Il Colombaio di Mariva Benucci In Casole d'elsa

16/03/2026: A very welcoming and well-maintained restaurant with parking. Very helpful staff. Excellent food made with fresh, local ingredients. A healthy menu is available. Excellent meats, homemade desserts, and a good wine list with a selection of French wines. Fairly priced for the area.

01/03/2026: Four of us tried this restaurant for lunch/a stop during a trip. The place is very well-maintained, and the food was excellent. We ordered the chicken liver pâté, the pici all'aglione, the pici al ragù, and the guinea fowl tortelli in mushroom broth. The quality of the ingredients seems good. However, I think the prices aren't in line with the portions (6 tortelli for €22, pici all'aglione €16). Perhaps it would be helpful to offer a tasting menu. What's unthinkable is the Breton butter served with the bread. In Tuscany, needless to say, you expect olive oil, especially from a restaurant whose website states: "Our cuisine follows simple rules: Tuscan tradition and seasonality." The staff is welcoming but unprofessional; I didn't appreciate the rush to clear the table when the livers were still in the center.
