We came here for lunch. The view from the terrace is beautiful, but the friendly owner and fabulous food really made it memorable. There is only a small lunch menu, but all the dishes we tried were excellent - in particular the pappardelle with wild boar sauce was the best we had in Tuscany - sublime!

We ate here twice during our week in Tuscany.The service is generally excellentThe ravioli excellentThe local chicken also excellentThe steak we felt a little chewy The complaint from me is from our second visit. We ordered the chicken with truffle from the main menu (page open, pointed, used my poor Italian). The waiter asked if we wanted white or black (which we took to mean an option with that dish) , we shrugged, and said white.It wasn't until our bill came that we realised white dish is twice the price. For those who know truffles I'm sure that's obvious, but there was no warning or redirection to the separate truffle special menu.When we raised this we were simply told "I asked if you wanted black or white", and that was the end of the conversation. I can't really fault the food, but I think a more professional host would mention when they're taking you off main menu, or show some appreciation for the fact you clearly shrugged when asked to make the choice in the first place.Shame, walked away from a nice dinner frustrated and annoyed rather than planning to return. Leaving this review as a word of caution to ensure others pay closer attention.Ciao Foddeh,First of all thank you for coming to eat twice :)Thank you but we don't need that you write a review to warn future customers,because we have two separate truffle menu with different priceFor a correct information when the custumers arrive in our restaurant we inform them about the dishes of the day and then we introduce with a SEPARATE FLYER the WHITE TRUFFLE dishes, where the price of each dish is clearly written like as well the grams servedIn a jar we also let you the opportunity to smell the white truffle in order to make you understand the difference with the black: the with is the king of the forest :)Inside the Main Menù there is the BLACK TRUFFLE dishes with black picturesIn the separate flyer there is the WHITE TRUFFLE dished with white picturesEvery single guest is having in the hands the two menu with the list of dishes with well clear writing price To avoid any mistake every time the guests order truffle-based dishes always we ask if they wish order white or black truffle because we don't whant any problem or mistake We asked you the same question and you answer: "chicken with white truffle"Can you help me understand what we need to do more to make you understand the difference ? :)I'm sorry about it but nobody had bad intentions because you ate and paid exactly what you ordered with all informations in your handsThe name of the waiter who took the order was me and you ate at table number 10 in the lower roomI forgot to tell you, that even on our website all the menus and the wine list have the price because we don't want any problems or miss comunicationsEnjoy the rest of holidays in ToscanaMax

This restaurant is part of the Fattoria di Cinciano hamlet complex that includes accommodation, the restaurant, a church plus a winery. The Fattoria is located in the hills above Poggibonsi, about four kilometres from the Poggibonsi North exit on the Florence to Siena Road. The last three kilometres are on a very winding, uphill, narrow and gravel road that takes you to the parking area for the Fattoria. The views of the surrounding countryside from the Fattoria, which we spent some time walking around, are superb though we sat inside in the restaurant.The restaurant had a 4 course degustation menu for Euro 38 per person which is extremely good value. As the starter we had the beef tartare and the cod. Primi was a risotto followed by pork. Dessert was yoghurt and mango. All of the dishes were very tasty.The only wines on the menu were the Fattoria's own bottles. We had a very good 2014 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione for Eur 29.With coffee, mineral water and service charge the bill was only EUR110 for the 2 of us. Excellent value.Service was very friendly and efficient.Perhaps the only downside to this restaurant was the road up to it. We went for lunch and it was OK but I certainly would not like to be driving down it at night.

It's not your usual Butcher shop, it's much more indeed. You are definitely in for an unexpected treat when you visit the Macelleria Francini, and a very pleasant one. Yes, the name says "Butcher Shop" but inside is a quaint restaurant with amazing fresh food - the carpaccio and tartare were favorites of locals. We enjoyed cuts and wine and a fine time. ...

Need I say more, best meal of the trip. The food, service, ambiance, wine and overall experience was just perfect. Could not fault anything. It's been a while since I've gone somewhere, tried 5 different dishes and couldn't fault any. The Syrah Canaio wine was superb. I wish I could go back tomorrow

We were booked for this cooking class through Mario Fortini of Bellarome Travel Agency so we had no idea what to expect. Mario did a great job because this was awesome! We had a very nice ride through Tuscany to get here. The staff was fun and friendly. We made home made fettuccini, Bolognese sauce, rosemary pork loin and Tiramisu for dessert. Everything was wonderful, some of the very best food I had in Italy. All the time we were cooking, we sampled wine (may be why the food tasted so good!) We had an excellent wine tasting that was informative and included some very good wine. Overall, this was a great day, I'll definitely make the recipes we prepared here because they were so simple and I look forward to enjoying the wine we ordered from them.Dear Becky, we thank you so much for your kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed our cooking class, lovely welcome of Bottega TorcianoFamily. We are thrilled you had a great time by us! You really understand our spirit and passion for wine! Thank you and we hope to see you again! You are always welcomedHave a nice day
