Il Porrina In Casole d'elsa

17/03/2026: On Saturday evening, we had dinner at this restaurant, which we'd known for years. We ate well; the only complaint was the "cacio e pepe" pici, which was just cheese; there was no pepper at all, but that can happen. The only downside, however, was the bill, which I hadn't checked at checkout because we had guests. When I returned to the hotel and read the receipt, I noticed that the "welcome appetizer" brought to the table while we waited for the appetizer was ultimately charged as a "peasant cover charge." We're talking only €3 per person, but it seemed like something the restaurant offered while we waited for the main course. What really shocked me, however, was that they charged us €17 for three (three in total) pieces of pork ribs (the dish was listed on the receipt as "ribs and sausages - only ribs"). For the sake of clarity, when my wife ordered, she had asked for four spare ribs, in addition to the "rosemary tagliata" (priced at €18.00). After the tagliata, she was brought a small plate with three pieces of spare ribs (instead of the four requested, but for goodness sake, it can happen). It was really just a taste, not even a half portion. And this "taste" cost us €17. That seems like a huge outrage to me. And I don't think it was an oversight on the part of the restaurant, because the dish was listed on the bill as "ribs and sausages - only spare ribs"... You did a good job; it's a real shame to lose out on these things.
