This small restaurant is very sympathetic and welcoming. Pretty good food and reasonable prices. The "house wine" is simple, fine and inexpensive. Attention is also good and nice.

Small, family run and delicious. The gnocchi are like nothing you've ever had, delicate and light and they won't tell you what is in the sauce. Ditto for the pici: great pasta, and the sauce is a mixture of pesto and some kind of meat sauce.Try the ravioli also. Good selection of wines (some from San Felice) at good prices.

This restaurant was a nice cozy place just down the street from our apartment and was highly recommended by the check in person. Upon arriving, we noticed it was quite small but did not affect us too much. The menu is in Italian so might need some explanation which our server did not mind. The antipasti starter is excellent as... More

I've been to this restaurant a coupe of times and it is always a pleasant experience and always busy. It's deceptively large, with a downstairs area. The menu is pretty large and I don't think there is an English translation (it's been a yer since I've been here so this may have changed). Both meals I've had here have been... More

A small and cozy restaurant a little bit outside of the city center. We had a "primi piatti" and a "secondi piatti", both were really excellent but far too much for a lunch time! So unless, you are really hungry, I would recommend an appetizer and a "primi" OR a "secondi piatti". I have seen someone else getting a steak... More

I came here recommended by the B&B where I was staying. It is a small, homely 'grandma' restaurant. The service is good and the waitress gave good advice. I wanted to have both gnocchi and ribollita but she said that the portion are quite big. So I ended up to have only the ribollita. She was right. It was definitely... More

Ordered chicken-grilled. It was unseasoned and extremely plain. At the end they bring complimentary grappa--which was a nice touch. My husbands food was very simple as well versus the complex flavors we had in other places. Wouldn't go there again.

We were recommended to this restaurant by our hotel. We were dissapointed. It is a small, restaurant, somewhat far from downtown. Food was "OK". Nothing special. Lots of it -- perhaps a good choice for a very hungry traveller.

The menu holds a fine selection of the cuisine of Toscana. This is a place to go if you wish to experience what the traditional dishes of the region really taste like. Don't miss the pici. The atmosphere has a very pleasant family feel to it. In a nutshell, grandioso!
