I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Toscana

28/09/2025: One of those places worth preserving. Excellent raw materials and good workmanship. Impeccable service. More than fair prices. Long live the place.

17/08/2025: Velia is a magical place where the food, wine, and service are excellent, and the traditional dishes hold no secrets for the chef. It's definitely the place where I've eaten the best.

13/11/2025: This place was so lovely! It’s a family run restaurant and hotel and we immediately felt welcomed by their warm greetings and service. The food was excellent. I forgot to take a picture but the chicken was so tender and perfectly seasoned and the gnocchi and roasted vegetables were cooked perfectly. It’s only steps away from Piazza del Campo and in a beautiful area. Highly recommend!

02/11/2025: We only went to the restaurant for lunch; the food was excellent. We ordered the carbonara, and it was one of the tastiest dishes. The place has personality and tradition, which makes the experience more immersive. 10 euros per dish in Oct/25.

31/10/2025: The shop is small but stocked with tons of wonderful Sicilian desserts. They even make the 7 veli (literally, "seven veils"), which takes you to heaven. The cassata is delicious and has a well-balanced sugar content, never cloying. The cannoli are filled fresh, as is traditional, with pistachio or other flavors. They also have delicious arancini. And then there's more, like jars of sauce for pasta with sardines. It's small, but it takes you back to authentic Sicily. A lovely surprise in the city of Siena. And truly excellent products.

22/10/2025: I have been cannoli hunting and these are some of the best I’ve found so far! We won’t have time to go all the way to Sicily this trip, but we sure got a taste of it. The lady at the counter was so sweet and let me stumble through my attempt at ordering in Italian despite my awfully-English pronunciation. She gave them to me wrapped up so cute. I also got an arancina to try for the first time- great first impression!

12/05/2025: Tappa fissa quando si va a Monticchiello: pici e rosso di montepulciano squisiti. Da non perdere. Cibo atmosfera e servizio ottimi, un luogo dove tornare e che non vi deluderà

25/04/2025: Excellent lunch Stewed wild boar, tripe, pasta...

14/10/2025: We wandered in by chance but were immediately struck by the beauty of the wine bar, which was converted from a cellar. It was truly charming. The crostini were one better than the last, excellent cured meats, and excellent wine! The sommelier, truly kind and knowledgeable, recommended and explained every tasting. The local products from small, truly delicious wineries were delicious. It's impossible to leave without a bottle of Montepulciano red! Definitely not to be missed!

27/09/2025: Strolling along Montepulciano's main street, past the windows of artisans, painters, wine shops, restaurants, churches, museums, and exhibitions, while waiting to return to Genoa, drawn by a beautifully furnished wine tasting shop, we were greeted with elegance, professionalism, and empathy by a lady whose kindness and beauty immediately made us understand that this would be a wonderful experience. And so it was, and will remain a fond memory of this brief stop in a splendid Tuscan town. To begin, we enjoyed two glasses of wine, a white and a rosé, both fantastic. A selection of platters, carefully arranged by the lady, included excellent cheeses, cured meats, and a historic giardiniera. Then, a taste of a wonderful historic wine, Grono di Pierino Farina, a delightful aroma and flavor that satisfies the palate and leaves the mouth full of flavor. The lady spoiled us with her helpfulness and knowledge. We were truly satisfied and delighted to have spent so pleasantly part of our short stay in Montepulciano in this characteristic establishment.

21/07/2025: Cibo e bevande squisiti, servizio e attenzione al cliente ottimi. Un’esperienza deliziosa, dal piatto alle bevute e al caffè. Ottimi i prodotti naturali. Il locale è molto accogliente e ben curato.

07/06/2025: Cute atmosphere, lovely friendly service, and the most delicious pistachio moose I've ever tasted!!

16/10/2025: An oasis of kindness and organic products. Highly recommended (even for vegans—especially those who despair of finding anything!) 🌱

03/07/2025: Excellent service and organic food's and vegetables, lettuce, avocado and more....ECT. Amazing salad the owner made me. I would be here everyday if I lived here. Thank you, gracias Salvatore

08/09/2025: Simple but authentic dishes, beautiful setting a beautiful Tuscan farmhouse, surrounded by the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

11/07/2025: A fantastic experience in a family-friendly setting, like an old farmhouse. The evening, featuring excellent food, was enlivened by extremely pleasant and unobtrusive live music. Cecilia and her family were very welcoming, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Congratulations! Update after one year: everything confirmed! Cecilia's cuisine is truly authentic, using high-quality, home-grown ingredients: oil, wine, vegetables, desserts, chicken, and rabbit. The friendliness and warmth are the icing on the cake! Six stars!

08/11/2025: A very picturesque and welcoming historic bar in Montecatini

04/11/2025: Food was very good as was service and lots of menu options. Nice patio area out front as well as indoor seating if you prefer.

09/12/2025: Let me start by saying that whenever I return to Volterra, I'll return to Antica Taverna to give it 5 stars; a place as beautiful as all Tuscan villages manage to be, nestled in their characteristic and stunning alleys! The vast menu with an incredible number of dishes to choose from becomes a daunting task, and that's when a living encyclopedia of the best local dishes comes to the rescue: the legendary waiter, who describes everything in great detail! We enjoyed delicious appetizers and first courses; my only complaint is the fried zucchini flowers and sage, which should have been my highlight of the lunch, but instead was a slight disappointment due to the greasy batter. The prices are quite high, but quality rarely comes cheap.

07/12/2025: We're from Emilia, so you know, we're very picky about food... that said, we were extremely satisfied with the dinner we had. Everything was truly delicious, plentiful, and made with top-quality ingredients... the waiter was extremely kind, incredibly hospitable, and very knowledgeable in explaining the dishes and providing some historical information about the area. If we return to Volterra, we'll definitely eat at Antica Taverna again.

09/11/2025: Well done, staff, chef, chef. Excellent food, excellent wines, accompanied by courtesy and attention, the care is truly unique! Well done: I highly recommend it: just a stone's throw from the Mascagni terrace.

08/11/2025: Excellent food, everything is fresh, friendly and courteous staff.

13/12/2025: Delicious food and impeccable, friendly, and professional service. It's a shame about the parking and location! I highly recommend it; I'll definitely be back.

13/12/2025: A disappointing experience despite the positive reviews. It's a small osteria in a hamlet just outside Arezzo. We sat down for lunch; we weren't given a menu; instead, the owner/waiter verbally listed a selection of three or four first courses and four second courses. The quality was average to low, and the fact that everything was served within minutes of ordering suggests it was all precooked. The ravioli with meat sauce were decent, but the rabbit, fried long beforehand and then reheated in the oven, was inedible. Green beans with sauce were served on the side, but they were probably lemon-flavored beforehand. Nearly €60 for a first course, two second courses, two side dishes, two desserts, and a bottle of water wouldn't be too much, but forget about the flavors of Tuscan cuisine.

06/12/2025: Excellent hospitality. Welcoming atmosphere. Attentive and fast service. Excellent quality food.

03/12/2025: You eat well and spend the right amount. The only downside is that when it's crowded it gets too crowded. I don't know the acoustics of the place. You have to shout at the person in front of you otherwise you can't hear them.

17/10/2025: While riding my motorcycle along the Eroica dirt roads, I stumbled upon this fantastic hotel/restaurant. It's a family-run hotel, and I was struck by the kindness and helpfulness of the owners and staff. The service was impeccable, with garage parking for motorcycles and bicycles. The room was cozy and, despite facing the street, very quiet. The bathroom was tidy and everything was spotlessly clean. I also had the pleasure of trying their simple yet delicious cuisine. The crostoni were excellent, and the tripe, made according to grandma's recipe, was fantastic, all washed down with a nice glass of Montalcino red. The breakfast, with both sweet and savory options, was also excellent. What more can I say? If I were to pass through the area again, I would definitely stay here. Excellent value for money. Best wishes to the owner, a motorcyclist whose name I don't remember, for her trip to Mont Saint Michel, although given the weather, I'd recommend postponing your stay.

12/10/2025: Everything was perfect, the room was perhaps a little dark with artificial lighting (the bedroom), the bathroom was fine. Everything you need was there, the cleanliness was top-notch, and the garage was closed for motorcyclists. The dinner was perfect... the chatter at the bar and the selection of whiskeys and rums were top-notch. The owner is a woman to be admired.

20/11/2025: The place isn't very large, but it's clean and well-decorated. The gentleman who welcomed and served us was formal and very kind. Excellent. The cuisine was excellent, every course was truly tasty, and the presentation was top-notch. Highly recommended.

10/10/2025: Excellent fish, wide selection of wines. As for the service, it was a negative experience. Feeling neglected is not pleasant in a high-end restaurant, and having to get up from the table to get the waiter's attention is unspeakable, especially since there were only 5 tables occupied. What was really disappointing was the wait to be heard, to order a second course. It's a shame, compliments to the chef 👍
