Mucco Pisano

We spent the first of the year in Pisa. The small city has such charm. As soon as we walked within sight of that famous tower I was taken. Of course, it is leaning and I mean really leaning. We were able to climb to the top- gravity pitching us side to side throughout the ascent. The top is slanted enough that I found myself walking tiptoe. I just loved it. I left this morning planning to return. Not just for the things we saw but for the things we tasted too, particularly Mucco Pisano. It is a traditional Pisan steak and in many ways an art. There are multiple rounds of crossbreeding and ancient recipes. The taste is incredible, especially in tortelli- handmade and filled pasta. In Pisa off the Arno River there is a Spaghetteria in Piazza Carioli- Spaghetteria Tegame. Go.
