Let me start by saying that it is not my habit to review places, but this time I wanted to make an exception... We like to experience a starred restaurant, and having one in the province was too good an opportunity to miss.... The place strikes you right from the entrance, for its cleanliness, order, accuracy and attention to detail in the choice of furnishings... We were welcomed by the Chef and owner Mr. Giacomo who immediately put us at ease and reserved a smaller room. very nice secluded place where the professional and diligent staff immediately took care of accommodating us and our dog... The cuisine is truly of the highest quality, the cellar very well stocked and the service absolutely up to par... We felt looked after and pampered throughout the evening... It was an exceptional experience at a more than reasonable price which I highly recommend to everyone and which I can't wait to repeat, trying a different tasting menu... F. G.

Restaurant with which chef Devoto brought the first star to this part of Tuscany on the border with Liguria!
Splendid location with some very well furnished rooms. The basic tasting route is full of flavors linked to the territory, with exceptional ideas that link vegetables and fish.

A cuisine of intense flavors and aromas, where the beauty of the dish translates into a fascinating sensorial experience. Being our first time, we tried the fish tasting menu. Everything excellent! I particularly like the valorization of vegetables and aromas in each dish. The place is very nice and the welcome is friendly. Gorgeous view. Must try again!

The vegetables are all from the restaurant's own garden located on the same property, the oil from the restaurant's own olive groves, and the herbs are also from the restaurant's own garden. The cuisine and service are excellent. The chef is an interesting creative, capable of creating a traditional Lunigiana dish like others reviewed without losing the authenticity and flavors of the local tradition. Another healthy and authentic flavor is the use of locally sourced ingredients. Recommended for an out-of-the-ordinary experience. The prices are higher than those of ordinary restaurants, but are very reasonable considering the freshness and healthy biology of the food are unparalleled.

La Locanda de Banchieri – An unforgettable starry experience
If you are looking for an extraordinary culinary experience, La Locanda de Banchieri in Fosdinovo, in Lunigiana, is an unmissable stop. This starred restaurant offers not only a journey into the authentic flavors of the area, but also a refined and welcoming environment, perfect for a special evening.
The atmosphere is elegant but relaxed, with impeccable service that immediately puts you at ease. If you have the chance, ask for a table on the veranda: the view is breathtaking and the natural context makes the experience even more magical.
The fish tasting menu is a true masterpiece, a succession of dishes with bright colors and intense flavours, expertly paired with carefully selected glasses. Each course tells the story of the restaurant's philosophy: 0 km ingredients, very fresh vegetables grown in the adjacent field and careful processing that enhances every single element. Homemade bread and focaccia complete the experience, adding that touch of authenticity that makes the difference.
La Locanda de Banchieri is not just a restaurant, but a journey into the flavors of Lunigiana, a sensorial experience that conquers at the first taste. An address to note and recommend to those looking for the best of Italian cuisine!

lunch for two on a beautiful sunny Sunday at the beginning of the year. a five-course tasting menu in a Michelin star restaurant for 80 euros is a truly excellent price, especially considering the level of the dishes. I would revise the interior decor a little, but apart from that I have to say it was a truly very pleasant experience.

Era da tempo che volevamo provare la cucina di questo locale. Dopo la consegna della prima stella Michelin non abbiamo esitato nel prenotare.
La location è fantastica, sulle colline al confine tra Liguria e Toscana domina l’intera vallata aprendo uno scorcio dal fiume magra fino alla Versilia 🔝.
Personale molto cordiale molto preparato e di un livello superiore,sempre pronto a consigliarti e a spiegarti ogni portata proposta. Mise an Place molto curata, tavoli ben distanziati che danno quella riservatezza alla serata. Il locale propone 3 Menù completi 80 100 e 120€ e il menù alla carta, cantina dei vini molto ricca.
Noi abbiamo optato per 4 menù da 120€ che lascia mano libera allo chef, siamo rimasti veramente entusiasti perché in ogni portata si è potuto notare il grande lavoro che c’è dietro ogni piatto, oltre che assaporare abbinamenti che lasciano il segno. Il menù oltre che ad un entrè è composto da sette portate che spaziano dalla terra al mare con prodotti ricercati e di stagione, si va dal petto di fagiano con gamberi e lardo alla pappa al pomodoro verde. Il piatto che più mi ha entusiasmato è stato la capasanta con fuagrà da degustare con un bicchiere di brodo di pesce, fantastico.
Per finire un pre dessert e un dessert molto fantasiosi, sorpresa finale dello chef ad accompagnare il caffè.
Per questo menù abbiamo abbinato 3 bottiglie di cui due francesi ed un Pinot Grigio italiano.
La serata è stata fantastica in una atmosfera unica, se dovessi trovare due osservazioni che possano servire da stimolo per questo locale, consiglierei di proporre un percorso degustazione di vini da abbinare con i menu proposti, e fare più attenzione al conto poiché a noi sono stati conteggiati due calici di benvenuto non serviti.
