2009 The new restaurant ChefClaudio
Feeling the atmosphere of our Country Inn Hotel at the view of the Tuscan countryside .
The success of Torre Guelfa derives from a long professional experience in the selection of typical and genuine foods, and the passion for harmonising flavours and ingredients. The banqueting hall staff and often Claudio himself, take great pride in greeting customers and creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. They will be most happy to help you with suggestions on the two “a la carte” menus, one for fish and the other for meat specialities. The sommelier will gladly propose the most suitable wine from the wine list, containing 1200 wines.
To end your meal in the style that is unique to Torre Guelfa, your next choice can be from one or both of the well combined cheese and dessert lists. Of course the sommelier will be at hand to help you decide on the best the dessert wine or liqueur to make even the last part of your meal a perfect harmony of flavours. 
The love for our Tuscan lands, and the Tuscan way of life are the basis on which Torre Guelfa Restaurant was created. To us this means the most refined surroundings but with the warmth and friendliness so typical of our people.
Claudio “ ... for my cooking just fresh ingredients , the top of Italian land and ..of course local products
1991 …………Here he stayed for five satisfying years, but by this time Claudio now had the desire to run a restaurant all of his own. This desire brought him back to Figline his beloved home town, where he opened the Torre Guelfa Restaurant which rapidly became a meeting point for lovers of good food, and even other gourmet cooks. Meeting many other professionals, Claudio’s personal know how also increased enormously; thanks to this, he received and accepted many invitations to cook in the US. He soon found himself passing on his techniques and tricks of the trade to other people, and the next step could only be the launching of cookery classes for both beginners and professionals, many of which from other countries and cultures. Although enjoying his international experiences immensley, Claudio’s love for his native land was ever present, and he nutured desires and dreams which would lead him to the next step in his career: the realization of his own farming estate, where he could grow the fresh biological products so important for his recipies.
