What Locals Say

Enrico Marchetti From Google 5

Great place to dine, especially if you like the classic “Tuscan home kitchen”, the one a local would actually look for, the one only an handful of elected tourists would be able to find because they know a local. The Tuscan antipasto and fresh and home made pastas are absolutely to die for...not recommended if you are on a diet!!! AMAZING is as well the pizza if you like the thin and crunchy edge one. The bier, wine and liquors selection is pretty good and what counts the most is the bill...very honest people. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if in the area

Thomas Eichberg From Google 5

Amazing service and food! We had the pizza with truffle and mushrooms, cabbage salad and tiramisu. Everything was so delicious and the service excellent! There is parking right outside, very convenient with some beautiful views. Perfect if you're looking for a local experience.
