Osteria di Cecchi e Valentini In Scarlino

I came on vacation to Tuscany with my boyfriend, and since we were staying in the province of Scarlino, we decided to book a restaurant for the evening. Searching online, we were immediately intrigued by the numerous, highly positive reviews and the typical Italian osteria atmosphere. We had such a great time the first night that we returned a few days later. On the first night, we chose the mixed cured meats and cheeses platter with cherry jam and the off-menu Maremma ravioli with ragù, which was out of this world. This evening, we wanted to try the other options: crostini with homemade tomato sauce, pâté, and pecorino cream, followed by wild boar cacciatore. Both nights, we had the cheese duo with apricot and red berry jam for dessert. In addition to the delicious home-cooked dishes prepared by Daniel's mother, the chef, we should also highlight Daniel's kindness, friendliness, professionalism, and experience. He also advised us on the must-try wines. A rare experience of authentic, no-frills Italian cuisine that will leave you speechless and eager to return, which we hope to do soon.

A very lovingly run restaurant with a friendly and professional owner. The food was traditional and regional, and we enjoyed it very much. The regional wine selection, perfectly complementing the food, was also impressive. A big thank you to the very friendly owner who was able to answer all our questions, even in German. Children are welcome. Highly recommended! Thank you so much, we'll be back!

I had the pleasure of visiting this wine shop and was truly satisfied. The quality of the products is excellent, with a truly curated selection of wines and specialties. The food is excellent, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and every dish was a pleasant surprise. The service was also impeccable: the staff is friendly, professional, and always available to recommend the perfect wine. The welcoming atmosphere makes the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this wine shop to anyone who loves good wine, good food, and wants to spend a special moment. I will definitely be back!

I've had dinner at David's twice, with delicious antipasti as a starter and pasta tortella and wild boar ragout as a main course. A superb wine selection, a very friendly owner who knows everything about the wines and is happy to advise. Highly recommended, a true delight for the palate.

A typical wine bar with excellent wines and a small, select menu of delicious dishes. A charming atmosphere and friendly service. The young man speaks enough German to explain the dishes and wines well. His mother does the cooking. We ate there several times in the evenings and it was always good.

This is how you want to eat Italian food. Nonna in the kitchen and the son serving, who, despite somewhat broken English, makes the very best of it. The tortelli with ragú is truly fantastic.

Excellent food and a knowledgeable and hospitable host

The exact opposite of the touristy places on the Riviera. Excellent food and service. Very fair prices. Wide and quality wine selection.

Enoteca Osteria di David in Scarlino is a genuine gem. The food is excellent — honest, well prepared, full of flavor — and the welcome is just as good. David is a warm, attentive host who makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in. There's a real sense of care behind everything, from the plates to the atmosphere. Exactly the kind of place you hope to find in a small Tuscan town. Highly recommended.
