees producing extra virgin olive oil, and an "orto" for produce used in the restaurant. Italy's true + natural farm-to-table style. When I asked Aurelio if the area was known for truffles he quickly replied "No, they are found 45 minutes away! It's very far." When you see a 45 minute drive as too far away, we can really understand the local way people eat and think about food here.
