La Perla del Palazzo In Radda in chianti

20/06/2026: Great ambience and service, truly lovely staff. The food was honestly very underwhelming. It was mostly nicely plated dishes but bland. We had a raw dish appetizer with an herb sauce, it was fine, fish was fresh but needed some salt and acid. The pasta in brodo was the star, actually no complaints there. The special of the day was a red snapper with a butter clam sauce and it was quite terrible. Fish was not cooked well, felt like it was out waiting to be taken to the table for too long. The clam butter sauce curdled and didn’t even taste clams. An expensive restaurant that delivers on ambience and service but you would likely have a better meal from a to-go pizza store.
