For over twenty-five years, our traditional and innovative cuisine has been taking black and white truffles to new heights through intense research. Each of our original creations is the expression of the passion that we like to share with the most discerning of foodies. These exceptional diamonds of the culinary world need a first-class setting to show them off – La Truffe Noire is a restaurant dedicated to elegance and refinement, and to the magic of this extraordinary ingredient. We invite you to enjoy a unique dining experience in our starred restaurant.

Moreno Panattoni and Luigi Ciciriello are delighted to invite you to celebrate the somewhat late arrival of spring this year with a menu full of subtle touches and in perfect symbiosis with the four fine Tuscan wines of Fattoria Montechiari.

The Montechiari vineyard is located on the summit of the highest hill in the mediaeval village of Montecarlo (Lucca), where the wines have been renowned since the Renaissance.
These slopes get sunshine from daybreak to sundown, and it is here that Moreno and his wife Catherine have lovingly placed all their hopes in Chardonnay, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet, which they make into wine "in purezza", as we say in Italy (wine-making based on purity of production).

We would like to welcome you to La Truffe Noire and tell you more about what we stand for. We have included all the information you need on this new site, giving you an insight into our philosophy, as well as a glimpse of the heart and soul of our restaurant.
