Il Colle E In Barberino di mugello

Truly special and delicious meat. Definitely worth trying!

FABULOUS ITALIAN LUNCH ! This was our first visit to Europe and at this point we were about half way through our 2 week vacation in beautiful Italy. Our private limo driver Martin ( arranged by our travel agent ) picked us up at the Hotel Berchielli in Florence at 9am in the morning for the 110 km drive to our Airbnb apartment in Bologna....home for the next 3 days. Martin who is a dead ringer for the ultra famous John Belushi ( also from Albania ) made the scenic drive through the tranquil Italian countryside totally enjoyable for us. BEAUTIFUL SCENERY ! In fact what should have been a 2 hour plus drive turned into over 4 hours with our unscheduled diversions. Along the way we stopped at a fashion outlet mall and an electronics store inside a huge shopping mall to buy a few things we needed. LUNCH ! Martin said he would take us to one of his fav restaurants for delicious sandwiches. AND HE DID ! One of the things we were hoping to experience during our Italian vacation was lunch at some place off the tourist map. AND THIS WAS IT ! This restaurant was in the middle of nowhere to us but very familiar to Martin who lived in Florence. There was a huge selection of delicious looking panino ( flatbread ) sandwiches, full wine racks along the walls, a pizza restaurant upstairs ( evenings only ) and a virtual Italian supermarket. We all ordered PANINO SANDWICHES with different fillings. My wife also ordered an ESPRESSO and a slice of CHOCOLATE CAKE. I grabbed a bottle of ITALIAN PALE ALE from a fridge. VERY NICE ! The guy behind the counter opened it and gave me a chilled stem glass as I requested. Our fresh made fully loaded panino sandwiches tasted outstanding....as good as it gets ! My ice cold fruity Pale Ale tasted very refreshing. Meanwhile the restaurant was getting busier by the minute...no doubt a very popular local lunch spot. DESSERT ! My wife totally enjoyed her rich tasting Chocolate Cake slice. Martin and I loved our decadent CHOCOLATE & PISTACHIO CORNETTOS. In fact Martin paid for them. My wife bought half a slab of fresh made panino flatread to take with us....and it still made a delicious sandwich a day or two later. WE TOTALLY LOVED OUR ITALIAN LUNCH !

Located right at the Barberino di Mugello motorway exit – bar, restaurant, cafeteria, shop – all easily accessible – paninis and shopping available around the clock. Better than Autogrill! Top-quality products and very friendly service! We've been there many times. It's always our lifesaver in the afternoon when hunger strikes.

Positive experience, attentive, also a wide selection of gluten free options

We returned for another pizza with friends at this place, which is both a restaurant, a pizzeria (separate from the restaurant), and a shop where you can buy local products. The pizzeria doesn't have a wide selection, but I have to say the pizza was very good and beautiful. Overall, I'd say we were satisfied.

Nice place, great food, friendly and quick service

A very elegant and welcoming place, with extremely friendly and professional staff. The cuisine is excellent, with an excellent grill offering a wide variety of quality meats, expertly prepared. The quality-price ratio is definitely satisfactory.

Kind, professional and very good

We discovered the restaurant by chance through social media and were immediately struck by the warmth the place exudes. We found the meat very good and the service attentive and precise. Highly recommended. The meat was simply delicious.

A wonderful experience! Highly recommended. Mrs. Paola was very kind and professional. We'll be back.
