Osteria di Fonterutoli In Castellina in chianti

Lovely place to stop. Great food and professional staff.

What can I say? A great discovery. The food was wonderful from start to finish. The wine list was excellent. The staff were very friendly.

We left this morning, having had dinner last night. Super cute and well-kept place. Very good food and service. Nothing to complain about, you made us feel great and we felt very relaxed. A special thanks to Francesco, who was so kind and friendly, welcomed us and served us impeccably. Highly recommended.

Today, Easter, I went to this restaurant for the first time. The location is very charming, the food is excellent, and the staff is very kind and professional. I highly recommend it.

My boyfriend and I are passionate about fine dining. When we go out for dinner, we like to seek out quality ingredients and creative dishes. This restaurant pleasantly exceeded our expectations. We were impressed from the appetizers to the dessert. The wines were excellent. The best dish for us was the pheasant tortelli. We'll definitely be back. The quality/price ratio was excellent! Thanks also for the very attentive service.

We returned to this osteria, which we've known for several years, and were unpleasantly surprised by the change. We ate on the veranda, which certainly doesn't have the same charm as the indoor dining rooms. The menu is very sophisticated and a bit pretentious, with limited choices and dishes that won't suit all palates. The wild boar and chocolate buttons were good, but several parts of the wild boar skewer were tough or sinewy. The grilled pasta and celery ossobuco were disappointing. The price was high for the quality. However, the service from the professional and pleasant staff was impeccable.

There's no denying this place's charm: the location is enchanting, especially when dining in the garden, and the wine cellar offers superb wines (their Chianti is a guarantee) served by an impeccable and knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere and service are textbook. However, I must make a substantial point about the cuisine. Although there are interesting creative flourishes, the balance is tipped too far against the customer. Portions are often too small, almost like stylish tastings, which struggle to justify the significantly higher final bill. One is happy to pay for quality and location, but leaving feeling like one paid a lot for little food leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. To be a truly complete experience, the price-to-quantity ratio needs to be significantly rebalanced to the guest's advantage.

Refined and delicious cuisine worthy of the excellent wine presented

Exceptionally good cuisine and very friendly service. All the wines from the winery are great, also available by the glass at very reasonable prices, including a superb Toscana.
