Osteria l'Orciaia In Bucine

Recommended by my brother. Family run restaurant. When twice during our stay. Excellent Fiorentina steak. The rest is very good as well. All typical Tuscan. Very good choice of wines but we appreciated the house wine. Relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonable waiting time. My daughter is vegetarian and my wife has DT1. Both were at ease and both times we left this restaurant with a smile.

If you’re within 100 miles, it’s absolutely worth the trip to experience this exceptional restaurant. From the food to the ambiance—and especially the host and chef, Gino—everything was unforgettable. We began with a pear, honey, and walnut appetizer that was deceptively simple yet perfectly balanced. Next came a rich, homemade pasta with meat sauce, followed by the most incredible Florentine steak we’ve ever tasted. We ended the meal with a luxurious chocolate mousse made from high-end chocolate—decadent and delicious. Gino was a true highlight: warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a memorable evening. A charming man in a truly charming place.

Wonderful find! Family owned and traditional Tuscan food prepared simply and with great care. Everything we ordered was delicious. There was only one other couple in the restaurant on a rainy, cold Wednesday, but they had travelled from Ireland to visit because they had a recommendation from a family member. We were waited on by the owner / chef who ran the entire operation himself, including all the cooking. It was a very special evening and an opportunity to taste a meal prepared according the long traditions of the region. Highly recommend!
