Ristorante La Mandragola In San gimignano

Beautiful location, unique dishes, and reasonable prices. No wine selection by the glass. Friendly but slow service.

Between 4.1 and 4.5 stars for the presentation of the dishes observed on other diners' tables. Furthermore, the plates arrived in the waiter's hands practically empty. We ordered a cheese board, as pictured, which came with honey and caramelized onion to create the delicious contrast that honey provides with pecorino, for example. I also requested some nuts separately, which I felt were necessary on the board, and they happily provided them. However, I did miss having some kind of sauce or red fruit jam. The wine here in Tuscany never disappoints, and while Chianti is the classic choice, here the white wines, especially those from the Vernaccia grape in San Gimignano, are a delight. At Mandragola, they have a wide variety, not only from San Gimignano but from all over Tuscany. Their staff is knowledgeable about the local products, which makes the wine pairing experience even better. They have excellent local products for dressings and the atmosphere is very welcoming, making you feel like you're in the dining room of a typical Tuscan house.

We had dinner at La Mandragola and it was wonderful. The ambience was nice, servers were friendly and ready to advise and the food was good too. We had the florentine steak which we feel was the best out of all the florentine steaks we have eaten on our Tuscany road trip! The ribbon noodles with saffron sauce and Tuscan cinta sense pork ragout was yummy too! My husband and I were sharing everything and they kindly help to plate 1 portion into 2 plates when serving which was a nice touch.

Very tasty food & great service!

A VERY GOOD RESTAURANT Excellent welcome. Professional and attentive service. Lovely terrace away from the crowds. The dishes are high-quality, original, sophisticated, generous, and well-presented. A real treat! Very friendly atmosphere. Thank you, Le Routard, for this excellent restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Unique and well executed dishes, including a sort of onion tarte tatin, a black cabbage pesto pici pasta, and a ricotta spinach gnudi pomodoro.

Little food, expensive and nothing special.

OMG Best meal in Italy, hands dowm.

Wir waren auf der Suche nach einem Restaurant abseits vom Trubel und wurden fündig. Ein toller grüner ruhiger Platz.Wir hatten nicht reserviert zum Dinner. Der Chef empfieng uns sehr,sehr freundlich und gab uns einen Tisch. Die Freude setzte sich bei den gesamten Speisen mit Erklärung fort. Ein tolles hervorragendes Geschmackserlebnis und so freundliche Menschen. Das tut so gut inder heutigen Zeit. Ganz lieben Dank dafür.Grazie Mille. Wir können es nur empfehlen. Bitte reservieren.

Esta fue una cena increíble. Hemos estado en Italia durante dos semanas, con tiempo pasado en Venecia, Trentino, Lago de Garda y ahora San Gimignano. Esta fue la mejor cena que hemos tenido. Un encantador entorno de terraza, un poco lejos del ajetreo de la plaza central. El ravioli con alcachofa era realmente genial, y lo compartimos también con un filete florentino, y una sangiovese local. Tan genial.
