La Mangiatoia In Follonica

The best trattoria in Follonica and the surrounding area. We've been going there for decades. Delicious traditional Tuscan food. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Characteristic place, good value for money

Excellent in everything, both for the food and the prices, in addition to the very kind and polite staff.

We finally found a very kind and inviting restaurant! The moment you enter, you smell the wood burning in the fire and feel like you’re about to enjoy a grill in the middle of a jungle. You can hear a family talking in the kitchen — it truly feels like a family-run place. They don’t speak English, but communication is easy and friendly 😊. The food was perfect, and the atmosphere was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant! 👍

A restaurant just outside Follonica, serving hearty meat and fish specialties. The staff is exceptionally friendly! The quality (and quantity) for the price is more than adequate.

Exceptional food. Large portions, excellent quality, and the wood-fired grill topping it all. A rustic Tuscan restaurant with enormous potential, but neglected and with poor service. Often crowded. Good value. Overall, highly recommended for the food; it's definitely worth it.

Penne al granchio—it doesn't get any better than this. Superlative home cooking. Our favorite restaurant for 17 years.

A restaurant just a few kilometers from the center of Follonica, with outdoor tables under spectacular exposed brick vaults and indoor tables for cooler evenings. The staff was friendly and courteous. We sat outside on a perfectly warm evening. We ate a delicious cured meats appetizer, a special grilled sausage, very good spit-roasted chicken, and a delicious, perfectly cooked tagliata with arugula and parmesan. We were about to finish when four people (aged between 30 and 35) sat at a table next to ours, smoking steadily, oblivious to the young people around them (including ours behind them). So we passed on the idea of ​​ordering some wonderful desserts, having certainly seen them arrive at the neighboring tables. When we went to pay and reported the incident, the owner couldn't quite apologize for something that wasn't her fault, and VERY kindly offered us a limoncino and even a discount on the bill. Ultimately, aside from the unfortunate experience of having customers smoking at your table while you're dining, the place/location is very nice, all the staff are courteous and helpful, the food we ate was very good and the quality/price ratio was fair, so I recommend it.

Beautiful location, although it could be more upscale. Friendly service and good food. Excellent value for money.

We ate very well, but aside from the lack of friendliness (few smiles at the customers), seeing people smoking nearby, on the grill, and on the patio in front of the tables and at the entrance to the restaurant wasn't pleasant. Another flaw? We waited forever for a plate of cold cuts and cheeses.
