I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Toscana

22/06/2025: Dirty tables, place full of flies and cocktails with ants in them. They also took two drinks from the table unfinished

08/04/2025: It remains the only place where you can have an aperitif without ruining yourself

24/12/2024: Had a lovely dinner here - great service, cool atmosphere and some very, very good dishes, especially the tropea onion, the (gluten free!) cold spaghetti and the risotto. Recognizable Italian/Tuscan dishes with a creative twist of unexpexted flavor combinations. I'm still debating whether I found the carrot and avocado dessert to be a success ;) but I am certainly intrigued -- to be surprised like this is definitely something I look for in restaurants. I very much recommend Essenziale and find out yourself!

31/08/2024: ΑΨΟΓΗ ΕΞΥΠΗΡΕΤΗΣΗ ΝΟΣΤΙΜΟ ΦΑΓΗΤΟ ΚΑΙ ΑΡΙΣΤΟ ΠΕΡΒΑΛΛΟΝ ΜΕΙΝΑΜΕ ΠΟΛΥ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΗΜΕΝΟΙ ΑΝ ΠΕΡΑΣΟΥΜΕ ΑΠΟ ΦΛΩΡΕΝΤΙΑ ΘΑ ΞΑΝΑ ΠΑΜΕ

15/06/2025: Usual quality, everything as always 👍

09/06/2025: Quick dinner in a clean environment with lots of very kind and friendly young people. At the entrance we were greeted by a really helpful guy who made the difference in our experience. Very good food, recommended for a quick stop

10/05/2025: Currently under construction on part of their restaurant, it nonetheless remains a very pleasant bar to drink an aperol spritz

15/06/2025: I had lunch with my partner and I have to say that the place is really beautiful and well-kept, surrounded by greenery just a stone's throw from the Casella A1 Valdichiana exit. Air-conditioned rooms, excellent and abundant food, welcoming and friendly STAFF.

02/06/2025: Structure located in a strategic place, you can easily reach the nearby towns, the rooms, with a small balcony that gives a beautiful landscape, are clean and spacious, courteous and competent staff. With large private and shaded parking.

05/08/2025: It's my favorite bar...special dishes, appetizers, and aperitifs. And lots of kindness and friendliness.

02/07/2025: You can eat everything then our max a big one

01/09/2024: Freshly made dishes, flatbreads, pizzas, croissants, all the essentials. Useful when you go to or return from the sea and want to eat something. The Parisian is Top. They are good people.

18/08/2024: Nice place, self service, everything good

08/07/2025: Had dinner on a weekday with friends. The food was good, as usual. Service was good, though a bit chaotic. They brought dishes from other tables, but that can happen. The staff was friendly and not rude. The place was casual and the atmosphere was quiet.

30/06/2025: Good pizzas but very chaotic place

01/08/2025: Place is simply majestic! An amazingly beautiful space, surpassed only by the quality of its cuisine. Innovative menu, while predominantly French, diversely inspired

29/07/2025: Arrived and sat down. Waited for 30 mins with no service, during this time I asked for service twice but received nothing. Beautiful but that’s it. Don’t recommend

19/07/2025: A terrible experience. We opened with a very cold welcome, probably because we weren't dressed according to current standards and the owner was very judgmental of his guests. We were ready to spend a lot of money on wine and food. Yes, just because we're dressed casually doesn't mean we can't afford it! It's 2025! Appearances don't make the man. We left quickly. The pizza wasn't great. The wines were mediocre. Disappointed.

18/07/2025: The price-performance ratio is disastrous. We paid €10 for two small, lukewarm cappuccinos. The waitress was unfriendly and simply "slapped" the cappuccinos on the table. After that, we were consistently ignored! Definitely not recommended!

19/06/2025: An insider tip. Our most wonderful culinary experience during our Tuscany vacation.

02/06/2025: Highly recommended restaurant. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. The best choice to stay away from the movida and enjoy a relaxing evening.

01/07/2025: excellent pizza! one of the best I ate in Italy.

27/06/2025: Last night, my partner and I went to eat pizza at this place. We wanted to go to another pizzeria, but it was closing day. We had little time, the options were limited, so we opted for Ristorante Pizzeria da Silvio; among other things, we had wanted to try it for a while and we took the opportunity. Well, I had a Margherita pizza and he had a stracchino and rocket. The rocket had run out and was replaced with courgettes. The pizzas arrived. Right away, at the sight, we realised that they probably wouldn't be that great, but once we tasted them that "great" turned into "poor"! A product of very poor quality, without flavour, truly terrible! We didn't finish them... we are anti-waste, we have great respect for food, so to leave something on the plate it must be truly inedible! We thought they were frozen, a two-bit frozen product, to sadly discover that instead they make them themselves! This makes it all the more negative, also because we spent or rather threw away €21.00 including two bottles of still water and cover charge! I wonder how you can offer a similar product and charge for it as if it were quality. With €9.50 and €6.00 ​​you can eat some great pizzas! They were also badly cooked, the dough did not rise well... my goodness! Unthinkable! There is a middle ground between terrible and excellent, you can offer a product that is at least acceptable, edible and at honest prices! This is not the case! I gave one star, because you can't give less! Forget about this pizza! Stay away from it! I'm honest, if I were the managers of the place I would be ashamed... evidently, customer care is non-existent, at the base there is only the idea of ​​earning money, but the negative reviews and word of mouth are not to be underestimated... I repeat, horrible pizza! 🤦🏻‍♀️

09/07/2025: Nice atmosphere, unique and impeccable service

17/07/2025: A good pizza restaurant with entertainment included. What more could you ask for?

11/07/2025: Delicious pizza, great venue with great music, we really had a great time. Don't listen to the other reviews.

05/07/2025: Accoglienza impeccabile, servizio impeccabile e cucina straordinaria! Siamo stati accolti con grande gentilezza e professionalità. Il servizio è stato rapido, attento e sempre accompagnato da un sorriso. Il cibo? Semplicemente eccezionale: ogni piatto una scoperta di sapori e cura nei dettagli. Un’esperienza davvero memorabile, che non vediamo l’ora di ripetere!

21/06/2025: Excellent cuisine, quality raw materials, refined location. Highly recommended choice for those who intend to eat well in Punta Ala and surrounding areas. Compliments to the managers Matteo, Gianni and all the staff!
