I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Toscana

18/01/2025: The innkeeper is a great communicator, the pizza is good, the cuisine is good, worth trying!

05/01/2025: If you are looking for a place to feel at home, "la Rosa Blu" meets your needs. The Lady in the kitchen and the Husband in the dining room create the right combination of flavor and conviviality. Everything is excellent, but top marks go to simplicity: the bruschetta with oil they produce reflects exactly what was said above.

22/04/2025: We were looking for a place to stop and eat in Certaldo, among the places with the best scores I chose this one! Home atmosphere, very particular with all the writings on the walls. We chose from the proposals on the menu of the day. Pici with peposo, pici with tomato and peposo. Very good. The highlight was the slice of pastiera, homemade, also because the owners are Neapolitan. A fine thing!! We will definitely be back. Honest value for money!

24/03/2025: Tante volte leggi le recensioni di trip e Ti sembrano esagerate… ecco non è questo caso.. un posto a dir poco unico ti senti veramente a casa e si mangia veramente benissimo, credo che dei pici cosi mai mangiati per non parlare delle coccole 5 stelle sono veramente poco Unica cosa mettete sul navigatore “certaldo alto” perché se no vi tocca fare una salita disumana in mezzo al nulla… quando invece 4 passi nel borgo meritano

18/03/2025: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! beautiful location, top staff and owner, very accommodating to needs and requests, the only flaw: a lot of people and a lot of noise but for the quality of the rest you can tolerate it come on

16/03/2025: Nice experience, excellent food in a nice environment and with serious and trained staff. Excellent value for money.

24/04/2025: Cozy and family restaurant Excellent food and drinks Very delicate cod with leeks Highly recommended

25/03/2025: Everything was delicious and I left with a full belly! I will come back for sure!

17/03/2025: I recommend it for anyone who wants to eat well and feel comfortable. We care a lot about local and quality products. Very honest prices. I'll be back soon.

19/04/2025: Delicious food, very nice service staff and very inexpensive. We found it very nice there.

26/03/2025: A no-frills place, a menu with typical Tuscan dishes but cooked in a superlative way. The friendliness, courtesy and professionalism of the owners are not to be overlooked.

15/03/2025: Fantastic top quality meats and hams. Great selection of wines.

10/03/2025: The mecca of Tuscan cured meats, cheeses and meats!! Even though it is now a semi-holding, they are good at trying to maintain the authentic spirit!

29/03/2025: Everything was great, we'll be back to try the pizza!

05/02/2025: Traditional place, perhaps a little retro, good service and food. Recommended for families

07/04/2025: Delicious pizza, friendly service and a generous glass of wine. Visited again the next day, warm welcome. It is possible to get menu requests that are not on the menu. It was delicious and this restaurant is highly recommended.

30/03/2025: Locale molto accogliente; titolari e personale professionali e gentili; pizza, antipasti, secondi e dolci molto buoni, i primi li preferisco meno (è un mio gusto) ma nel complesso è un locale molto buono.

08/04/2025: Whoever likes a good spaghetti coze and vongole, is the perfect place close to the port and Mazzini square, all the staff is quite friendly, the owner of the place makes you feel part of the zio osteria family, thank you Andrea, Luciano

30/03/2025: The food isn't that great. Of the canapés I really liked the one with anchovies and butter. The octopus on the other hand was thin and not even that good. Chocolate flan as a terrible dessert. However, the place is quiet and welcoming and the staff are friendly. For what you ate it wasn't particularly cheap either.

14/04/2025: After three restaurants with no availability for a free table on a Friday night; in via S. Frediano we found a semi-empty restaurant and we entered without checking the menu posted outside (currently occupied by a couple of tourists); the decor was "minimalist" and with the tables without tablecloths and cutlery, it gave us "the idea of ​​a trattoria" and with the very kind welcome, we sat down anyway. After a welcome tasting with polenta and toppings to enrich the flavor; the menus were divided into 3 variants; fish, or meat or vegetarian with a fixed cost of € 50 and for both (two diners) it had to be the same. Undecided due to our different tastes, we opted for the 4th menu "à la carte" (more choice) but with prices decidedly above average (a lot) and we decided, as per our preference, for a starter and a second course; Grilled artichokes for both of us and "beef on carbon" for me and "pigeon 360°" for her; from the meticulous presentation of the dishes, we had confirmation that it was not a "simple Osteria" but a high-level "Gourmet Restaurant" (I would say from the portions and the culinary display, "almost starred"). The "360° pigeon with pumpkin and chocolate" was served in four different courses and with particular flavors that left you speechless; exceptional tagliatelle with pigeon sauce and macaron with pigeon paté and chocolate. When the "pigeon in salmì" arrived, I was served the "beef with carbon", covered with a thin slice of Cinta Senese rump; extraordinary softness and flavor of the meat, accompanied by a potato puff pastry with a salad of wild herbs. Very elaborate dishes (very) and with a taste never tasted before and unfortunately, for me, of "insufficient quantity" to feel completely satisfied. The introduction of the dessert, of the "almond and thallus ice cream" was meticulous and instructive (as for the previous dishes to enhance the seasonally available raw materials); I have never heard a mâitre discuss in great detail the provenance of the products for a dessert and I perceived a real passion for this presentation. A new culinary experience that we appreciated and to end in style, seeing the "most expensive coffee in the world" on the menu, I said to myself why not?!; I had seen "kopi luwak" coffee years ago on a TV documentary and curiosity pushed me to taste it [for those who do not know it; to obtain Civet coffee, the beans are ingested and evacuated by the Luwak (Indonesian name for this small animal). It is a small civet that lives in the Indonesian forests, whose gastric enzymes are able to give the coffee an incomparable, chocolatey aroma and an unparalleled body]. Well!, unfortunately my palate was not able to perceive such an aroma but it is an experiment that I could not miss; like tasting a glass of Sassicaia in Bolgheri and not feeling a difference with a red wine from Montalcino that I prefer regardless, compared to the first. Despite the expensive cost of the dinner, we had a great time and I certainly recommend this restaurant for lovers of true culinary art, after all quality has its price ...

17/01/2025: Do not confuse this restaurant with Osteria dei Cavalieri, located 30 meters away and across the street. La Sosta dei Cavalieri serves good Italian cuisine with a certain dose of originality. The menu is small (no green or mixed salad, for example); it evolved from what we had seen on the Web. Main dishes of pasta or risotto are between 15 and 20 Euros, meat and fish dishes between 30 and 40 Euros. The desserts are well presented but modest in size. The service is friendly but a little slow.

26/04/2025: Nice terrace for lunch overlooking the lake, shame about the rather spartan entrance and internal room.

26/04/2025: We ate well and spent the right amount, a place to return to!

21/04/2025: I went a few days ago with a friend to have an aperitif before lunch, a group of babbiones arrived who hadn't booked, they wanted to sit next to us by chance, and they were serving our table... my friend was still sipping the spritz.... The waiter starts looking at us together with these old women, as if to invite us to leave, and openly says to the old women "as soon as they leave I'll let you sit" (they weren't standing anyway, but we had found a seat anyway). I am a paying customer and I don't see why I have to be evicted for a group of rude people (but never as much as the waiter in question) who didn't even have a reservation... ??? Absurd usual Florentine inhospitality. I won't set foot there again...

14/04/2025: Nice bistro. Good food and also a very large selection! Service was very, very friendly and the price was more than okay for the location!

10/01/2025: This is our second time here. Everything is just perfect! The villa is beautifully nestled in the Tuscan countryside. Highly recommended!

18/11/2024: We were expecting to have a beautiful accomodation, but when we arrived and saw the property and the room we remained speechless. It was exactly like you see in movies. The room had bedsheets and towels changed everyday, the breakfast was delicious, the pool area was very nice, the room was stunning, and the serenity and the peace you feel here gives you the whole package. Also, easy access by car to main cities, such as Arezzo, Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona is just 10 minutes away by car and it is a lovely city. We will definitely come back here because we loved everything

13/04/2025: We ate well, the place is well looked after and suitable for all ages. The staff is friendly and helpful.

10/04/2025: Fantastic place, when you enter you can immediately smell the good food. The service is top, the staff young and friendly. Special thanks to Mattia, a very helpful guy willing to listen to customers' needs.
