Vivenz Ristorante Toscano In Montevarchi

12/04/2026: A sure thing My sixtieth birthday celebration, like every other time, the table was for twenty of us. We know the location; we hadn't been back in a while, but I had no hesitation in booking it. The owner is lovely, smiling, and helpful, with a passion for cooking and the dishes she offers. We didn't know what the menu had prepared, but we trusted it implicitly. The girl serving was very friendly and charming. She started with a series of appetizers: cecina with eggplant pâté on top, basil and ricotta tart with basil wafer and Sicilian cherry tomato cream, a basket of puntarelle and anchovies, crostini with cheese fondue, cured meat, and pink egg, a crispy oven-baked pappa al pomodoro, chocolate bread with chicken galantine and radicchio, the classic black crostini with vin santo, and puff pastry fingers with a gorgonzola cream to start, accompanied by prosecco. I also brought a magnum of Spatlese Riesling from the Mosel. To continue the lunch, we decide to order some Cortona Syrah, wild asparagus risotto, and artichoke-filled ravioli with a borage and nettle dressing. Then we move on to the main courses: mouth-watering Gran pezzo alla moschea alla moschea with mustard and roast potatoes, beer-baked pork chops with excellent zucchini, and to finish the main courses, baked guinea fowl on a bed of lettuce and stewed carrots. Everything was delicious. For dessert, the birthday boy was a shortcrust pastry cake with cooked custard, Portuguese milk, and biscuits so good I can still taste them in my mouth, all washed down with a glass of Moscato di Asti. What can I say? For me, this is the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. The bread and pasta are all made by the owner, the chef. The beauty of this restaurant is that you eat seasonal products available at that time of year, prepared with skill and intelligence. It's so great, you'll want to return every season. The price is very fair for the quality.

10/04/2026: I've been to this Italian no-menu restaurant four times already, and each time the menu is different and full of surprises! There were six appetizers alone, two main courses, two second courses, and two desserts—absolutely delicious! All the ingredients are created by the Italian owner himself, making them incredibly tasty. I've been here more than eight times, and each time the menu is different and full of surprises.
