La Cantina da Caino In Monsummano terme

03/05/2026: Excellent experience. Quality and service are very good, and the chairs are comfortable.

02/05/2026: An astoundingly adventurous local culinary journey - not flawless, but certainly way above average & indeed very well priced. The beautiful interior is attractively matched externally..but the selfish smokers ruin any idea of dining al fresco being either safe.Or pleasant. What a shame. As a starter we shared the listed - as a Secondi - the vegetarian ‘Fargottino di Verdure’.i It was nearly perfect..just a little lacking in fluid lusciousness. My special of the day ‘Rolle di Conogilio’ was outstanding..but again a tad light on the saucing.The near prefect roasted potatoes were only lacking in salt- easy to remedy at table! & whilst my husband’s Tagliata di Manzo main was pretty good, it too seemed just a whisker ‘too dry’ ..but the meat itself was full-flavoured & tender. We enjoyed hugely the recommended local red wine Carmignno Villa Di Cepezzana’-& coming in at a reasonable price€28 this was such a pleasure to drink we ordered to share one serve of the immensely rich Tozzetti Di Cioccolato - why is red wine SO good with rich chocolate?!!!? Alas the coffee wasn’t stellar as it should’ve been..& part of this letdown wa# surely because they were using capsules…..but somehow we were unable to get across a supposedly simple double espresso with hot milk on the side order. Try as there did it just wasn’t right. But try they certainly did! Friendly professionalism + a calmly elegant (& house Muzak- free ) environment were huge pluses meaning this seasonally- influenced culinary destination is a winner on balance..& we’re coming back for lunch tomorrow > that says it all, eh? Recommended- with a few reservations. Ps Returning for lunch was also quite nice : but the few shortcomings experienced last night were still there - & the food was not quite as good as we’d hoped. Very ‘nice’ but not quite ‘resolved’ alas .. my Cannoli de Crespella wasn’t nuanced enough to give me joy - quite bland in fact . And my husband’s Maccheroni dull’ antra was a tad lacking also. 6.5/10. Sigh.
