This is the pizza you write home about. Perfect in every way. Makes even the best Napoli style pizza back home in Toronto disappointing. We had the margherita and the cappriciosa (with some lovely anchovies). Amazing. The place has no table service and seems to be a combination grocery and pizzeria. You order at the check out counter on the way in and give them your name. When the pizzas are ready they call your name...as pronounced in the local dialect, so listen carefully!!! Also just grab drinks from the cooler on the left...when you're done, pay at the check out counter. It was slightly confusing but the effort was completely worth it.

Was our last evening in Tuscany and we wanted something authentic and of course delicious, and we werenât let down. Fantastic food, mushroom soup was amazing, exceptional service and really great value. If u ever visit this area is a must go to place. And we agree the house red was delicious! Thank you and we canât wait to return, and would love to stay over too as a beautiful venue.

Once again, delicious food prepared by Chef Angela and served by her husband Giuliano. Intimate, rustic and friendly atmosphere. (And no TV!!! That in itself deserves a 5* plus!) I photographed only the desert - couldnât resist as it looks so pleasing on the eye as well as on the palette. ( Panna cotta with meringue and frutti di bosco).

Everything started great. We were served a glass of wine and a basket of bread immediately upon seating. After that, Daria came and took our ordered. The food was delicious (with the exception of dessert and espresso). After we were provided our entrees the service went completely downhill. We had to chase down a server for more wine, to clear our plates (after sitting there over 30 minutes), to see the dessert menu, etc. We noticed the larger groups getting treated very well yet the couples not that great. This really put a damper on the experience.Overall not sure I'd recommend. The food was great but the poor service isn't worth it.

La Taverna del Pian delle Mura welcomed us with their honest, warm hospitality and bounty of earthly cuisine made with ingredients most of which are biological and sourced from the Monte Amiata region. To start we had the carpaccio of chianina, deliciously tender beef at its best.. then enjoyed an assortment of pasta, such as pici (fat, flatish type of spaghetti from the Siena region) with cherries and prosciutto, tortelli di ricotta al ragù bugiardo (tortelli filled with ricotta and served with a white ragu) (the tortelli was our favourite) and then a succulent oven roasted rabbit stuffed with ham and herbaceous rosemary. As sides we had sauteed dandelion leaves - the bitterness of which is great for digesting the rich food, and the zucchine, which were great qua flavour, but perhaps a bit too over-oiled. We were washing this down with the house wine, excellent for a house: a Rosso Montalcino, a fruitsome (cherry) red with that a nice dusty plum twist of an everyday sangiovese.Although quite satiated, we carried on into desserts, soft almond cakes doused in hand made custard accompanied by an array of self or locally produced liquores, including one made from dogs rose (Rosa canina) or one that we especially liked made from blue Hydrangea petals. I imagine it would be a delight to return in autumn when one can feast on their culinary art using locally procured harvest of porcini and castagne (mushrooms and chestnuts) and to try also the strozzapreti made with chestnut flour, among much else. We will, we shall, we must return!

This restaurant came recommended by the owners of the accommodation we were staying in. We booked a table and were pleased to learn that the chef/owner spoke English. On arrival our party was made to feel very welcome and the chef came out to speak to us and to suggest a starter course of antipasti to share. We readily agreed and then also ordered our mains etc. The antipasti was the best I have ever enjoyed in Italy or elsewhere. There was so much to choose from that we all felt we need not have ordered anything else. The pasta course was also delicious and the desserts too. The next day the chef sent a message hoping that we had enjoyed our meal which I thought was a very nice touch. A lovely experience and a lovely meal-thank you.

This restaurant was able to accommodate 18 people on a half hour notice. Even though they donât have a set menu they quickly created one that included 3 anti pasta, 2 types of pasta and meat. The menu is limited but the great food makes up for it.

We had a lovely meal here after an evening in the hot springs - there is a real homely atmosphere in the restaurant, which appears popular with locals and tourists alike. We were there mid week in winter and at 9pm local families poured in. The food was delicious and the restaurant beautifully decorated and maintained. They even lit a fire for us!

Pleasant service, lovely atmosphere. Delicious cheese breadsticks. Unusual menu, loved the duck tagliatelle with orange. Anchovyâs were good for those who enjoy them, beautifully presented. Nice wines available by the class. Excellent Banfi white. Unfortunately the ribs while unusual with honey were devoid of hardly any meat. Very disappointing. The desserts were average.
