Tenuta di Santallago In Calci

A wonderful park, surrounded by tons of trails. The small, rustic restaurant with excellent wine left us thrilled. I recommend it especially to nature lovers and picnickers. The grilled meat was good, as was the Sangiovese wine. I recommend trying the house amaro, which is also very good. We spent €60 in total for two main courses, potatoes, a bottle of wine, amaro, and coffee... If you love rustic, simple places, you'll definitely love it!

I didn't like the food, the outside environment is beautiful especially the park.

If you want to spend a day in the countryside, this is the right place.

A lovely mountain trattoria, worthy of the name. The portions are not small and the quality/price ratio is good. For large groups, this is the perfect place!

Once again, I decided to spend a weekend in a tent with my dog, and for the second time, I chose the splendid Santallago estate. The weather was fantastic, and the "sea" of chestnuts was ready for harvest. Understandably, the same idea occurred to a few thousand people—families, animals, and tents—who scattered across the enormous space and the fantastic lawn, without disturbing one another. Given the beautiful occasion, I called two friends and invited them to join me to enjoy one of the last glimpses of good weather and have lunch together at the restaurant. And so it was. The outdoor space is partly covered by a canopy, partly open. The tables (plenty) are all set and already reserved. We still found our own corner and were truly happy with the experience. For the record, for those reading this, I've removed one star from the service. The staff, courteous and helpful, were occasionally overwhelmed by the sheer number of people they had to serve, with a menu consisting of many courses, making it difficult for the kitchen to manage. The wait times were longer than usual, but anyone who frequents these places at this time can understand. The food was excellent, and the fried "morecci" were delectable. The price was perfect. A note for those who don't appreciate the entrance fee: I understand that, being alone, I don't have the impact of a large family, but I must say that those who arrive with a packed lunch have access to enormous grills and can manage their day independently, even taking home as much chestnuts as they want. A suggestion for the managers (unless it's already the case): they could deduct the cost of the entrance fee or something similar from the restaurant bill. I hope this was helpful to someone. The one about the lost bag.

Covered and spartan outdoor area: wooden benches and a table covered with a paper tablecloth. Prices are high for both first and second courses. Dishes could be improved in terms of quality and price.
