10. Taverna di Bibbiano

Reviewed By FlowersBurke
We made reservations several months beforehand to insure a good table and were not disappointed. We arrived before the restaurant opened for lunch and were directed to stroll the grounds. This was a wonderful opportunity to see the rose gardens, lilac fields and other beautiful flowers and plantings that abound here. The view of San Gimignano in the distance is outstanding. Once we sat for lunch, we were treated to fantastic food and drink at a reasonable price. Only 10 minutes drive back to SG. Check the hours for the gift shop (closed in the afternoon).

Officina Della Cucina Popolare is a small understated restaurant but wow the pasta is good. We visited Colle Di Val D'elsa on our last day before flying home and popped in here for lunch - we weren't disappointed. They make their pasta fresh onsite and it was fabulous - we tried the gnudi pasta and the wild boar and it was certainly the best we had tasted during out trip.Sadly we only had time for a single course but enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine and soft drinks with our meal and the bill came to 80 Euros including the service (which was very good).It's a great restaurant and had we discovered it earlier during our trip I am sure that we would have popped back for dinner one evening.

Ristorante II Frantoio is a delightful find, tucked under ground just inside a small pizza after traveling through beautiful streets and a subterranean tunnel. Our meal was fantastic, complimented by the wine chosen from their extensive list with the knowledgable assistance of one of the restaurants owners. Very enjoyable experience.
7. Sbarbacipolla Biosteria

This "vegetarian" restaurant also has a limited number of meat dishes. Vegetarian restaurants are unusual for Tuscany, and not usually very good. Sparbacipolla is EXCELLENT !All recipes are original to the trattoria, and every one I tried (I dined there with friends on several occasions) are delicious. If you wish a break from the classic Tuscan dishes, and ever more prevalent "international" cuisine elsewhere, this friendly, relaxed place is for you. Food is home made and ingredients fresh, sourced from organic producers nearby. Prices are moderate, and service is friendly and efficient. You cannot go wrong.
6. Trattoria Bel Mi' Colle

Reviewed By TonySwiss
We started with a generous meat and cheese platter for two, including liver paté and snails alongside the more common ingredients. We continued with risotto with porcini, and having not read the menu properly were somewhat surprised to find bones in it; these were the remains of a dove, apparently added to give the stock a meaty robustness. Whatever the reason, the risotto was very good! We drank a good house wine, mineral water and coffee and paid Euro 65. A word about our hostess - very helpful and she spoke excellent English.

Located in the middle of nowhere, ~30 mis from Siena, we found this restaurant in Trip Advisor on our way from Siena to San Gimignano. The reviews were great and the place didn't disappoint. Unpretentious service with AMAZING food, adults and children satisfied, from the Pecorino cheese appetizer, through Ravioli Ragú and Penne Arrabbiata, to the grilled pork and beef, all cooked to perfection!!! Dolci and cafe also outstanding. We sat in the nice covered terrace which was airy and fresh during the hot mid-day hours. Totally recommended and worth a deviation if in the area.

Was in the area, and was looking for something to share with fellow "tourists" off the beaten track, and leaning towards the more pure local environment/ savors and tastes.. and thought I would give it a try! well... arrived and it was full.. so was ready for a sorry we are full, and bye bye. instead, was invited to wait 15 minutes, which I thought well why not....After 5 mins only, we were shown to a table, and menu was given... yes it is local as basic Italian is helpful, though not necessary.. it was busy but service was efficient, and timing between dishes, put perfect for a more relaxed lunch Italian style. Pasta dishes. well no comment, an array to pick all with definite local tastes, with a no frills portion, and could not "not" finish...., and the house red wine...(I recommend) help us along. we ordered steak grilled , and I had wild boar, and a mix grill plate, and had to try them all--- boar and steak excelled! greens and accompanying dishes (not order to many!!! as you have to leave some space for desert) Desert to finish off. overall I can say top marks, yes a no frill restaurant, filled with from what I could see locals, government officials, and truck drivers, and.-... yes us in minority "tourists".. a mix that could only determine a good result, well It was in fact more than good! and the price paid I would determine it as more that balanced for what we ate and its quality and service. So do try it! but it is not the Hilton!!! so don't come if you expect to be treated as a tourist, here you are just a customer, a valued customer at that! treated as a local! and pay like a local, what else could one want! I can do without the tourist shenanigans, this restaurant in on my return to list! Local ambiance, local food, but I give it a generous 5 star. I have great difficulty is seeing how one could not be more that happy here... we were and I will return!

Lovely little place for an authentic Tuscan lunch. We stopped here our way to another village and were kindly welcomed by the owner. After spending 3 days in Tuscany I finally felt like I was actually here experiencing the lovely home made fresh food, with the sound of the animals in the background on the sunny but shaded terrace. Nothing flash but just pure authentic quality food. Great affordable prices too!!!

Reviewed By Darren B
We visited this restaurant twice during our holiday in Tuscany. The menu is kept small so that everything is made to perfection. We loved everything we ate and drank. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and helped us decide what to have. The ambience is cosy and quite romantic so great for couples but it is just as perfect for small groups - it seems like one of those places that locals would enjoy as much as visitors to the area. Would recommend this restaurant 100%.
