Awards Candidates 2019

18/10/2025: Refined atmosphere with very courteous and professional staff. Having several allergies, this was the first time I've enjoyed a full tasting menu, from entree to dessert. All dishes were delicious and beautifully plated. A special mention goes to the tongue on creamed broccoli with caramelized onions, almonds, and lemon marmalade. The coconut cremino with caramelized pineapple was also spectacular.

18/10/2025: Everything was excellent The truffle tasting was fabulous.

17/09/2025: It's been a long time since I've felt so uncomfortable. We dropped in by chance to chat with a friend, but we had to leave earlier than expected because we felt like we were being watched the whole time and weren't free to talk. The only positive thing was the cappuccino, but personally, I wouldn't order it so overflowing from the cup because it's impossible not to spill it while drinking. The customer service approach needs to be reconsidered.

09/09/2025: Nice coffee shop on the main road. And the best cappuccino in Tuscany.

19/10/2025: A genuine confirmation... it's now a rule... every year the meeting with lifelong friends... an excellent place where hospitality and cleanliness are the backdrop to excellent cuisine😋🔝

19/10/2025: As always, hospitable and very kind. Everything was good, with great knowledge of wines.

30/09/2025: I recommend it, a very atmospheric place with delicious local wine. I didn't eat it.

07/09/2025: good food, shame about the wait

12/10/2025: 2025 and 2024 We were, of course, back here again and enjoyed the time and the food. The owner and chef has such a great Italian soul. Tutte bene & bravissimo It's worth being a regular there again. Greetings from Tedesco Frantoio and see you soon in 2026, Scusa. Unfortunately, we're not open as often anymore and therefore booked up. Ciao ragazzi We visited DaSandrino frequently in 2018. It was always exceptionally good. The beef with pepper sauce was particularly special. The side dishes were excellent. And the atmosphere and service had a rustic Italian feel. Unfortunately, none of this quality is present this year. The beef is only available for two people. The beef is now served on the bone and is more raw than cooked. Trimming the bone isn't for everyone. With the current staff changes, the service has fallen short, and a great deal of friendliness has been lost. What has retained its village character? The new prices on the menu. They've increased by a good 15%, and so that you don't forget, the old prices have been crossed out or overwritten by hand. Positive... Yes. The chef briefly wandered over to our table, but only because his friends were sitting next door. A shame and a shame. I don't think we can recommend you at the moment. Micha

12/10/2025: The menu is a bit outdated, the mixed appetizer seemed a bit too expensive for what they served, and the steak was tough. And by the way, my dog, who you made a fuss about, is more polite than many of the customers you have sitting inside.

26/09/2025: Lovely authentic Tuscan dishes in the best authentic surroundings with the most beautiful view. Highly recommended.

06/09/2025: A place with a beautiful view in Vellano, in the Swiss Pescia region. Authentic, homemade food. The first courses were delicious, especially the white wild boar sauce (I ordered the trio), and for the second course, the pigeon stuffed with sausage and potatoes was truly divine. The only slightly weaker aspect were the desserts, which we weren't entirely sold on (the torta della nonna and the fruit tart). Kudos to them for not having sugary carbonated drinks. I have to return for the fried foods and the rest.

19/10/2025: An experience to remember! Excellent meat, cooked to perfection, in a warm, family-friendly atmosphere where you truly feel at home. A genuine, friendly welcome, just like among friends. And the dessert? Simply amazing! 🍷🔥

19/09/2025: Excellent meat, excellent service, excellent location. Well done.

27/09/2025: A wonderful place. I went for dinner with my partner one evening in late September. We ate inside, in a simple and delightful room, warmed by a stove. The set menu included an appetizer of cured meats, cheeses, and compotes (homemade), two first courses (cheese gnocchi and tagliatelle with mushrooms), a second course (wild boar peppered pasta), and two side dishes (green beans and potatoes), dessert (freshly made ricotta fritters served warm), a bottle of house red, water, bread, and fried bread. €56 for two. Also suitable for vegetarians (I'm vegetarian and found them to be extremely welcoming and accommodating). Perfect timing, efficient and no-frills service. It's unbelievably good. If you're in the area, don't miss it, but know that it's also worth a detour. I was extremely happy to leave a tip: places like this are rare these days. Thank you for making us feel so good!

13/09/2025: Enchanting location, option of an hour-long hike in the woods, set menu, plentiful and perfectly cooked. Very friendly staff. Fair price. The upstairs dining room is beautiful.

11/09/2025: Excellent experience. To be repeated.

05/09/2025: The food was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Prices, as is often the case in Italy, remain quite high. As for the service, one of the waitresses was a bit rude, and conversation with her wasn't pleasant at all, as she responded in an annoyed manner.
