Osteria Portanova

Strategically located above Porta Nuova, the main access to the historic center of Colle, the Hosteria Enoteca Portanova alternates history and modernity, mixed with music and gastronomy. A unique and exclusive location that takes us back in time, penetrating in fact into the bowels of an ancient watchtower, you can find curious niches, large and secluded cisterns where you can sit and it is even possible to have a meal on an ancient route of the current Via Francigena. There are many possible experiences at Hosteria Portanova which allows you to sit both in the suggestive interior spaces created in the heart of a tower, and outside above the two towers that defend Porta Nuova. A location full of suggestions where the spaces are elegantly furnished and where in the summer season you can enjoy a unique panorama. In the kitchen, Chef Lorenzo Somigli accurately carries out real artistic creations that are the result of a long process of research on products and their use. The proposals alternate meat with fish that the chef proposes following both traditional recipes and experimenting with new and colorful dishes with innovation, always respecting the freshness, typicality and seasonality of the products used. The cellar is highly respected and offers a good choice of national labels, with particular attention to Tuscan and local quality products. The theme nights are also the restaurant’s main dish, when dinner is enlivened by the notes of musicians of national and international scope.
