I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Toscana

01/03/2026: Number one, best lampredotto in the area

01/03/2026: We arrived at Benzina on a Sunday at 1:30 PM without a reservation, a group of 16 people coming off a game. Benzina welcomed us warmly, and the food was top-notch. Authentic Mugello cuisine at reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back, perhaps booking in advance.

10/01/2026: We spent a few days in Pistoia for the Christmas holidays, and on the evening of January 1st, craving a nice Florentine steak, we stumbled upon this typical trattoria. They offer a fixed-price menu, which I recommend, which includes mixed appetizers, a Florentine steak of a weight appropriate for the number of guests, three side dishes, and a dessert. Drinks are not included. The owner, like the staff, is incredibly welcoming. You can tell they really care about explaining the quality and provenance of the meat. Oh! By the way, aside from appetizers and side dishes: THEY ONLY EAT MEAT! It's a real steakhouse; they don't do first courses, they don't do fish... What a steak, folks! Served on piping hot plates so it doesn't get cold, and cut at the table by the owner himself. The only flaw: they served us French meat. Good, tender, but not the most flavorful. I would have preferred local meat. Anyway, I recommend it. It's worth it.

06/01/2026: This traditional Tuscan restaurant is located on Via Sant'Andrea in Pistoia, in a beautiful medieval building restored with exposed brick and stone. Enjoy fabulous grilled meats and traditional dishes with tasty crostini, excellent cured meats, side dishes, and appetizers, accompanied by a wide selection of white and red wines. The owners, with great professionalism and kindness, recommend these wines, turning a simple dinner into a truly exquisite culinary experience. The restaurant is truly beautiful, meticulously maintained, and fantastic for photographs. Excellent in every way! The food, wines, hospitality, and sophistication. Recommended restaurant!

06/01/2026: Unbelievably good food. Varied menu, expertly prepared. The risotto is the best I've ever had

04/01/2026: Very welcoming place, excellent cuisine and friendly and helpful staff

02/03/2026: A truly wonderful experience! This trattoria is one of those places that makes you feel right at home: a welcoming atmosphere, a family atmosphere, and an attention to detail that's evident as soon as you enter. The staff is incredibly kind, always smiling and attentive, but a special mention goes to the owner: incredibly kind and helpful, capable of welcoming every guest with genuine warmth and making everyone feel truly welcome. The cuisine is simply exceptional, with authentic flavors and generous portions. Each course showcases tradition, but with a pleasantly surprising twist. Everything was perfect, accompanied by excellent wines expertly recommended. It's one of those places you'll want to return to and recommend without hesitation to friends and family. My compliments to the entire staff; we'll definitely be back!

21/02/2026: If you're passing through Manciano, definitely stop at Trattoria Il Rifugio! The atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, and you'll immediately feel at home. The risotto is simply amazing, and the pappardelle with wild boar are spectacular, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The cod is delicious. The welcome was top-notch, Ilaria was incredibly kind and attentive. The dessert.....exquisite! A place to definitely return to! 🍷✨

20/02/2026: I agree with the other reviews: the food here is excellent! We find Tuscan tradition revitalized, but not distorted as it sometimes unfortunately happens, certainly enhanced by the high quality of the products. I was pleasantly surprised to find pigeon on the menu, which I hadn't eaten in many years. Of course, I took advantage of it...😋

15/02/2026: This family-run restaurant is nestled in the countryside yet just minutes from the highway, making it perfect for a stopover. The meat is excellent, and they're friendly. They serve a grilled meat dish (a kind of tartare) served with melted cheese and spectacular focaccia. Excellent prices.

07/03/2026: great little place, small and pleasant, the girls very professional and pleasantly lively, the fillet and potatoes were exceptional

02/03/2026: For 10 years now, whenever we can, we've been coming to dine at this fantastic restaurant, traveling over 100 km, and it's become a ritual. The restaurant is very refined and elegant, the staff is always professional, and I applaud them. The menu is meticulously curated, and you can taste the authenticity of every dish. Well done, girls ❤️

11/03/2026: I had a delicious meal here. Excellent house wine, exceptional home made pasta. Lovely authentic homey Italian atmosphere. Quiet and intimate feel. Warm and helpful staff. I’m so glad I stumbled in. And the best tiramisu I’ve had in my life! 10/10

09/03/2026: It was delicious!! The owner was also cute 💖💖

01/03/2026: Very few times have I been welcomed into a restaurant with such a warm and friendly atmosphere. My compliments go to the entire staff, who made us feel completely at ease during a wonderful lunch. As for the cuisine, there's no need for words...top-quality ingredients and expertly prepared dishes. Completing the experience is an extensive wine list and a typically Tuscan location with a picture-perfect view. Think that's too glowing a review? Try it and believe it!

23/02/2026: Amazing food with an amazing view. Pet friendly

16/03/2026: Speranza is the best server we've ever had! She's amazing, we went into the restaurant just because of her!!!

15/03/2026: Speranza was amazing and very welcoming. Food was delicious and very fast service. 10/10 would recommend.

20/12/2025: Booked for a business lunch with over 50 people. The service and food quality were truly excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

13/12/2025: Excellent dinner in a splendid setting, to return 😊

21/02/2026: "Da Gagarin" 5 stars The place is quaint (a very small space with a few stools and two tables) There's always a line... But it's worth it: the 5 e 5 is delicious and the prices are truly "old-fashioned" (very affordable).

18/02/2026: Everything is wonderful, from the food to the people. I'm addicted!

02/03/2026: Fantastic experience. The staff was impeccable, the food was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was intimate and the place spotlessly clean. Excellent value. We'll be back.

16/02/2026: In a quiet and almost deserted Barga, this restaurant was just what we needed. Delicious, refined food, a refined, elegant atmosphere. A perfect lunch.

19/03/2026: Perfect in every way. Would not skip it in any visit to Florence.

07/03/2026: Very nice pizza. They make it on the spot. Very good price too and nothing to do with tourist shops in Florence.

28/02/2026: A beautiful family owned restaurant nestled in the charming village. We had the house red (fantasticc!) and pasta. Pici with tomato sauce, tagliatelle with Tuscan ragu and the pasta with the duck sauce were all incredible. We’ll be coming back again for another meal hopefully many more

07/01/2026: A gem in the historic center of town. When you enter, you feel right at home. The decor perfectly matches the local style. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are extremely friendly. There were four of us for lunch. We shared two Tuscan appetizers, and then each had a main course with a side dish. Everything was simple and delicious. For my main course, I opted for the wild boar stew, which was truly exquisite and, above all, incredibly tender. For wine, I chose a local Chianti Classico. You have to be careful with the wine list, as not all the wines on the list were actually available, and some of those were from different vintages than those listed. However, I still give the service 5 stars because the waiter handled the situation admirably. Excellent value for money. I recommend it and hope to return soon.

09/11/2025: This inn was a gem on our trip to discover Tuscany. It immediately strikes you with its location, its breathtaking view, and the tranquility that reigns. The staff was super kind and helpful, suggesting modifications to the dishes to make them vegetarian-friendly. The flavors are authentic and homey, the dishes are seasonal, and the produce comes from the garden. The entrée and first courses were exceptional, as were the desserts, accompanied by coffee from the moka pot. Highly recommended

24/10/2025: 10/10 experience in Tuscany. This was the highlight of our recent trip to Italy. Alessandro and his family were so lovely. He is an amazing storyteller, a kind human, and so much fun to be around. We loved learning how to make homemade pasta, tiramisu and some other delicious Tuscan food. We had the most wonderful day with Alessandro and the other guests, the food and wine were delicious, and this is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!!
