San Martino 26 In San gimignano

Amazing food, this is a fabulous restaurant… 🩷

I chose to dine at this restaurant for the first time in January 2023, just before they closed for the winter season. I've since returned at least twice over the next three years. A sensational culinary journey, with an excellent wine list, absolutely worth a visit at least once in your life.

A restaurant worthy of its Michelin star, an unforgettable experience, impeccable service, unique atmosphere, I highly recommend it.

I chose San Martino 26 restaurant to propose to my partner because I wanted something very discreet and elegant. Ardit suggested the private dining room, and it was absolutely what I wanted. We chose the five-course tasting menu, and we relied on Ardit for the wine selection.

What can I say? It was a wonderful experience! My friends recommended this restaurant to me, and I was very curious to try the dishes they explained to me, which were so tasteful and unique. I had a wonderful day and absolutely recommend it. Congratulations, especially for the service and Ardit's kindness. He also recommended some very good wines, and we did a small tasting, and it was all delicious. Thanks guys.

A journey that stays in your heart ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ♥️ The other evening at San Martino 26, we didn't just dine: we traveled. A journey of emotions, aromas, flavors, and harmonies that accompanied us course after course, leaving us speechless. Chef Elvis treated us to a marvelous culinary journey, featuring refined, sophisticated, and deeply inspired gourmet cuisine. Each dish told a story, a perfect balance of technique, creativity, and sensitivity. Surprising combinations, never predictable, capable of moving and stopping time with every bite. Sincere thanks go to the owner, Ardit, for his extraordinary kindness, professionalism, and thoughtfulness. His genuine attention to his guests is evident in every detail, making the experience even more human and special. Thanks to all the staff, always present, attentive, and discreet, who accompanied us with care and passion throughout the evening, making us feel welcomed and pampered. The elegant and intimate location perfectly complements the experience: a place that invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and let yourself be carried away. We left with eyes full and hearts light, with only one thought: we'll be back soon. San Martino 26 isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience that stays with you.

We celebrated our silver wedding anniversary at San Martino 26. We were absolutely delighted. The food, the wine pairings, the ambiance, and the friendly and competent service were all fantastic. We're already looking forward to celebrating our golden wedding anniversary there in 25 years...

During our trip, we decided to stop in San Gimignano — one of our favorite Italian towns. We parked in a different area than usual, and during our walk, we discovered San Martino 26, a charming restaurant that proudly holds a Michelin distinction. We decided to give it a try. Our first surprise came when we learned that each guest must order at least two main courses. As vegetarians, this wasn’t the easiest requirement for us, but the waiter was exceptionally helpful and explained all the options with great care. The second pleasant surprise came when the meal began: we were served a selection of five different starters, a bread course, the two mains we had ordered, and even dessert — all beautifully presented. Everything was delicious, and the service was impeccable. The chef personally came to our table to make sure we were happy with our meal, which was a lovely touch. I also ordered a glass of white wine, which paired perfectly with the dishes. The place, the food, and the service are all an easy 10 out of 10. San Martino 26 is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality cuisine and authentic Tuscan hospitality.

Dinner at San Martino Ristorante is a Michelin-starred culinary experience. We enjoyed every single course. The incredibly kind and attentive staff always explained in detail what we would be served. The food is based on local seasonal ingredients and combines Italian influences with Albanian inspiration due to the chef's origins. From my table I had a view of the kitchen, so I could watch the team at work arranging the individual courses. What they are demonstrating here is true mastery! Thank you very much for a wonderful evening!

Excellent experience! Francesco is incredibly kind and professional. We had dinner with our one-year-old daughter, and everyone was very friendly. We'll be back.
