After a week of chocolates, salt was calling my name!
What better cure than PORK!
Lucky for us as we were driving down the road we spotted “OSTERIA IL MAIALETTO” the Little Pig.
Upon entering we noticed this was not just a local snack shop as it appeared from the outside, but nstead a fully stocked butcher's counter with a huge selection of regional salami's, a wall of prosciutto's and several jars of unknown products packed in oil.
The walls were covered with lovely black and white foto’s of pigs.
My kind of place!
The menu was fabulous with tastings of all the products in the butcher’s case.. and more!
Pasta, grilled meats, perfect potatoes and desserts, all made there.
Turns out that the shop is an annex of the Macelleria da Giacomo Ferretti and their home grown hogs!
I loved my first visit and cannot wait until the next, and next time I am going without having pigged out on Chocolate first!
Worth the Drive from Florence just to eat here.... plan to have chocolate and coffee after at Slitti...double the pleasure!
