24/06/2025: What an experience. Food, amazing! Service, amazing! Price, amazing. We had asked in a juweler-store in San Gimignano where it would be best to eat. It should be good italian food, not to touristy, not to high-class. They immediately recommended this restaurant. And what a treat it was!!! Extremely, extremely high quality and sitting outside in the yard; it felt like sitting at a friend's garden. If you want a real experience in San Gimignano; go here for dinner. It is an absolute joy!!

23/06/2025: We are from Verona and we had dinner in this restaurant during a short vacation in San Gimignano. Intimate and refined atmosphere, quality raw materials and expertly prepared that give life to dishes with very successful creative combinations. Attentive, friendly and professional service. Very interesting wine list, we drank a good Vermentino di toscana. Really good

05/07/2025: Fascinating place, authentic and excellent quality cuisine, highly recommended!

29/06/2025: Il Papavero offers classic Tuscan dishes. The dishes are beautifully presented, with a focus on flavor and balance. Perfect, friendly service in a quiet, peaceful setting.

30/06/2025: The Daria restaurant, with its glorious tradition, is renewed with a new young management. We appreciated it for its tasty innovations and for its respect for continuity. Everything is excellent, especially the meats and the first courses. The wine list remains of a high level. Well done

28/06/2025: A quaint restaurant with friendly staff and great local food. We had a great experience and would recommend to try. Parking is close with an easy walk.

14/06/2025: We went to this family-run restaurant and the thing that struck us the most was the welcome: very kind staff, always attentive in asking if everything was ok. A special thanks to the lady who even gave us some garlic, with a spontaneous and truly appreciated gesture. About the food, maybe not everything met our tastes, but the commitment and kindness that they put into it still deserve a positive note. A place where you can feel that they work with their heart.

13/06/2025: Food was great. Lucky to have walked in and grabbed a table when they opened. It is very small. Only 8(?) tables. My wife still raves about the Gnocchi. It was the best she has ever had! Chocolate cake was expensive, but was worth it! Really amazing!!!! Wish I could take this restaurant home!!! You must try.

12/06/2025: Bruschetta very good, mega quality of food, classic Tuscan, delicious restaurant, very nice service, I serve bread with olive oil and pickled garlic as a treat (for free), delicious bean soup, fresh olive oil, and best of all very cheap

15/06/2025: In this tavern my husband and I ate typical local dishes, one better than the other, even aesthetically they are a beautiful sight. The service and courtesy of the managers will make us return to this place for sure... Michela and Roberto🔝❤️

13/06/2025: We had a delicious meal here, highly recommended!!

28/05/2025: The first time I had lunch at the Galleria taking the fish tasting menu 60.00 euros badly spent. I'm sorry a disappointment

20/05/2025: A beautiful experience, with a lovely atmosphere and Tuscan cuisine. A visit to the village of Poggibonsi is highly recommended.

19/06/2025: We had a lovely dinner here — four adults and two children. The menu offers a great variety of interesting local Tuscan dishes. It’s amazing to be able to taste recipes from the Middle Ages while living in the 21st century. As for the food quality, to be honest, I didn’t find anything truly unique or extraordinary. However, if you’re curious to explore medieval Tuscan cuisine, this is a great place to do it. I highly recommend the soup — the tartare was absolutely wonderful, and so was the crostino.

08/06/2025: If you are looking for the maximum taste and authenticity that this part of the Tuscany region can offer, you absolutely must not miss the "La solita zuppa" restaurant. The quality of the ingredients, the skill with which they are combined together, the elegance of the service and the intimate atmosphere, cared for in the smallest details, will leave you speechless. There is no other place in the area that offers the same quality/price ratio, nor that reinterprets the typical flavors of the place so well without altering the millenary tradition. In short, a stop that is absolutely obligatory if you pass by these parts. Enjoy your meal!

10/06/2025: Awesome food: one of the best pasta we had in Italy so far. Service: our server was professional and friendly. Wine: don’t mark up too much and had a great selection. Atmosphere: it was cozy, special, we all loved it. This restaurant has Michelin star since 2007. We counted it and I think they only missed couple years and won every single year after. We are not surprised since their food is spectacular.

08/06/2025: Gosh what an experience! This restaurant deserves all it's praise! The food was outstanding, I am still blown away by how tasty it was! The boar cooked in wine and milk for hours was especially good. The staff were all friendly and executed their jobs very well. I would recommend to anyone. Just be sure to book a table well in advance as they are very busy.

17/06/2025: Excellent restaurant! Excellent quality, divine flavors! I hope to be back in the area to return! Unique experience!

09/06/2025: We made a quick stop at the Hotel Galia for an espresso and received an incredibly warm welcome. The staff and owners are exceptionally friendly. We also had a chocolate mousse that was simply divine. I've rarely tasted anything so delicious. Thank you for this wonderful moment.
