I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina toscana

17/04/2026: friendly staff, delicious steak

12/04/2026: We were passing through and, given the good reviews, decided to spend the evening at Perseus. The appetizers were good and the Florentine steak was excellent. But the service was a bit poor.

07/04/2026: We tried to eat there twice. It was open with open tables and well before their closing time. We were traveling with two hungry children. We asked both days if we could have a table for 4- to which the lady just said “no.” Terrible service. Not welcoming at all. It felt prejudice like a couple other places we experienced in Pienza. Sad because we loved the town and wanted to support the businesses but were treated badly. We decided to leave pienza after two of these experiences.

30/03/2026: Highly recommended! The appetizers are especially good. The service is very friendly and the prices are reasonable.

01/05/2026: The food was average, but the ambiance was really very nice and the price was also reasonable.

30/04/2026: Fantastic dinner! Even without a reservation, they welcomed us with great professionalism and warmth. We opted for fish and were delighted: • Caponata and Octopus: Perfectly cooked and balanced flavors. • First and Second Courses: Linguine with lobster and tuna steak, 10 out of 10. • Desserts: Simply exquisite. Special thanks to the staff for their advice and helpfulness. Highly recommended!

04/09/2025: I'd known the place for years but had never stopped in. Even though it wasn't on our agenda, we stopped in for a quick bite. We quickly learned it was under new management, managed by Albanians only a few months ago. The products looked inviting at first glance, and the schiacciata dough and pizza slices were good. We ordered two schiacciatas and three pizza slices, a small bottle of water, and a coffee for about €30. Definitely too much. The prices were high, and would have been justified if there had been table service, but instead they hand you a canteen-style tray and you go find a place to sit. I don't think I'll go back.

02/09/2025: Friendly and helpful staff, good value for money, nice pergola for the tables

28/04/2026: Waiters don't give a damn about you, they laugh and they are rude. The food in school meals leaves a lot to be desired. It is more likely to go hungry than to eat there.

27/04/2026: I came here on a school trip, very fast service, high quality food and above all the fantastic interior.

22/03/2026: Lovely team, very friendly and attentive. The food unfortunately was not the best. Even the tiramisu was a disappointment. Not made in the traditional way. The La Reine biscuits were too crunchy. I wouldn't mind if the prices were low but you pay a lot for the lack of quality. Also felt unwell after dining there.

23/01/2026: We ate here last night. The atmosphere was very subdued, with soft lighting and pleasant background music. We had the artichoke flan, the pici cacio e pepe, the cheek with mashed potatoes, and two different desserts...all delicious! I didn't use a knife to eat the cheek... The prices were more than reasonable. All "topped off" by a very kind owner who had already brought water for our dog in no time... Highly recommended!!!!

07/03/2026: Too bad. Until recently, they told me it was a good restaurant, now... For God's sake. I have Spanish friends and I know how they eat in Spain, so I speak with knowledge of the facts. Let's start with the menu: it's okay that the concept may have been adapted, but in a Spanish restaurant I don't expect to find carbonara or pasta alla sorrentina among the first courses, so I think: "Is this a way to meet demand?" Then I continue browsing and find serious inconsistencies. Okay, I'll have something typical: polpo a la Gallega (Galician-style octopus, served with potatoes and pimenton - paprika -)... so four octopus tentacles on five slices of boiled potato with low-quality paprika thrown in by the bucketload. Not a drizzle of oil, not a pinch of salt. A bland dish, without identity, without flavor. To be honest, not even in a canteen does one eat so blandly (and not for free, mind you, €10 a portion). Okay, let's see the broken egg (an egg cooked a certain way, with prosciutto and sliced ​​potatoes, as per the original recipe). A simple fried egg is brought with pre-fried potato sticks and three slices of prosciutto on top (also not cheap: €10). Okay, let's get down to the wine; a bottle of Ribolla, a white wine, was warm. Extra virgin olive oil from Carrefour. In short, for the price, I expected more, a more thoughtful and refined dish, but instead, it was a disappointment on all fronts. The ambiance would even be nice if it weren't for the pieces of sheet metal here and there, the dusty fake vegetation, and the decor that's meant to look radical chic but is actually a jumble of metal chairs and tables mixed with shoddy IKEA furniture. Hasta luego... Never again.

22/02/2026: It was a lovely discovery in Empoli, near the station. The place is meticulously maintained and features sophisticated, trendy decor. Excellent for an aperitif with tapas.

02/05/2026: A truly delicious lunch in this welcoming restaurant with a delightfully homey feel. I especially recommend the pici with ragù—I've never had anything so good. The fried chicken was also delicious, with generous portions, and the young waiter was kind and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

01/03/2026: Everything was delicious, from appetizer to dessert. Truffles are a specialty!

03/05/2026: A super Florentine steak, excellent service, and a very kind owner. Very central and characteristic location.

03/05/2026: Wish I could give 0 stars. The servers were rude, aggressively spoke to us at every encounter and the food tastes like in came from a can. Do not eat here!

29/11/2025: Excellent place with a view of Santa Croce. I often recommend it when people ask me about a place in the area that serves good pasta, very good ragù, good pici and also lasagna.

05/10/2025: Ordered just pizzas and beer. The taste was like frozen pizzas from the supermarket. I wish I could rate them even lower. It is a shame to serve such bad pizzas for Italy standard. The service was Ok however the waiter was a bit unkind with a face like he is not happy to serve us.

06/05/2026: Terrible experience! The prices were really exorbitant and the service was poor. They also don't accept payments via POS.

04/05/2026: We stopped at this bar/restaurant for a quick bite since we were in the area, and thankfully we only stopped for an aperitivo. It's a nice place in the center of Populonia, with both indoor (few seats) and outdoor seating. Having only had an aperitivo, I can't say much, but the service wasn't the best; the staff were bickering, pushy, and unpleasant. The bill, of course, was a no-brainer: €2.50 for a coffee is unthinkable in my opinion. A small platter, bread, two glasses of prosecco, and a coffee came to €42.

16/08/2025: A truly bizarre experience. Almost slapstick. Disastrous decor, virtually no service, and the staff couldn't have been more rude. Plastic plates, no wine glasses. The buffet food was authentic and not bad at all, but certainly nothing special.

03/05/2026: While visiting Siena, we stopped here because the reviews were good. The experience wasn't great; the staff was friendly but poorly trained. The waiters were all foreigners who struggled to understand Italian. They got our order wrong twice, and the owner quickly resolved the issue. We probably stopped by for lunch during rush hour, but the service was poor. The dirty restrooms aren't a good sign. The food was good, and the wait was short. Overall, the rating was satisfactory.

28/04/2026: Welcoming place despite its size, with kind and helpful staff.

12/04/2026: Great venue and fantastic location, excellent top Tuscan food and a view from the terrace immersed in the Tuscan countryside, top professional and family staff

06/04/2026: Very nice place, but probably the new management needs some getting used to

04/01/2026: We found this restaurant by chance when we had to wait for a nearby movie, but it was a pleasant discovery. The classic smell of grilled meat hits you as soon as you walk in! The appetizers were delicious, the meat even tastier, and the staff were truly friendly! Highly recommended.

26/12/2025: Business lunch, good food, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. I recommend it.
