Il Pettirosso In Palaia

We are currently (end of September 2025) in Tuscany – so after the season – and live near Palaia. We already know "Il Pettirosso" from previous vacations in Tuscany and we always enjoy going there. Table reservations are highly recommended, even in the off-season, as the beautiful garden isn't large enough at sunset and there are only limited seating options. Dogs are also welcome and are provided with water. As always, we had a wonderful meal this week. For starters, we had two bruschettas each, followed by a calzone for my wife and penne arrabiata for me. For dessert, we had two espressos and a tiramisu. We drank half a liter of Vino Bianco della Casa. All together, it came to just 53 euros. Very good quality at more than fair prices. The service was also excellent; we were served very well by two young waiters. The ambiance isn't quite as pleasant as in summer, when you can enjoy the sunset on the terrace around 9 p.m. But for us, it's still full marks, and we'll definitely be back for dinner in the remaining days. Thank you very much! PS: These prices should make many constantly complaining restaurateurs in Germany blush. Where can you get half a liter of open wine for 5 euros here?

A fantastic place; the food is delicious, the view beautiful, and the service friendly! Highly recommended; I had a wonderful meal and relaxed there!

Been here a while ago, recently returned, and will return again. Well done!

Very good restaurant with delicious food and a great view. Highly recommended!

The food was delicious. It's recommended to reserve a table if you want to eat there. Although we went there with five people without a reservation, the restaurant was very busy, and a reservation is highly recommended.

Ate super delicious pizza! The restrooms are in need of some repair, but otherwise everything is great!

The price-performance ratio was very good. The service was friendly and able to speak English. We didn't have a reservation, but we still managed to get a table for nine people. The menus were in English.

Hello, The food was truly perfect – fresh, authentic, and simply delicious. We also really enjoyed the ambiance; you immediately feel at home. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. We've read some German comments in other reviews, which reveal some misunderstandings: In Italy, some things are done differently than in Germany. For example, you don't ask for the bill at the table, but simply go to the cashier after your meal to pay. Portion sizes are also traditionally somewhat different in Italy – but the quality and taste are all the more impressive. Of course, you can tell that a lot of tourists eat here, but the restaurant is still very welcoming, authentic, and highly recommended. For us, it was an all-round lovely visit – we'd love to come back!

Great experience. We had dinner at sunset with beautiful views. The wild boar papardele is especially recommended. The tiramisu is also very good. We were served by a very friendly waitress who spoke native English and was very helpful. We hope to return soon!

Location curata, si può mangiare fuori e la sera d’estate si sta freschi. I bagni fatiscenti sono da rifare. Personale molto lento. Per antipasto è una pizza abbiamo aspettato tantissimo anche solo per ordinare. Cibo e prezzi nella media. Da migliorare.
