In the last few years I have had dinner at this restaurant a few times. The location is charming, the garden, attractive, the decor elegant and the chairs rather uncomfortable.The surprise lies with the food which can be either good or less than mediocre.The reason is that good chefs tend to quit and they therefore keep promoting ambitious sous chefs. These young chefs want to emerge and try very hard but unfortunately the result is simply not good. On the last occasion there was a loathsome touch of nouvelle added to traditional dishes. The raviolis were hard and tasteless, the cod was "decorated" with balsamic vinegar, the eggplant mousse tasteless and the dessert made you regret you had asked for it. What a pity considering that service was kind and friendly and the Chianti Classico was delectable!

Il Ristoro di Ama is set in a Tuscan house with antique furniture and modern elements. It's a wonderful way to try the wines of Castello di Ama paired with fantastic cuisine. Tuesday closed.

We made an email reservation for lunch about a month in advance because we wanted an outdoor table on the terrace. When we visited, in early October, many tables were available so we could have easily walked in as well. Once seated outdoors, we were suprised to find that the terrace didn't have a view, as other's have stated in their reviews. The terrace had an internal view of the hamlet buildings with white drapery blocking the intense sun. Even in October the sun was blaring hot, too hot to sit outside at midday. We requested to move inside and were quickly accomodated.The indoor dining area is split up into many lovely rooms decorated with modern touches. We loved the juxtaposition of the extremely old historic castle decorated with modern lighting, furniture, fabrics, etc.The lunch menu was great; so many items to choose from. We wanted to order them all!Outstanding dishes were the lasagna and beef cheeks stewed in red wine. Oh, and the wine is incredible! We each ordered different wines by the glass to accompany our lunch because we wanted to sample them all.After lunch, we went down to the Enoteca to try a glass of the L'apparita, which we shared overlooking the vineyard. The Enoteca faces the vineyard, however, the lunch terrace did not. Definitely save time to stroll around the tiny medieval hamlet. It's it truly gorgeous!.The experience was first class and we will definitely go back on our next trip to Chianti Classico region. It was one of the top memorable meals of our trip.Also, you can buy candles and room frangrances in the Enoteca Shop to take home!This restaurant is not for the tourist masses; it's a unique experience!

During our recent stay at Borgo Argenina, our host Elena Nappa arranged for a special dinner at this wonderful restaurant. "Giorgio" picked us up at our villa and drove us to the restaurant, unknown to us at the moment that he was also the Chef! Giorgio served a 5-course dinner, including a meat, cheese, olives and bread appetizer, followed by pasta with truffles, then "rocket" salad, pork and potatoes, and finally dessert. Every dish was "bursting with flavor"! In particular, the pasta with truffles was one of the best dishes I have ever eaten! Along with the delicious dinner was wonderful red wine that was an excellent complement to the meal. Thank you Giorgio for preparing this amazing dinner! Anyone staying in the area should take the opportunity to enjoy a meal with Giorgio!

We spent a delightful afternoon lunching on the terrace of the restaurant at Badia a Coltibuono. The view and ambience canât be beaten. The cuisine was superb, the service excellent and the wine perfect. If you want a true Tuscan/Chianti experience you couldnât do better than this. And very close to Radda. Donât miss the excellent gift shop on the road as you depart the grounds.

Little to add to the last dozen or so reviewers who loved this charming restaurant; totally agree. Almost gave up hope of finding it, but gritted teeth and kept going; the enticement at the last stage was catching a view of the classic hill village of Barbischio where this jewel is found. I was received by the owner with warmth, despite having no booking. Both the tortellini and the cheesecake were evidence of loving care in the kitchen; freshly prepared, mouthwatering. Hope no one reads the reviews, or there will be no table available if I return without a booking.

This is an average restaurant serving basic local dishes. Fine if you are local, but not worth a special visit. Maybe we were disappointed after all the glowing previous reviews. It is OK, but not special. There are better restaurants a few miles away.
