We had the pleasure of having lunch at the Osteria delle Catene in San Gimignano and it was a wonderful experience! Gino and Virgilio are two exceptional restaurateurs: kind, welcoming and professional. We started with a platter of typical cured meats and cheeses, really excellent, and then enjoyed some pappardelle with mushroom and truffle cream, simply spectacular! All accompanied by two excellent glasses of wine: a Chianti and a Vernaccia, both worthy of note. We highly recommend this tavern for anyone who wants to live an experience full of taste and quality. Compliments!

Passing through San Gimignano you cannot fail to stop and eat in this excellent Osteria. We took the crostini with liver pate as a starter and pici with leek and saffron and pici with black cabbage as two first courses. Everything was really great!!
Impeccable service and a traditional and very welcoming location.
If you want to taste good Tuscan food come here!!

Pleasant atmosphere, combining with the medieval atmosphere of the city. Attentive waiters and excellent food. We ordered the pappardelle with mushroom and tartufo sauce, very tasty and reasonably priced.

We were recommended to this restaurant by our host at our B&B.
We sampled the platter of local meats, cheese and liver pate on bread served warm.
Yum.
For main my wife had the roast lamb and for me the wild boar tavern style served with a side of grilled vegetables.
WOW.
This boar was rich and super tasty and fell apart in the ramekin.
The lamb equally tender and tasty.
Very reasonably priced and

Typical tavern just outside the noisy tourist area of San Gimignano. We ate: Tuscan crostini, selection of local cheeses with matching homemade (space) jams, pici with saffron and leeks, Tuscan tripe, all exceptional. To conclude we chose the panna cotta with saffron and pine nuts, highly recommended!
The owner is exquisitely kind. Prices more than fair

Amazing meal, super welcoming staff. The very famous Vernaccia wine did not disappoint, the meal are homemade and tasty. Pasta sauce slightly over salted. We tested and validated the Safran orange panna cotta, specialty of the chief ! :)
