Ristoro Le 3 Rane In Pontedera

I already knew this place from previous experiences with the previous owners. The business changed hands, and curiosity led me to try the cuisine of the new, young owners. Previous experiences had been completely satisfactory, so expectations were high. At this point, I risk sounding exaggerated in my overall rating, because the enthusiasm and professionalism of these young people captivated me. Naima, the woman who waits the tables, is lively, attentive, a lover of her homeland, Puglia, and incredibly sweet. Her name is challenging, but it perfectly captures it. The place is lively, pleasant, and at times intimate, with a terrace overlooking the most iconic representation of Tuscany: a succession of hills and delightful villages. Last but not least, but not least, the kitchen. Partly open, it hides nothing of the chef's magic. Traditional dishes enhanced with sophistication, using carefully selected ingredients, often picked from the garden downstairs. I won't even mention the olive oil; Arriving in town, you can't help but notice the splendid olive groves that produce a product of enviable quality. As for wines, the selection is vast, both for taste and... for your wallet. In conclusion, worth trying again and again. See you soon, guys.

Cozy little restaurant in the Borgo with excellent local dishes and wine.

We stayed for one night. We had the four-poster room. Simply wonderful! Impeccable cleanliness, but above all, the kindness of the staff. The dinner was a wonderful surprise. We hope to return soon! Keep up the good work!

In the heart of the village of Treggiaia, amidst the scents of the Pisan hills and a view that alone is worth the visit, lies this little gastronomic marvel. Four of us dined here tonight, and honestly, it was a surprising discovery. The cuisine is a harmonious fusion of Puglia and Tuscany, yet reinterpreted with refined techniques and a creativity that reveals all the passion of the three young chefs, two from Puglia and one from Pontedera. From the tender ribs enhanced with homemade sauces, to the pork with tuna sauce (never tasted so good!), to the potatoes, made crispy and fragrant by a three-step process: each dish tells a story of care, talent, and love for the raw ingredients. And then the desserts... small masterpieces that round out the meal with grace and imagination. All served in an elegant yet welcoming setting, where kindness, professionalism, and authenticity reign supreme. In a world where we often rush, Le Tre Rane invites you to stop and savor the passion for Italian cuisine. Come, while this village is fortunate enough to preserve such a rare experience. See you soon!

I stayed here on a business trip and found it to be a wonderful location, nestled in a small and intimate Tuscan village, just a few kilometers from the highway. Pietro, Naima, and Pierpaolo are the three young hosts who welcomed us and also cooked us a delicious dinner. Clean rooms, incredible views, equally delicious food, and a kind and helpful welcome. I'll be back.

Excellent. I won't spoil anything, go there!!!! Five stars

The restaurant was very good. The food, service, and atmosphere were top-notch!

I stayed here for work and it was a pleasant discovery. The receptionist, who also works in the restaurant, is disarmingly kind, super helpful, and always smiling. The restaurant is truly top-notch, with a breathtaking view and truly refined dishes. Highly recommended.

A very pleasant surprise. This "village" restaurant starts from solid foundations. First and foremost, courtesy in booking; warm welcome; clear presentation of dishes; attention to guests' needs. Regarding the purely culinary aspect, the solid foundations are evident in the excellently made fresh pasta, tasty bread, excellently executed sauces and spreads, and the use of exquisite olive oil. The plus, in my humble opinion, comes from the idea of ​​a cuisine that emphasizes "humble" ingredients, such as sinew, tongue, tripe, and so on, in a region that has become accustomed to offering mainly tagliata, Florentine steaks, and "noble" cuts. The Tuscan-Apulian influences with hints of Lucania/Calabria (see peperone crusco) are absolutely successful. Flavors that can be appreciated from appetizers to dessert (we didn't order main courses, but we'll definitely do so next time). The location is truly unique, with a beautiful view of the Tuscan hills, but the structure certainly requires a significant effort to maintain, given its multiple levels. I'll just put in my two cents here, but I'm pretty sure these guys will go far. Good luck, Naima and Pietro! And, of course, see you soon :)) By the way: we also really appreciated the selection of ceramics, from Caltagirone to Otricoli, etc.

We stayed overnight and had dinner at Le 3 Rane for two and had a truly wonderful time. The dinner was spectacular, with dishes carefully planned and beautifully described by Naima. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the team is highly knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions. The restaurant also has a beautiful terrace with an incredible view. The entire building and rooms are simply yet elegantly furnished. We will definitely be back!
