La pecora nera Bottega gastronomica In Pienza

On Sunday in Pienza, we stopped in at this small but delightful restaurant without a reservation! The hosts welcomed us and spoiled us with their dishes, Enzo's ribollita and the platters of cured meats and cheeses, all accompanied by a good house wine. The prices were more than fair. We'll be back.

This is the best restaurant we visited in all of Tuscany! Wow, there aren't enough words to describe or convey the flavors of what we ate. We had pecorino cheese with reduced wine that was like jam, then we had pasta with truffles and gnocchi. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the sauce was, but it was the most delicious gnocchi I've ever had, and I'm really not exaggerating. Beyond that, the service was wonderful and the atmosphere in the restaurant was really pleasant. If you're in the area, you simply can't miss it.

I had the best lasagna in the world at this restaurant! The flavors were incredible, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with love and quality ingredients. The place was warm and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was good, but we had to wait over an hour to receive our dishes.

Delicious food and friendly owners. Small and charming, definitely recommend :D

Delicious homemade food. Incredibly friendly owners. The best eggplant parmesan I've ever had—I ordered two.

Best meal we’ve had in Italy by far. Lasagna was a highlight. Amazing service also - I am really confused by the comments which reference rude owners or service staff. This is a small, family run restaurant, and the owners (chef and server, Italian couple) were incredibly friendly and sweet. Those who experienced said “rudeness” probably didn’t act in the best manner themselves..

Simply wonderful! Good food, lovely atmosphere.

Adorable! And Delicious. This little spot was such a gem we stumbled upon. The husband wife couple running the place are so cute. The lasagne was to die for. Their menu had some fun options. We were so grateful to find this place while wandering the town.

Stopped by and asked if they could make us four cheese and tomato panini. No exaggeration that this was the best panini I’ve ever tasted with ingredients so fresh and bursting with flavour. The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with our lack of Italian. A wonderful hidden gem of a place.
