Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"A family of 4 (with 2 small dogs) went there and had a fabulous time. Friendly staff, really cosy atmosphere and very tasty food (albeit not a vide selection, but enough). My only complaint, if any, would be that the wine by glass was extraordinary expensive (13€) for the rather tiny helping. The wine was good, but for that price I'd expect a well-filled and sizeable glass. I do recommend the place, but perhaps buy a bottle. It will workout better even if you only have 2 glasses like I did."
"Authentic kitchen from Tuscany and a vast selection of regional wines"
"We came in without a reservation and were lucky to get a table. The food was excellent, the ambience warm and inviting, and the service was attentive and friendly. They also had great wine recommendations that paired perfectly with our meal. Definitely a place we’d come back to! Note: background music would be great."
"The food was amazing. My husband said the best T-bone steak he ever had. My food was so good I ordered 2 portions of it. Desserts at the end made us feel like we were in heaven. Don't miss this restaurant if you are in the neighbourhood."
"*Beyond the expectation* . As we were staying at "la mimosa" An agriturismo hotel 3 mins far by foot, we were recommended to eat here. I heard that they are cosines. Long story short, I fell in love with this restaurant. Massimo, a gentleman who took care of our table, is so kind and professional. As I used to work in service industry too, I can tell his service is great. Attentive, polite and respectful. He comes to our table at the perfect timing so that we didn't have to wait too long with our empty plates. We felt really comfortable with him. The dishes are delicious too. Their beef tartar is so smooth and soft. I'd call this "finesse". The ideas of dishes are so unique and you can find it from only here. Most of wines you find here is, of course, Bolgheri wine. The price is as chess as wine shop, not like restaurant price. Once again, I had great time and experience here and I want to thank everyone."
"Brilliant restaurant with brilliant authentic tuscan food. Love the food, love the service, love the atmosphere! Happy to pay for the quality of it all!"
"There is only one thing, which is tough! How to find this hidden heaven for Italian food lovers? Finally we made it and did enjoy a fabulous evening with spectacular tasteful food, very attentive waiters and excellent wines at fair rates. We will be back soon! The passion for cooking is definitely reaching the guests via superbe tastes and back to earth ways of preparation. Thank you!"
"Amazing experience! Attentive staff, high-quality products, and outstanding dishes. My husband and I will be back!"
