Dinner with a view: the panoramic terrace of Radda in Chianti
A unique culinary experience where Tuscan Sea and Land cuisine meets breathtaking views over the Chianti Classico hills
A terrace suspended between sky and hills
Imagine sitting at your table as the sun sets over the Chianti Classico hills, painting the sky in golden and rosy hues. The air smells of rosemary and lavender, and before you opens a panorama of vineyards, olive groves and cypresses stretching to the horizon. This is not a postcard — it's the experience that awaits you every evening at Terrazza Leopoldo, in the heart of the medieval village of Radda in Chianti.
Palazzo Leopoldo: a history of elegance
The terrace is located on the upper floor of Palazzo Leopoldo, an 18th-century historic residence transformed into a charming boutique hotel. The palazzo, with its stone walls and frescoed ceilings, tells centuries of Tuscan history. The terrace was conceived as a natural extension of this elegance: a place where time seems to stand still, where every detail — from linen tablecloths to crystal glasses — is crafted with artisanal care.
Tuscan Sea and Land cuisine
The Chef proposes a cuisine he defines as "Tuscan Sea and Land" — a dialogue between Mediterranean flavors and those of the Chianti hills. Dishes combine fresh fish from the Tuscan coast with local ingredients: extra virgin olive oil from the surrounding hills, pecorino cheeses from the Crete Senesi, aromatic herbs from the palazzo's garden. The menu changes with the seasons, following ingredient availability and the Chef's inspiration. Each dish is a story of the territory, presented with contemporary technique and respect for tradition.
The wine list: a journey through Chianti Classico
With over 100 selected labels, Terrazza Leopoldo's wine list is a journey through the best of Chianti Classico wine production and beyond. From the reserves of historic Radda producers — such as Montevertine, Istine and Val delle Corti — to the most celebrated Super Tuscans, to a selection of Champagne and Italian sparkling wines. The sommelier is available to guide you in choosing the perfect pairing for each course of your menu.
An intimate and private experience
With only a few tables available each evening, Terrazza Leopoldo guarantees an intimate and private experience. It's not a mass restaurant — it's a place where every guest receives personalized attention, where service is discreet yet impeccable, where conversation flows without interruption. For those seeking an additional level of exclusivity, it's possible to book the entire terrace for a private dinner: up to 25 guests can enjoy the view and cuisine in total privacy.
