Executive chef Andrea Mattei embodies a 'farm to plate' philosophy at Meo Modo, uniting a deep understanding of his Tuscan culinary heritage with seasonal bounty cultivated onsite at the 200-acre Borgo Santo Pietro estate in Tuscany.

By collaborating with the estate's farmers and culinary gardeners, Mattei is able to craft highly personalised gourmet dishes using tailor-made, certified organic ingredients, such as fruit and vegetables that are grown to size by employing biodynamic principles. He also harnesses local wisdom, learning where to forage for wild herbs and how to utilise the benefits of fresh sheep's milk according to the season, and fosters close working relationships with local artisan producers who supply niche products for Meo Modo.

Meo Modo is located within the beautifully restored thirteenth-century villa of five-star luxury boutique hotel Borgo Santo Pietro, where guests dining on the terrace enjoy panoramic views over the sublime Valle Serena: a visual reminder of the Tuscan roots at the heart of Meo Modo's cuisine. Immersed in 13 acres of landscaped gardens, the villa exudes a sumptuous feeling of home, with worn leather armchairs pulled up around a grand open fireplace in the entrance hall, fresh flower arrangements picked straight from the garden, and an ancient weathered brick wine cellar that houses Meo Modo's boutique collection of wines.

WINE CELLAR
The Meo Modo wine cellar hosts 1000 boutique and prestigious labels that showcase Tuscan and Italian producers, whose passion for wine and time-honoured techniques faithfully reflect the terroir in which each wine is produced.
Our wine cellar has been built up over time as a result of dedicated hands-on research by our sommeliers, who visit the vineyards in person to understand the context in which each wine is made. These range from some of Italy's most recognised labels to boutique winemakers who produce a mere 10,000 bottles a year.
Respect for nature lies at the core of the Meo Modo philosophy, and our approach to wine is no different. We actively seek out wines that have been produced without the use of pesticides, from producers that practise organic and biodynamic methods.

2 PRIVATE DINING EXPERIENCES
The Grotto Dining Experience
We invite Meo Modo diners to enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner for two or celebrate a special occasion in an intimate group of up to four people in the private grotto area discreetly tucked away in the grounds, with exclusive service from your own personal waiter. It's an ideal location for secluded suppers and romantic proposals, or simply to enjoy the stillness of the starlit Valle Serena.

The Chef's Table
Diners curious to observe the action unfold in a Michelin-starred kitchen and witness the creation of gourmet masterpieces are invited to draw up a chair at the Chef's Table, an exclusive dining platform with a bird's-eye view of executive chef Andrea Mattei and his team at work. This privileged experience entitles diners to enjoy Andrea Mattei as their own private chef for the evening, and collaborate with him to design a menu of seasonal ingredients tailored to their personal tastes.

OUR FARM
Meo Modo is located on a 200-acre organically cultivated estate that raises sheep, chickens, pigs and bees, producing artisan cheese, free-range eggs, cured pork products and raw honey for the kitchen. It also encompasses two vineyards, fruit and nut orchards, an artisan cheese dairy and an extensive biodynamic culinary garden that provides seasonal vegetables, herbs and edible flowers throughout the year.
The estate lies at the heart of Meo Modo's 'farm to plate' philosophy, as executive chef Andrea Mattei works in collaboration with the farmers and culinary gardeners to design his Michelin-starred dishes.
