19 June 2026Il Peposo dell’Impruneta, offered by the I Paccheri restaurant, takes you on a journey through the authentic flavors of Tuscany in Pisa, featuring an original recipe, selected ingredients, and wine pairings from the region—all in a welcoming setting.
Tasting Il Peposo dell’Impruneta means immersing yourself in the culinary history of Tuscany and discovering a dish that combines simplicity and character.

Pisa thus becomes the place where you can enjoy true Tuscan peposo, traditional yet updated through careful preparation and high-quality ingredients.
At the heart of Tuscan peposo is a captivating story, linking the origins of the dish to the era of Filippo Brunelleschi and the construction of the Florence Cathedral’s Dome. The “fornacini” of Impruneta, utilizing the residual heat from the kilns firing bricks, invented this slow-cooked preparation, transforming cuts of beef muscle into a unique specialty. The traditional recipe – the original, registered with the Accademia Italiana della Cucina – keeps its essential character: beef, Chianti red wine, garlic, whole black peppercorns and salt.
This main course, enjoyed in every season, encapsulates the soul of local cuisine. Tasting the traditional Tuscan peposo here with us means experiencing the true connection between past and present, following the philosophy of Pisan cuisine that blends memory, flavor, and innovation. Brunelleschi’s peposo is not just a dish; it’s a story to savor.
