Ristorante Da Mario In Buonconvento

Today with 8 other friends, stopped for lunch. Tables outside ok. They served us in the right way. Carbonated and natural mineral water. Bread. 8 small pieces of cheese and pepper and 1 pappardelle with wild boar. I don't know about the latter. I ate cheese and pepper. Well first of all TASTING portion 😱🤬. From the 5 star restaurant series, you understand right? Then the very sticky pici, the taste not very similar to cheese and pepper. Sporadic, sparsely scattered colors of pepper. Not a good dish from Tuscany place! Then everyone has a coffee. Total expense, which when divided was €15 each. The waiter asks who pays in cash and who pays by card. We look at each other and get up to go inside the cash register. Inside there is the request. We look at each other and everyone decides independently. Here's the beauty that comes. 7 of us pay in cash (be careful, I'm right in front of the cashier and witness all this), me and another of us pay with the debit card. And do you know the latest? He increases our spending by €0.50 and gives us a receipt of €15.50. We get angry, and they, or rather she replies that it is like that. And note carefully, those who paid in cash were not given a receipt. Well then, in addition to not eating well, they behave dishonestly since they do not invoice what they collect and also amortize the cost of the POS with a surcharge. Honestly, I didn't want to, otherwise I would have had to call the police. Best wishes rest. By Mario Buonconvento. Other posts on social media.

Had the most amazing meal here - one of our best in Italy, can’t recommend this place enough!

Tutto molto buono! Abbiamo mangiato pici all’aglione, peposo carciofi e fagioli tutto veramente buono anche il tiramisù era fatto bene. Prezzi corretti per la qualità e la quantità. Lo consiglio vivamente. Unica pecca il servizio un pochino frettoloso ma cortese!

Spectacular good cuisine: rabbit with artichokes! Really honest prices

Typical village trattoria in central Tuscany with soft light and exposed brick walls. The way I like it. Few dishes as per tradition but the ones I took were very good. Good service and prices substantially in the average of these villages that thrive thanks to tourism. We'll be back to try the first courses too.

A little expensive for the place, but still good food

City tavern with tasty and well-cooked dishes. Attentive service and very honest prices.

Osteria di Città con pietanze gustose e cucinate bene. Servizio attento e prezzi onestissimi. I piatti sono quelli tipici della Val d’Orcia

Trattoria, Tuscan cuisine, simple and well prepared dishes. Tradition must be maintained and they do it, with effort and love. Not all days are the same, you know. I recommend it.
