Osteria del Vicario In Certaldo

We had a wonderful evening at Osteria del Vicario. From the ambiance with its stunning view, to the loving and artistic presentation of the vegetarian/vegan dishes, which are delicious even for meat-eaters, to the pleasant and attentive service, everything was perfect!

Beautiful location, delicious vegan food and great hosts!

We booked in advance as we were in Certaldo on a Monday and we were the only people in the restaurant. The service from the co-owner was impeccable - he even gave me a stool for my purse! The food was incredible and each course was a delight. Vegan fine dining in the middle of Tuscany in a medieval fortified village! Only this restaurant (and b&b) and Il Castello in Certaldo Alto have panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside and the setting is stunning. One of the best evening meals I've ever had because of the food, the excellent wine and cocktail (and finally a non-alcoholic beer!) the views, the atmosphere (soft bossa nova playing and excerpts of an orchestra rehearsing in the church nearby). If I were to return to Certaldo, I'd eat here again in a heartbeat.

Experience 10/10! Two guys who think about making people feel good! Kind and with a great future! To try and come back!

My husband and I decided to treat ourselves to this evening with the tasting menu to try a cuisine we are not used to. The experience was characterized by calm and care, right from the start. The landscape that can be enjoyed from the tables is enchanting and accompanies the courses, described with attention and detail. The menu plays on different consistencies and combinations and is truly fascinating, as well as delicious. The watermelon served stewed and marinated as if it were a peposo is special! We highly recommend the experience if you want to treat yourself and escape from the usual tastes. 😊

This is the second time we come to this establishment, everything is excellent! The vegan food is delicious and the hospitality is truly amazing. We celebrated my thirtieth birthday and our wedding here. Chef Eleonora and head waiter Erik are very prepared and you can see the passion and commitment they put into it. We'll see each other again! 🫂❤️

Beautiful experience: the food is top quality, the dishes are unique and refined and the atmosphere is truly unique. It is not just a simple dinner but a real experience. You can feel all the care and passion that Erik and Eleonora put into their work.

Lovely location. Staff a little too rigid. Refined and friendly food. Portions perhaps a little too precise given and considering the cost of the tasting menu and additional expenses such as COVER! A little too expensive. If it cost a little less / offered a wider menu I would say it would be worth another visit.

Alternativa vegana veramente valida, da premiare l’impegno di Erik e Eleonora che mettono passione in quello che fanno e la trasmettono ai clienti. Posto stupendo dove regna la tranquillità e la bellissima vista sulle colline toscane.

Menù degustazione da 10 e lode: dal benvenuto al dolce finale è un viaggio sorprendente nei sapori della cucina vegetale. I piatti sono stagionali, gustosi, colorati, ti fanno apprezzare a pieno le potenzialità della cucina vegana. Il locale è nel borgo medievale di Certaldo, immerso nelle colline toscane. Una tappa imprescindibile per tutti i viaggiatori che amano essere coccolati e stupiti a tavola.
