I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Toscana

25/05/2025: The owner of the property we are staying recommended La Grotta and I'm glad she did. Every course was excellent from the asparagus flan, guinea fowl ravioli, pork wellington and then finishing with the strawberry pavlova. Wine choices are good too, although we only had a glass and a negroni. Service was excellent throughout. We booked and you probably need to as season moves on. You won't be disappointed.

25/05/2025: Restaurant nothing short of excellent! Delicious dishes, beautiful and well-kept location. But the compliments go above all to the two waiters (husband and wife); professional, kind and very friendly! A nice discovery, we will definitely be back.

01/06/2025: Excellent cuisine with delicious dishes and often with a menu that combines some classics with some excellent new dishes

01/06/2025: Absolutely always a sure thing!!!!!! 👍

14/05/2025: Great steak, wine, tiramisu really lifts you up :) Thank you for the great service. Buonissima.

14/05/2025: I visited this restaurant twice and had the Fiorentina steak on both occasions — it was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and served with excellent side dishes. I also enjoyed a great house red wine, which complemented the meal wonderfully. The dessert, especially the tiramisu, was exceptional — one of the best I’ve ever had. While I didn’t try other dishes myself, I saw several being served and they all looked very appetizing. The service is another highlight — relaxed, friendly, and highly engaged. I believe the person serving us was the owner, who was fantastic at recommending dishes and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. This review is accompanied by a short video of the Fiorentina being sliced and photos of the dishes — just to give you a taste of what to expect.

07/06/2025: We ended up there by chance, attracted by the menu that presented interesting dishes. The place is small but very welcoming. On one wall a screen shows the activities in the kitchen. Off the menu dishes with a good summer truffle. The service is attentive and courteous. The owner was very kind and at the end of the meal he offered us a good grappa. It is definitely worth at least one visit. Congratulations!!!

01/06/2025: Fantastic restaurant with fine cuisine. The truffle dishes are especially recommended.

06/06/2025: Peccato! Sulla qualità del cibo niente da eccepire ma un antipasto, un secondo con contorno e bottiglia di vino 75 euro a testa mi pare veramente un imbroglio! La colpa è mia che da fiorentino sono andato in zona turistica a farmi abbindolare. Consiglio: In zona ci sono tantissimi ristoranti dove si mangia molto bene e si spende la metà. Mai più.

03/06/2025: ottima location, personale gentile, siamo stati il 2 giugno 2025, il locale era molto affollato (normale), antipasti buoni (del chianti e finocchiona), dolce buono (tiramisu), bistecca deldente, non capisco perchè la tagliano afettine cosi sottili, il sapore non era granchè (filetto a parte), non proprio mordida, ho chiesto al camerire (ma forse era uno dei proprietari) di cambiare coltello perchè non si riusciva a tagliarla (e mi ha guardato male ma poi ha cambiato i coltelli e li ha affilati sul posto), poi cosi a fettina si fredda prima, considerando quanto la fanno pagare pensavo meglio, avevo un ricordo migliore, ma forse anche loro sono entrati nel turbine dell'over turism.

29/05/2025: As always, a charming place that deserves a visit at least once. Very good food with portions that are anything but small. Menu with a choice of seafood and meat and everything very appetizing. Compared to the last time, about 3 years ago, the prices have increased but, overall, it is still worth it because you eat really well and, you eat, you absolutely do not leave hungry. We were 4 of us: 3 appetizers and 1 first course (as a first course), then 3 first courses and 1 second course (as a second course), then 1 plate of mussels (we were too greedy), 2 desserts, 2 glasses of sweet wines, 3 waters and 1 bottle of wine of which I do not remember the price. At the beginning of the dinner they brought two entrées and after the dessert 3 small samples of pastries. I highly recommend it and I also recommend going during the week and avoiding the weekend because during the week it is quieter (we went on a Wednesday evening).

20/05/2025: Magical place and quiet atmosphere, especially in low season. Local and kind staff, attentive to needs. Open kitchen. Outside with garden and lemon house for a lunch or dinner in a dreamy setting. Excellent raw materials, well treated. Starred plating. I have been going there for about 20 years; some changes in the menu over the years, but certain dishes are a certainty, reinterpreted. Excellent. Spending on the rise in recent years, an increase of about 20%, sometimes unjustified, a trend unfortunately common throughout the area, not secondary to the discovery and diffusion by influencers. About 70-80 euros per person excluding wine.

10/05/2025: A fantastic experience in this 2 Michelin star restaurant, being pampered in this location is priceless, it is located in an ancient Byzantine tower. The dishes have refined flavors that cannot be tried elsewhere. Alex was able to illustrate our tasting journey to us, step by step at each course with passion and extreme preparation in his work. Wonderful environment Advised!

05/05/2025: With two Michelin stars, the restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel. You have to sit in the sofa area on the first floor of the hotel and wait until you arrive outside to take a table. The dining space is located in an ancient tower built in the 6th century AD and can only accommodate 7 tables. The decoration is simple and the lighting is almost only based on a table lamp. Although it is enough for eating, there is definitely no lighting design for you to take pictures 😂 The guests are entertained with a highly controlled politeness and restraint. They always serve the dishes at the same time, confirm each guest's choice, and ask the guests what they think of each dish. It seems that I have never experienced this kind of outhouse service in Taiwan (maybe the Paris restaurant is closer) The quality of the food is commensurate with the two stars, the techniques are delicate but not difficult to understand, the flavors are layered but not complicated, some echo the tradition, and some are novel in orientation, but in the end they do not break away from the essence of Italian cuisine. Even if a few dishes are a bit hesitant, the overall flaws are not concealed. Welcome drink Originally it seemed to be champagne, but after we ordered non-alcoholic drinks, the restaurant took the initiative to change it. It had the delicate aroma of white cantaloupe, the citrus flavor of grapefruit, and finally the herbal aroma of sage. It was a rather elegant start and seemed to hint at some Asian flavors in the later menu. Appetizers Goat cheese/grapefruit Grapefruit gel makes the goat cheese smell feel light Oyster/bell pepper sauce The oysters are delicious and plump, the sour and spicy sauce and the bright green oil are simply delicious. Amberjack ham/horseradish Horseradish’s bright, spicy and herbal flavor is a crowd-pleaser Bread/mackerel/yuzu The bread was a little too soft, but the aroma of cooked mackerel was strong and the citrus flavor was nice chicken liver pate Use berries to make a glass-like shell, and then wrap it in rich and smooth chicken liver pate. The light sourness and sweetness of the berry skin makes the liver pate much softer. bread There are five kinds of bread sticks, the bread sticks are crunchy, the pepper aroma is good, the seaweed nut crisps are full and salty; the taralli shortbread has the aroma of brown sugar and the spiciness of ginger; the small piece of schiacciata bread with pork back fat has a good fat aroma, but the bread tastes a bit soft and sticky; the main bread itself is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the olive oil and grassy bitterness when paired with it are wonderful Red shrimp/tomato bread/caviar The shrimp meat is soft and sweet, and the saltiness of the caviar adds a lot of color. The sweet and sour tomato wrapped in the crispbread roll in the middle is eye-catching, and the fresh aroma of olives and green oil at the bottom is also good. It seems simple but rich in flavor. The crispy cakes made with shrimp heads and shells on the side are basically shrimp cakes😆 Smoked amberjack/Bernaise sauce/lemon jelly/celery The smoky flavor of the amberjack is quite strong, but the flavor of the fish itself is not obvious. The egg flavor of the sauce is full, but a little too much. It is suitable for dipping into bread. Eel/Tosa vinegar/Almond/Tarragon A very Japanese dish, the eel skin is a bit crispy, the meat and oil are very delicate, but I don’t quite understand the logic of pairing it with almonds. The aroma of tarragon sauce is good, but it feels like it could be more, the balance is too Japanese. Duck/Peanut/Chestnut/Truffle/Raspberry The duck meat was a little dry, and the sauce was too much and the flavor was a bit mixed, especially the strong aroma of peanuts, but I really liked the sweet and sour taste of fresh berries. On the side is toasted crispy bread sandwiched with duck ham and liquid orange. It tastes good, but the main flavor is orange, and the ham doesn't have much presence. Straight noodles/seaweed cream sauce/bergamot/sea urchin/tuna roe The noodles taste great. The seaweed cream sauce has a rich seaweed aroma, followed by the salty taste of fish. Finally, it ends with the elegant aroma of lemon and bergamot. It should be my favorite dish today. Raviolo dumplings/ricotta cheese/Neapolitan meat sauce The meat sauce is rich in flavor and has a distinct tomato aroma. The dumpling wrapper has a good texture, but has a more traditional and earthy taste. Red snapper/sweet and sour basil sauce/onion sauce/garlic sauce Using bread to pretend to be fish skin is very clever. The bread is thick and crispy, wrapping the extremely tender fish meat. The contrast between the two is huge and eye-catching. The sauce base is a bit like canned mackerel in tomato sauce, but it adds a lot of depth with sweet onion sauce and garlic sauce. There are tomato-filled bread and mini waffles on the side. The bread is crispy, but the filling has too little flavor; the waffles are soft and paired with anchovy sauce. I don’t quite understand the purpose of putting them here. Squab/apple/teriyaki sauce/artichoke I also missed some notes here. I remember that the breast meat was a little dry, but it was paired with a lot of teriyaki sauce and applesauce, so it didn't matter. The pigeon legs on the side were cooked well, and they were paired with quinoa to add a crispy texture, and the leg meat was juicy. After the salty meal, the napkins and water glasses are replaced, which also reminds the guests to change their mood. I like this kind of thoughtfulness. Chocolate soufflé Let's go straight to the main dessert. It's a very big one and it's hot when served. The aroma of chocolate is full and rich. It's a straight-up dessert. But after the whole menu, such a portion is too much to bear 😂 Originally, the pre-dessert was moved to the end to clear the mouth, but I personally feel that it would be better to have it before the soufflé. I missed the note here, but my impression is that it is refreshing and delicious. There was tea at the end, but I couldn’t eat any more, so I packed it away. I gave five of them, including French fudge, chocolate, madeleines, etc. It was still delicious to eat the next morning.

18/05/2025: Ristorante molto carino, curato, pulito. Il cibo è di ottima qualità ed è servito in modo fantasioso e gradevole. Personale gentile, cordiale e disponibile. Prezzo medio, in linea con quanto offerto.

18/05/2025: We had the pleasure of dining in this typical Tuscan restaurant, and we had a great time!!! I highly recommend. Very friendly and kind staff

23/05/2025: La fiorentina cotta a legna è buonissima. Il servizio è più unico che raro, coccolati con antipasto, contorni e dolce. Non si può rimanere delusi.

19/05/2025: Sono ritornata ancora una volta a cenare da Bisteccatoscana con degli amici e come sempre non ha deluso le mie aspettative!! Antipasti sfiziosissi, bistecca buonissima e un dolce finale, per non parlare della vasta selezione di vini tra cui scegliere. Personale puntuale, gentile ed attento ai minimi dettagli. Ci ritorneremo presto!!

27/04/2025: Cena in un locale piccolo ma molto accogliente. Abbiamo preso due primi tipici del posto (pasta fatta in casa) e un secondo assieme ad un calice di vino. Tutto davvero molto buono, anche i proprietari molto gentili e disponibili. Una nota allo chef (credo che si tratti del proprietario) che più di una volta è passato per i tavoli per chiederci se la cena stesse proseguendo bene, cosa non molto comune ma che abbiamo apprezzato. Consigliato e sicuramente ritorneremo

16/04/2025: We were seven adults, all frequent visitors of very fine restaurants around the world, and everyone left saying it was one of the best meals they've ever had. Each bite was accompanied by wows and also each sip of the house red wine (which we then bought plenty of to take home). The service was also wonderful. So happy we stopped by.

26/05/2025: Friendly and attentive service, interesting and tasty menu

18/05/2025: Cozy little place, with tables both inside and outside, furnished in an original way with modern pieces of various styles and beautiful REAL succulents on the tables. Kind and friendly service, open kitchen, everything extremely clean and well-kept. Not the usual tourist trap place! Basic menu, but sufficiently varied and well-kept; everything we ordered (first courses, side dishes, desserts) was exquisite. To be repeated! Compliments to the owners for their management and their work.

07/06/2025: Elegant place, very nice service. Worth to pay.

29/05/2025: We have been several times and each time it is a fantastic experience, pampered, looked after and nothing left to chance. Excellent food and attentive service, trained and attentive staff. Always a beautiful evening!

22/05/2025: Has nothing to do with good Italian pizza, but it's okay for a snack.

21/05/2025: Great pizza! Everytime I visit Siena, La Piccola Ciaccineria is a mandatory stop.

11/05/2025: Traditional dishes revisited. Characteristic place. Friendly staff

07/05/2025: Materie prime eccellenti, attenzione al cliente, piatti innovativi. Buonissime le linguine alle seppie e limone… cantucci fatti da loro buonissimi.

17/05/2025: Noche especial con menú degustación y maridaje de vinos. Hemos estado en muchos restaurantes con estrellas Michelin de 1 a 3 estrellas. Algunos deliciosos y pretenciosos, otros increíbles tanto en inventiva como en amabilidad. Este restaurante merece todos los elogios por una maravillosa experiencia general. Un toque encantador fue pedir nuestras opiniones durante el servicio, por lo que ayudó a centrar suavemente nuestras catas y, además, parecía valorar nuestras aportaciones y opiniones. Dos destacados fueron nuestros Camarera/servidora - Domiziana y sumiller Leonardo. ¡Fueron increíbles! En general, recomiendo encarecidamente la experiencia general.

11/05/2025: Wonderful evening thanks to the culinary journey of a cuisine refined in flavors and raw materials, but a special thanks goes to the hospitality and professionalism of Marco and Leonardo who made us feel at home. Advised!! Sara and Federico
