Al Palazzo

Reviewed By applepike

Had another lovely meal here recently. Great traditional and local cuisine using Pork from their own herd of Tuscan pigs that are reared nearby on the slopes of the hill near Sommocolonia. Really friendly and attentive staff, especially the young family who run the restaurant. We will be back whenever we visit the area!

Il Flamingo

Reviewed By pietro b b b

rustic interior; very good traditional Italian/Tuscan food. Lots of options for grilled meat or fish. Abundant portions. Impeccable service. Pizza and focaccette in the evening. pranzo di lavoro on weekdays. Note that this restaurant, Flamingo, tecently moved to Ponte all'Ania (Pedona) on the shore of the Ania river; before if was located near the shore of the Serchio river in the territory of Gallicano. The quality, if anything, has improved! Prices reasonable. Housewine very good. RECOMMENDED!

This is a very small restaurant with excellent food and service. We were extremely satisfied with everything we had and the service. Only four tables but wonderful food, magnificent service, and very reasonable prices. A leader of house wine was only seven euros and the meals were also very reasonably price. We had lamb chops and trout. We had an appetizer of salmon sashimi and asparagus with a cheese mousse. Everything was prepared and seasoned wonderfully and the people could not be more friendly. I would highly recommend this to be on your list if you’re in the area. The small size indicates reservation to avoid disappointment.

Ristorante Eliseo

Reviewed By FrankA646

My wife and I came to know Ristorante Eliseo by reading the great reviews on Trip Advisor. We decided to give it a try and found the reviews were spot on! The food was well presented and delicious. The family that runs this local establishment is very friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome. We highly recommend Eliseo and look forward to returning!Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We look forward to working with you again in the future!

Osteria al Ritrovo del Platano

Reviewed By saxorob

Wonderful, wonderful food. Great service and just a fantastic evening. The best filet I've ever had in my life is US $15. House wine is fantastic, and the owner's daughter waits on you. My only wish is that we didn't find this place on our last night in town, because we would have eaten here every night! If you're staying at the Renaissance hotel, come here for your meals. It's so much more authentic, and half the price. Note: we also saw the opening time of 5:00pm that the prior commenter mentioned. This is a Google error though. The restaurant never mentions this anywhere. They may want to contact Google to get it corrected, but it's certainly not there fault :) The restaurant opens at 7:30 like every other one in town.

L'osteria

Reviewed By MartyFi

Been here a few times and never disappointed. Absolutely outstanding quality food and local produce. It does seem to get a few tables bigger every year but no wonder, everyone wants to eat here!Particular favourite is the sausage with beans...this is just fantastic. Great wine list and friendly, smiling staff.

Small, historical shop, with a bar / cafe / wine bar, where you can enjoy a snack or frugal meals based on traditional quiches, bruschetta, salads, meats and cheeses of the highest quality, as well as homemade cakes and pies. Outdoor seating in the charmi

Da Aristo is unique; it is more than a bar. From morning coffee and pastry, lunchtime snack, afternoon aperitivo, evening entertainment to late night drink, Aristos has it all. Lorenzo, Giovanni, Antonella and Federica are always welcoming and attentive.

Scacciaguai

Ate here on Sunday with friends. All four of us like different things, so we gave the menu a bit of a working over. Everything was great, and the service was relaxed, friendly and efficient. Didn’t break the bank either!

Il Ristoro del Venturo

Reviewed By G2145BXmariac

We spent only one night there, but we would highly recommend it: the restaurant and the apartment were just amazing. And what was really surprising was the service: we arrived there late in the evening (around 10 pm) and they asked us what we wanted to eat, so they prepare a delicious salad with some antipasti, which was heaven for us. The attention was super, the place absolutely peaceful and charming.
