Ristorante Antica Sosta A Combiate In Calenzano

A rustic restaurant on the road between Calenzano and Barberino, so it's a very convenient spot if you're traveling along those roads and want to stop for a bite to eat. The dining room where they reserved a table for us was beautiful, and it was nice that it was round. There were six of us, and we went for Sunday lunch. The menu isn't overly extensive, with just the right number of dishes; they also serve fish! We all opted for two courses; I had the crostini with provola and truffle, and for the second course, the mixed fried fish with vegetables. What you see in the photo is just a portion of the fried fish; they serve it for at least two people, and the plate of fried fish they brought us was truly packed with meat and vegetables. Unfortunately, there were some slightly embarrassing oversights in the service. The first was that someone at the table had ordered lasagna, and only after the first course were we told they were out of stock. This meant we had to choose another dish and ask for the menu. It almost felt like we had to memorize the dishes... The second oversight was not serving everyone at the same time, which meant some people had to wait for the other dishes to arrive, and in the meantime, the food got cold. The third was that almost 40 minutes passed between the first course and the second course, and it took another 15 minutes for desserts to be served—really too long a wait. Luckily, the desserts were the best dish, a truly excellent conclusion; the yogurt cream with berries was superb. Quite good value for money, but it's a shame about the service. I'd love to go back to see if it was just a bad day. I recommend it if you're in the area and want to spend a fair amount; I wouldn't go there on purpose.

Tired of the endless traffic on the highway, I went out looking for a restaurant. Thanks to Google, which found me this spectacular restaurant. I'll be back this summer on my motorcycle with friends. It's truly excellent. Traditional Tuscan appetizers, as are the first courses, the second courses, and even the side dishes. I recommend it. Excellent.

Everything was amazing! Grazie mille :)

Excellent food: the crostini/crostoni were very good, the tagliata were delicious, and the fried artichokes were exquisite (the only complaint was that they were perhaps a little too salty). Fast and friendly service, a quiet atmosphere. The price was average. Overall, highly recommended!

This is a solid and versatile restaurant in the hills between Le Croci di Calenzano and the Barberino outlet: hearty Tuscan cuisine, generous portions, good value, and an unexpectedly wide selection of meat, fried, and fish dishes, with a focus on gluten-free and vegan options. The atmosphere is refined and informal, with convenient parking, an outdoor veranda for warmer weather, and friendly service; reservations are recommended on weekends.

This wonderful restaurant up in the hillside is OUTSTANDING! The food is all fresh and authentic! Worth the drive. An absolute MUST.

A welcoming, family-friendly place. The owner is very kind, helpful, and attentive. As a celiac, I was treated with great care and attention, and found a wide selection on the menu. Recommended! 😃

We didn't have enough battery for our phones so we didn't take any pictures. But WOW! The food was amazing, and prices were more than decent. We enjoyed great and fresh ingredients which included porcini and fresh tartufo. We were both amazed and will definitely come back on our next road trip!

The restaurant is excellent, whatever the menu. The place is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I love this place and recommend it to anyone who wants to eat out in a relaxing and satisfying way.

Excellent first courses, the meat and porcini mushrooms were very good. Fair price.
