    The menu features traditional Italian antipasti, pasta dishes, and main courses. Many dishes highlight seasonal local ingredients like artichokes and fresh truffles. However, the menu could be more balanced by incorporating more vegetables, legumes, grains and fried items in line with a Mediterranean diet. While focusing on local cuisine, the menu's priority seems to be showcasing tradition over nutritional balance in every dish.

    1-
    İn the Antipasti, artichokes, zucchini, and fresh truffles are seasonal products; on the other
    hand, the antipasti section most likely consists of cheeses and salumi. In this case, seasonality
    doesn't play a significant role here.
    I could advise using more fresh herbs, flowers and seasonal vegetables..
    In the prime section, ribollita is made of black cabbage; it's traditional but not seasonal after
    spring. Also, ribollita is a kind of winter dish for me; thus, I would recommend not to use it.
    Also, there is spinach and ricotta on the menu, ricotta can be fresh all seasons, but spinach is
    more likely a winter product. After this month, I cannot say it's in season. 
    But anyway, it should stay on the menu because it is one of the primary elements of Tuscan
    cuisine. 'Ricotta-spinach' is a widespread traditional and indispensable combination. Even if it
    is not a season, it should stay there.
    The second is made from traditional dishes, and they are mainly meat/fish sources.
    Lots of fresh Truffle use takes attention. It's the seasonal touch on classic dishes.

    2-Generally speaking, this menu presents some Mediterranean diet patterns, but it 
    could have more vegetables, legumes or grains…
    Ingredients are local and Mediterranean, but not enough.

    3- Dish 1: Fresh Home Made Pappardelle with Wild Boar 


      There is a good amount of Carbohydrates that come from pasta; also, protein comes from
    wild boar, but vegetables are barely present in the sauce. Overall balanced and Mediterranean
    dish.

        Dish 2: Ossobucco-Potato Mash


    This traditional dish is a high protein source also; potato mash has carbohydrates. 
    There are No vegetables, legumes or grain; I cannot say ıts well balanced.
        Dish 3: Fiorentina Steak
    Red meat is cooked rare, and it's full of proteins but just protein; there are no other sources. 
    It is not a balanced dish. Also, İts is totally far from the Mediterranean diet pattern. 

    4- This menu was well designed according to seasonal and local ingredient' truffle'. 
    It has been used in almost half of the dishes on the menu. 
    Vegetables are not used enough in this menu, and there should be more for sure.
    Also, I would like to see some fried items, but it is also missing.
    This menu focused on local traditional dishes. İt seems the priority was protecting, not
    nutritional balance.
