La Certosa Restaurant is a traditional restaurant located in a villa that was built in the 13th century.  Reminiscent of an old country villa, this restaurant is located in the province of Florence, Italy and we were fortunate to be able to try out the Tuscany dinner that is served over there.

With a few large halls, La Certosa Restaurant can serve many different groups at the same time.


It was a pity that we were there for dinner during winter since it gets dark early and we did not have the opportunity to appreciate the whole grounds of the villa though we did manage to take a few pictures of the entrance area.



Complete with folk music entertainment as well as accordion accompaniment, and the antics of the service staff, we were completely enthralled by the food as well as the songs.
