The Land

The connection to the local context is genuine and ongoing. Ingredient selection favors small-scale producers, transparent supply chains, and sustainable farming practices, often sourced directly from the Capanna estate or trusted suppliers personally chosen by the Chef. This is a choice that goes beyond quality — it is a matter of responsibility, an ethical and conscious vision that runs through the entire gastronomic project.

The result is a clean, essential cuisine that does not aim to impress, but to convey meaning. A narrative shaped by Tuscan authenticity and Mediterranean sensitivity, where each dish is a harmonious synthesis of technique, emotion, and place.

For Chef Mirko Cairone, the territory is not merely a starting point — it is a constant interlocutor, a living presence that engages with every dish. Tuscany is not reinterpreted or translated, but rather listened to, understood, and elevated in its deepest essence.

Every ingredient tells a story: of a generous land, passionate artisans, and seasons that shape both timing and flavor. The cuisine at Il Passaggio by Capanna is born from this attentive listening, from a concrete respect for what the land offers — without forcing, without excess.
