La Cantina Del Ritrovino In Castiglione della pescaia

23/12/2025: Here, "almost everything" is still made by hand. Run by genuine older locals, you're also served by them. Very friendly and authentic.

06/12/2025: I stopped by Osteria Il Cinquino for lunch, and I have to say the place has a quiet, simple atmosphere. You can only eat outside, which is nice on nice days, though its location, practically on the roundabout, can be a bit noisy: when a heavy vehicle passes by, the noise interrupts the tranquility a bit. Nothing dramatic, but it's good to know. The food is the best part of lunch: excellent dishes, clearly homemade, with authentic flavors you can't find everywhere. And above all, the prices are incredibly low compared to what they offer. Honestly, quality like this at that price is hard to find. During lunch, I also had the company of several cats roaming freely in the outdoor area. They're discreet, don't get too close, but they make the atmosphere even more welcoming. In short: a simple, good, affordable lunch in a place with character. Traffic aside, I think it gets a thumbs up.
