Casale Santo Stefano In Grosseto

19/10/2025: Excellent classy place with special food, price not for everyone, top location

18/10/2025: We dined today at Bacco & Cerere at Via Giuseppe Mazzini 4 in Saturnia, after meeting chef Fabio Vallini by chance in the market square, and he treated us to his restaurant despite the dog ban. What can I say? It was simply an outstanding experience. From the very first moment, we received a warm welcome, and the ambiance is elegant yet casual – perfect for a special day, but without a stuffy atmosphere. The cuisine is impressive across the board: The dishes combine traditional Tuscan ingredients with creative touches. We particularly remember the Menu al Tartufo and the Menu Degustazione Bacco & Cerre, wonderfully aromatic and featuring carefully selected meats, as well as the Tagliolini al tartufo, where the flavor of truffles and pasta perfectly harmonize. According to the current menu, this delight does come at a price (e.g., Tagliolini al tartufo is around €25), but the quality justifies every cent. The service team was attentive, friendly, and competent: wine and food recommendations were presented with passion and expertise. The wine and menu suggestions clearly demonstrated the importance of creating a harmonious overall experience. Other guests also emphasized this high quality: for example, "Excellent food, carefully prepared, with a choice of ingredients" in a recent review. The location in the center of Saturnia makes the visit even more pleasant—ideal after an excursion or a day of wellness in the surrounding area. Prices are in the upper mid-range, which seems absolutely reasonable for such quality. In short: If you're in Saturnia and are looking for excellent Tuscan cuisine with a gourmet touch, Bacco & Cerere is the place to be. We will definitely be back. A big thank you to everyone for this wonderful experience.
