La Cantinetta di Rignana In Greve in chianti

04/12/2025: I don’t give 5 stars, but we went last night and I was very happy. We had a reservation at 730 and there was a scrum at the entrance as they let in everyone at the same time, a bit weird, but everyone was in good spirits. The waiter was great, explained everything we asked, my wife doesn’t take rare meat, so unfortunately, we didn’t have the Florentine steak, but we ordered the Vegetable “soup”, crostini, grilled vegies, veal and sirloin steak (we asked for medium). The crostini was liked by my wife, who enjoys liver and tolerable by me. The vegetable soup was surprising as it’s not what you expect from a soup, but tasted good. Grilled vegies was a meh. But the steak and ESPECIALLY the veal was amazing! Cooked to medium perfectly and the fat rendered so well! Melt in your mouth, we finished the entire thing down to its bone! When the waiter asked if everything was good, we could only point to the empty plates! I never give 5 stars, but this place gets 5 stars! Thoroughly enjoyable! We spent €106 for 3 people, the bread was free (usually the mark of a tourist trap!)

03/12/2025: What a lovely dinner at Il Latini. Food We had the roasted pigeon and beef filet for our 1st dinner in Florence. The roasted pigeon was seasoned well and flavourful. That said, I thought the pigeon may have been slightly overdone. The beef filet was divine and cooked to perfection. We loved it. We paired the 2 mains with grilled vegetables. We also had the tomato and bread soup. The soup felt authentically tuscan. While the name of the dish appears simple, we felt warmth in our hearts as if we were eating a dish cooked by our grandmothers. For dessert, we had tiramisu. Please try if you are there for a meal. Do not skip this dessert. Service was excellent, attentive and efficient. Reservations recommended, if possible. We arrived at the restaurant about 15-20mins before dinner service started. There was already a queue. Restaurant is popular and quite busy.
