I was dining alone and made a phone reservation based on other reviews, but when I first entered the restaurant I though I had made a mistake, The restaurant was completely empty at 8.30 on a Friday evening. However, the waitress was very welcoming so I sat down. I needn't have worried, the room was soon buzzing with some Italian... More

We ate here on Easter Sunday so the place was busy but the friendly service never let us down, bringing good food and filling our glasses. The chef went around the tables offering second helpings of the main course and, with coffee left glasses and a bottle of grappa on the table. the food was traditional fare but all the... More

A family run restaurant which is in the beautiful town of Chiusi in Toscana. All around the town one is reminded of the Great Etruscans and their amazing civilisation. We have eaten at this restaurant four times. It is simple but delicious food. One can taste the freshness of each ingredient! Really good food. A very impressive cellar- if they... More

This is one of the 3 best Ristorante's in Chiusi. Great food, service and price. Very smal town but as most Itialian Restorante's family owned. Dinner for 4 with a bottle of wine was under 100 euro.

Ristorante Zaira was a great choice in Chisui. The atmosphere is charming and the service is excellent. The food is Tuscan/Umbrian home cooking. Everything we had was in season, very fresh, and served as prepared so that no dish was either lukewarm or overcooked which always is a treat. The wine list was wonderful, but we chose the house red... More

A friendly atmosphere, a wonderful presentation of typically prepared Tuscan home cooking
