La Dispensa In San romano in garfagnana

14/10/2025: The restaurant was highly recommended to us, but unfortunately, the evening left us somewhat perplexed. Overall, one could describe it as "uninspiring." There were only four tables occupied, yet we received neither particularly friendly nor attentive service. Our request for drinks came very late, and only once. The steak tartare is prepared at the table for show, but unfortunately, it's first minced in the kitchen, and the tendons aren't removed. The tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms tasted very uninspiring. The tiramisu was okay.

04/10/2025: We’ve dined here twice, and both times the food, service and atmosphere were all very good. It’s a cosy, hospitable room and service was attentive and helpful, especially with things like the wine list although with hindsight I would love to have been asked how I wanted my beef cooked. Both beef dishes I had were fantastic - both in flavour and cooking. Truffles were generous and wines were excellent at the price point. Highly recommended.
