Cuculia

By Pierre Ferland  | Wednesday, 28th October 2026

 

Cuculia, in the Oltrarno, is Michelin-recommended and cooks in a more contemporary register, which makes it a good counterpoint to a weekend among the truffle stalls.

Contemporary cooking in the Oltrarno

Oliver Betancourt cooks contemporary dishes with attention to how they look and how they are put together, and Roberta, an accomplished sommelier, looks after the wine. It is the table to book for the evening after a day at San Miniato, when the appetite is for something that says something different.

We are fortunate, too, that Oliver and Roberta will come to Abitazione to prepare private dinners for our guests, cooking in the residence and choosing the wines to match — a Cuculia evening at your own table. Our Curator can arrange it.
