Osteria Le Fate Briache In Massa marittima

One of the best restaurants in Massa Marittima and also in the area near Follonica is in fact only 20 minutes away. In this restaurant managed entirely by the owner Caterina you can savor the true flavors of Tuscany and enjoy an excellent, warm and comfortable environment. I highly recommend calling and booking at least 1 or two weeks in advance to be able to have an unforgettable experience.

Undoubtedly the best restaurant in Tuscany! We returned to Caterina after just 1 and a half months and I must say that when we left we were sad because we knew.... that we would have to wait another few months before being able to return. Le Fate Briache for those who don't know them is a small tavern run exclusively by the owner (Caterina) in the historic center of Massa Marittima, in front of the medieval candlestick tower. Since Caterina cooks, serves and takes care of the management, it is advisable to book at least 1 month in advance in winter and 2 months in advance in summer...but remember that, since she manages everything herself, a possible cancellation could cause considerable economic damage to the owner : this is because it only has 8/10 seats and because once the place is fully booked for the chosen date, Caterina has to reject all the reservations that arrive for that day (so if you really can't go despite having booked, canceling at the last minute, have the decency to pay the owner for dinner). For the rest, what can we say? Caterina cooks only traditional local dishes or invents based on what she finds the same day in the butcher's shop next door (Maremma breed meat from Massa Marittima), the bakery opposite and the greengrocer in the walls (0 km farm directly from her field in the countryside between Massa and Follonica). I don't review the dishes because it's useless... you won't find anything so good other than the memory of your mother cooking for you on Sunday lunch. The wine comes partly from the Carrareccia farm and from the Moris Farm where Monteregio di Massa is produced (if you want to taste the best Tuscan wine, ask if he will open a bottle of "il Fonditore" for you). If you want to try, based on the season and what the greengrocer can find, some dishes that no one will be able to cook better, ask to try: basil semifreddo as an appetizer, Maremma tortelli with taleggio cream, pici with white Cinta Senese ragù, peposo, la parmigiana and undoubtedly her grandmother's cake. I told you everything! 10 stars. By MATTEOO of Diridorocrew.

Very good restaurant run by a superb Caterina. All delicious, both the food and the wine. Updated 2024. Very high quality. I'll just tell you that I don't eat sweets and I had an encore at Leo's

What can I say! It feels like being at home with the owner who pampers you like a mother! Excellent food, impeccable service, simple and welcoming environment

Excellent reviews, so?.. let's try it.. We were lucky, we found a place in this tiny restaurant.. We met: the owner, cook, waitress, entertainer (at the end of the evening remembering the films of Italian comedians) experimenter (kiss ice cream) .. a show: Caterina.. Salivation a thousand just for the description of the menu, which varies.. All homemade, all fresh and delicious, Quality raw material... Try it to believe it... Too bad it's difficult to book again within a few days.. Catherine continue like this..

I went to dinner last night at "Le Fate Briache" and everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail. The watchword is authenticity, the care in choosing the raw materials and the love in transforming them into extraordinary dishes are the main theme of the restaurateur. The service is from 10 you are pampered from the moment you set foot inside the restaurant until the last drop of coffee killer. In summary TRULY EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!

Serata particolare,splendida con ottimo cibo!!! Caterina e' unica!!! Riesce a servire e contemporaneamente chiaccherare con i commensali!!! Il menu' era fantastico!!! Il prezzo anchge ! Continua cosi',non ti sciupare!!!

Booked thanks to the knowledge of a friend of ours, the restaurant turned out to be a great surprise Caterina is an excellent chef and a wonderful hostess We opt for a Morrisfarm Vermentino, a renowned winery in the area The gnocchi are delicious as a first course Secondly, anyone who didn't get the "tuna" sandwich - actually fine pork - made a fatal mistake As an ice cream dessert with real berries or, for those with a sweet tooth, gluten-free walnut tart with rich fig jam Worth the stop

A very special little restaurant to book well in advance if you want to try it. All freshly made, excellent food with sea terrace menu. The owner is kind, professional and helpful, highly recommended.

Piccolissimo ristorante nel borgo di Massa marittima con solo 6 tavoli. Bisogna prenotare per tempo: non ve ne pentirete. Caterina è una cuoca sopraffina e un'ottima padrona di casa. Eravamo stati suoi ospiti anni fa e non avevamo più trovato posto gli anni successivi con tanto dispiacere. Ieri finalmente, prenotando 1 mese prima, siamo riusciti a tornare per gustare i suoi manicaretti. Spesa oltremodo contenuta per tutto quello che si mangia: e come si mangia! Complimenti. Mi auguro poter tornare da te in altre occasioni. Grazie dell'ospitalità
