I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina toscana in Toscana

13/01/2026: A rustic restaurant on the road between Calenzano and Barberino, so it's a very convenient spot if you're traveling along those roads and want to stop for a bite to eat. The dining room where they reserved a table for us was beautiful, and it was nice that it was round. There were six of us, and we went for Sunday lunch. The menu isn't overly extensive, with just the right number of dishes; they also serve fish! We all opted for two courses; I had the crostini with provola and truffle, and for the second course, the mixed fried fish with vegetables. What you see in the photo is just a portion of the fried fish; they serve it for at least two people, and the plate of fried fish they brought us was truly packed with meat and vegetables. Unfortunately, there were some slightly embarrassing oversights in the service. The first was that someone at the table had ordered lasagna, and only after the first course were we told they were out of stock. This meant we had to choose another dish and ask for the menu. It almost felt like we had to memorize the dishes... The second oversight was not serving everyone at the same time, which meant some people had to wait for the other dishes to arrive, and in the meantime, the food got cold. The third was that almost 40 minutes passed between the first course and the second course, and it took another 15 minutes for desserts to be served—really too long a wait. Luckily, the desserts were the best dish, a truly excellent conclusion; the yogurt cream with berries was superb. Quite good value for money, but it's a shame about the service. I'd love to go back to see if it was just a bad day. I recommend it if you're in the area and want to spend a fair amount; I wouldn't go there on purpose.

12/01/2026: We ended up there by chance and it was a terrible experience. The place is falling apart, plaster is peeling off the walls and covered with paintings... the staff is unfriendly and the prices are exorbitant for what we ate... P.S. We had booked with the fork with a 20% discount, but when it came time to pay they didn't accept or offer the discount... Terrible experience.

05/01/2026: Excellent welcome, well-kept premises and excellent quality dishes at a reasonable price.

04/01/2026: We found a great place for those with gluten intolerance like my wife..

25/12/2025: I had lunch at this restaurant today, December 25th, for Christmas lunch, and unfortunately, it was a truly disappointing experience. The appetizer, presented as Tuscan, had nothing in common with Tuscan cuisine, neither in flavor nor quality. Everything was bland and poorly prepared. The first course was tagliatelle with meat sauce. I must say the meat sauce was good, but the tagliatelle were clearly store-bought and, to top it off, raw. The same goes for the truffle gnocco, which was also clearly not homemade. Those who chose the ravioli found themselves with an undercooked dish, unpleasant to eat, and truly unsuccessful. The second courses were perhaps even worse. The roast duck and rabbit arrived cold and very dry, difficult to eat and not at all inviting. The roast potatoes were also cold. We then ordered a tagliata that was so thin it resembled roast beef. We'd asked for one with pepper and one with truffle, but the waiter was confused and didn't remember our orders, ending up bringing us a slice of steak identical to the one served at all the other tables. The lunch was incredibly long, with excruciating waits between courses, probably in an attempt to serve all the tables at once. This made the experience even more burdensome and unpleasant. The service was lacking throughout the meal. The dessert was truly embarrassing. A pandoro accompanied by a cream that looked and felt like scrambled eggs, tasted bland, and had colorful sugary pearls that didn't add anything. The coffee wasn't up to par either. Considering the price, the food was very poor, and there was very little attention paid to the customers. Christmas lunch should be a special and enjoyable occasion, not a disappointment like this. I definitely won't be returning, nor do I recommend it.

20/12/2025: Family-run restaurant with a rustic atmosphere. In the summer you can enjoy the large terrace with a spectacular view of the whole of Arezzo. The pizza is cooked in a wood oven, really digestible and abundantly seasoned. The meat is delicious and cooked on the grill. The first courses and other classic dishes are delicious. The service is impeccable and very helpful. The prices are low. The bathrooms are very large.

13/11/2025: Don't update the info, kitchen closed at 2pm

19/09/2025: Delicious dishes in a cozy restaurant with friendly staff! In short, enjoy!

04/01/2026: The place is very nice, all in typical Umbrian stone. The service was friendly but quick; they served our first courses while we were still eating our appetizers. Then we waited a bit for dessert, I think because it was crowded. The appetizers weren't great, but the first courses were plentiful and good, especially the pici all'aglione. The cappelli del prete were good, but a few more minutes of cooking would have been excellent. Prices were normal.

01/01/2026: Lots of people, poor service... slow and imprecise, but the food is good. Improve your timing and accuracy, and this place will be top-notch.

02/02/2026: I have to tell you! The location is beautiful and very well-kept, and the food is good... but for my taste, the portions were almost gourmet. Personally, I prefer larger dishes. My girlfriend and I had a quail skewer, two beef steaks, and a half bottle of Montepulciano red wine. The price was a bit high, but overall, I ate well.

06/01/2026: This was my best ever food in Italy; I did the pasta with pear and another with wild boar and then octopus for me; my mom did the beef and my sister did the specialty of place pigeon that was stunning all of them; wait I start with and antipasto awesome; and I usually not enjoy dessert but MAXIMO recomend us a pear with mascarpone and chocolate that was a beautiful taste fresh and sweat and creamy that I did never enjoy ever. I would like to say MAXIMO make our trip with the attention and class and the most ITALIAN CORTESY. GRAZIE DESIDERIO Y GRAZIE MILLE MAXIMO.

24/12/2025: The food is good but the service is slow, it is not well organised and you have to wait a long time. The environment is small and there are many tables, which results in a lot of noise and confusion.

07/11/2025: Simple and genuine, what more could you want in these times….

02/01/2026: Terrible New Year's Eve dinner forced as we were staying at the Relais Santa Margherita at the moment there were 8 of us outside temperature 2° in the room -5° 🙈

02/01/2026: Disappointing New Year's Eve evening booked because we were staying in the relais next door but total disappointment, badly eaten, cold dishes and not at all friendly who served us then for the bill an hour waiting and if you didn't check it even wrong

11/05/2025: Tutto top!! Il cibo ottimo , il servizio gentile, accogliente e cordiale, rapidi i tempi d’attesa, in ottima posizione centrale. Consigliatissimo!!!!

04/05/2025: Piccolo locale nel centro di Arezzo. Abbiamo cenato nei tavoli all' esterno. Vino ottimo, molto buoni i pici con ragù di chianina. Prezzi onesti e personale molto gentile.

03/01/2026: Excellent food! Friendly and professional waiters! Tasty dishes and excellent quality. We'll definitely be back.

03/01/2026: We've been to Il Torrione both on a weekday and on a Saturday when the restaurant was full. The friendliness, hospitality, and customer service from the staff were always top-notch. Both the dishes and the pizza, which was very tasty and light, left everyone extremely satisfied and satisfied. Highly recommended.

18/01/2026: A historic restaurant opened 70 years ago. It's still family-run for generations. Recently renovated.

14/12/2025: Large, bright restaurant with a varied and extensive menu and excellent food quality. Prices aren't the cheapest, but it's a great setting for business dinners and large gatherings.

03/01/2026: Very nice and typical Tuscan place, friendly staff and excellent food 👍

02/01/2026: Excellent restaurant, friendly, very kind and helpful staff!!!

05/01/2026: We ended up there by chance, my husband and I, the best Florentine steak, very kind and professional girls, kind and friendly owner, simple atmosphere, top cleanliness, excellent service, I definitely recommend it.

02/12/2025: A culinary experience not to be missed.

06/01/2026: A classy restaurant, with excellent cuisine and service. Overall, the food was good: the risotto was excellent, but the meat was a bit tough. However, there was no final attention, such as a pre-dessert or a small pastry, which are usually found in establishments of this caliber. I must also report an unpleasant incident: I left cash at the checkout, but my €15 change was never returned. When I asked for it, the waiter said he thought it was "for them." At that point, I pointed out that he would have to bring me the change back if necessary, and that only then would I decide whether or not to tip (and, in any case, how much). Despite this, he continued to be vague, so I let it go. A misunderstanding that partially ruined the experience and something I don't expect from a place of this caliber.

02/01/2026: The atmosphere is exclusive and very intimate with excellent service. The dining experience was a little less positive, with limited choices: either a tasting menu (five courses or three courses). In my case, despite having previously reported a lactose intolerance (and the reservation requires a €100 credit card hold), upon arrival I was informed that the five-course menu was not available due to my intolerance, forcing me to choose the three-course menu, which, being very small, was not enough to qualify as a complete dinner. Overall, given the total cost, the variety of the menu, and the overall satisfaction, I would not recommend it.
