sottogrotta In Monsummano terme

A fantastic local restaurant! Everything here feels exactly like in the movies: the family working together, cooking with love, the noise, the atmosphere, the constant movement. The place was full even on a Monday — which in Italy is already a serious recommendation. For the first time in my life, I saw Catalana Mista on the menu — seafood with fruit. Naturally, I ordered it. While waiting, they brought focaccia as a starter, which immediately reduced the danger of making irrational decisions from hunger. In short: everything was delicious. The only small tragedy was the wine list — slightly over-dried. The wines I wanted to try had already been consumed by other enthusiasts of civilization. So I ordered a simple local everyday wine, grown somewhere in the nearby fields. And honestly — it was the right decision. The food was already so good that trying to impress it further with some sophisticated Riserva would have been unnecessary intellectual overengineering. Greetings to the owners!

Decent value for money. Friendly staff, but the pizza is nothing special.

Great food and prices are sooooo cheap

Pizzeria Sottogrotta in Tuscany was a great surprise with relaxed, local environment and serving genuinely good food without the tourist markup. The gluten free pasta was cooked properly and full of flavour, and the Florentine steak was the highlight with a generous portion and perfectly done. Prices were very reasonable and the service was easy going throughout. A spot I’d happily return to and one I’d recommend to anyone passing through.

Dinner with friends. Excellent food. We had a great time.
