L'Osteria della Chianina - Buffalmacco In Monte san savino

In December we passed by this restaurant as we exited the motorway at Monte San Savino, heading to Lucignano. We were attracted by the scent of grilled meat that we could smell as we approached. We didn't look at the reviews and, even though we couldn't see the place (it was dark), the scent spoke for itself. So we called and made a dinner reservation for two. We arrived, it was raining, the dirt car park where we arrived with the navigator (I saw that in the dark) is not the best, but we are entering a restaurant, so the spirit is in easy mode. As we approach the venue we notice many trucks in the parking lot below. And yes, for us the truck driver is a guarantee. Seeing the gigantic plates passing by and being able to eat little, we opted for grilled Chianina fillet, I with lard. Roasted potatoes on the side. Meat cooked as requested, excellent. Generous portion. I can't resist and we also take a panna cotta for two (given the size). We struggle to finish it. Having to drive I couldn't take wine, too bad, it was all there. My husband the house red, typical Tuscan. Discreet. The bill commensurate with the quantity and type of meat, from a restaurant. Accurate service, helpful and attentive staff. Simple environment, perhaps a little chaotic. I don't like TV in clubs but I understand their presence. A stop worth saving if you go that way. I didn't see the bathroom, but I liked the open kitchen with the smells of good food. We'll be back. For the photos.... I got distracted by the environment and the food and didn't take them 😁

Fantastic! I cannot describe in any other way the kindness with which they welcomed us (arriving after hours), the care and the taste of the food. They really deserve 5 stars. Excellent location near the motorway, ample parking, clean and non-smoky room despite the grill being exposed. There is an external veranda which will certainly be pleasant in summer. Friendly and approachable owners. We will certainly return. Thank you!

Due to traffic on the motorway I ended up here a few meters from the Autosole exit. A place suitable for everyone. Quick service and kind. The pappardelle with wild boar ragù was exceptional, the fillet was very good. They have many types of meat on the menu and I should go back…. Advised…..

Excellent place to stop during a trip and savor the flavors of the place, ample parking for truckers

Excellent service, excellent food... a slightly dated but beautiful environment even so, like a real tavern! Fiorentina highly recommended!!!

Great for dinner or lunch, ample space to park and stay for the long break.

Excellent meats, exquisite first courses, kind and polite staff.

Really excellent food, more than fair prices
