Osteria 1701 In Sabaudia

With the utmost respect for those who work hard and strive to achieve the best results, we felt it was only right to offer our own contribution regarding our experience at this restaurant. I'll start by saying that, as Tuscans, when it comes to meat at the table, it's always difficult to make "foreign" judgments, but with a little objectivity, it can be done. And that's precisely the point: the meat. I had fond memories of Osteria 1701 from 2018, brought by friends, and my memory brought back a beautiful Florentine steak of far superior quality than this last time. I wanted to share this experience by bringing a couple of friends. According to those present, only the beef fillet passed the test, with no particular enthusiasm regarding its taste and texture, especially considering the price tag of 70 euros/kilo. The tagliata (declared Angus), however, are to be forgotten, especially the one with the "treasure hunt" of mushrooms (actually transparent), which was marked up by €7 instead of €20 for approximately 250 grams of meat. Despite being cooked rare, it was tough, dry, and lacked the classic fresh, neutral aroma. The few mushrooms that were present were unfortunately tough and tasteless. The sautéed chicory was good, although too dry and stringy; the baked potatoes and desserts were excellent. The 100% markup on Riflessi di Sant'Andrea at €12 was "discounted." The plating was basic, sometimes too much, and the service was average. The flies were a nuisance, and there was no air conditioning because he said they were "annoying." To recap: Three covers for a total of approximately 750 grams of meat, 2 side dishes, 2 desserts, 1 Riflessi red wine, 2 bottles of water for €102.50. It's a shame, beyond the price, especially for the betrayed expectations, maybe we will adopt the principle of "there's no two without three ..." and the next one will go better?!

The food is excellent, they don't skimp on quantity, and the wines are also well-suited to the type of restaurant and menu, as is the location. A great place for a meat-based evening, we'll definitely be back.

SUPER! Found it by chance, returning from a weekend on the coast. A neighborhood osteria, serving local, authentic, and freshly prepared products. Many dishes are on display, such as the superb fresh porcini mushrooms. Good cuts of meat and an excellent wine list. I recommend it and will return. Friendly, attentive, and fast service. Reasonable prices.

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere.

Discovered purely by chance, but it was a very pleasant surprise. This is a perfect place for meat lovers. On my next trip to Italy, it will be a place I'll return to. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended.

I found this osteria by chance, a rustic place with a family atmosphere that made me feel at home. A house appetizer with truly delicious artisanal cured meats. My husband and I had two different first courses, both delicious, and then we asked Michele for a steak that melted in your mouth. Michele and Salvatore are truly a great team, a fun and friendly couple who manage this business to the fullest. Last but not least, the quality/price ratio is truly excellent; it's one of the few places where you can eat well for a fair price. Pina and Salvatore

There were two of us, and we ate well, using top-quality homemade products. We spent the right amount, perhaps even a little considering the quality of the food. The place is simple but welcoming, as were the staff. Highly recommended.

What can I say? We were amazed! Despite the mixed reviews, we had a wonderful evening, with exceptional, high-quality cured meats and cheeses, and of course, wine. The friendly owner...

So, guys, don't expect the look, service, and presentation of a gourmet restaurant. It's all very casual and practical, but I can assure you that the quality of the dishes is top-notch. Reasonable prices and zero cover charge. I had a sirloin steak that was really well-aged, and the flavor was excellent.

We stopped for lunch on a friend's recommendation, and it turned out to be a place we'll gladly return to often. The grilled meat was excellent, but next time we'll be back to try the selection of pasta dishes as well. Special thanks to Salvatore and Michele for the warm welcome.
