What a lovely surprise! Our last night in Chianti we were told about this hard to find gem. The atmosphere is elegant and the food is made to match. the wine selection is plentiful and the service was appropriately elegant and friendly. I would go back again and again. The food was fresh, original yet local and beautifully presented. It... More

Sonia and Francesco have figured out that some people tired of trattoria food would like to upgrade to one Michelin star fare without giving up the view, the wood-and-stone decor and the Tuscan ingredients. That's where they hit their stride. Best primi piatti? Definitely Crespelle farcite di porri e “ rosmarina “ di cinta senese su vellutata di Parmigiano profumato... More

It's a regular restaurant with really fancy food. Everything was cooked specially and with sophistication. The place doesn't look so upscale but the price on the menu would make you raise your eyebrows :)

When we paid our bill they hardly even acknowledged us. It really was a disappointment. The food was tasty but I think I would spend my money... More

A truly lovely restaurant for those special occasions. We celebrated our Anniversary, hospitality, graciousness, & dinner with an Italian flair was the centerpiece of the evening. The chef is exceptional, along with the staff.

It is a typical Tuscan atmosphere inside. We were 6 people all and everybody tried different things, the duck, pasta, meat..and we all were pleased, wine list was good... More

The place is stunning (what's new in Chianti?) and the tables were unusually graciously appointed. The menu however, was... More

The staff at the Albergaccio were most attentive and gracious and held our reservation when we were delayed in coming from Siena. The presentation for each course was thoughtful and beautiful. Each of our group of 8 commented on the quality of the meal and the wine. The terrace was a welcome refuge from the heat. It had been about... More

the selection of starters was more original than the usual bruschetta + pate + lard. The wines served by the glass all of a good level.
