La Selva

Amidst the gentle rolling hills of Capalbio, where olive groves stretch out to meet the horizon and cypress trees stand tall as guardians of time, one finds La Selva—a culinary gem that effortlessly captures the soul of Tuscany. The name 'La Selva', which translates to 'The Forest', paints a vivid picture of nature's embrace. As you approach the restaurant, it feels as though you are venturing into a Tuscan secret, surrounded by verdant greenery and the soothing symphony of nature. The rustic stone exterior, draped in ivy and punctuated by colorful blooms, welcomes visitors into an ambiance reminiscent of a cozy countryside retreat. Inside, the interiors stay true to the Tuscan aesthetic—aged wood beams, terracotta floors, and vintage decor create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Ample windows ensure that the dining space is bathed in a soft, natural glow, allowing patrons to marvel at the panoramic beauty outside. La Selva's culinary philosophy is rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and love. Harnessing the bounty of the region, the chefs craft dishes that are both traditional and innovative. You might start with a delicate carpaccio drizzled in the finest local olive oil, followed by a hearty 'Pappardelle al Cinghiale' (wild boar pasta), and conclude with a dessert that celebrates the sweet flavors of Tuscany. Integral to the experience is the wine selection. Curated from local vineyards, each bottle tells a story, inviting diners to embark on a journey of flavors, aromas, and memories.
