In brief: This place really is about the good things. Good food. Good wine. Good company. Good music. Good price. From the minute we walked in we felt like family, and we ended up coming back three times in a two day period, enough said. Not so brief: I can't say enough about this place. I'm a Canadian and living here for two years, I know it's rare to find that place we all dream of when we think of going to Italy. Where the hosts are there to really give an all around experience. Every dish was exquisite in taste, ingredients, and presentation. We were introduced to classics and little known wines. And we enjoyed lively conversations with the truly knowledgeable, interesting, and hospitable owner and the chef. My husband is Italian from Tuscany, yet I can't count the number of the times he said these were among the best meals of his life. He opted for seafood dishes and was blown away each time. I don't eat much seafood and ended up enjoying many custom creations from both on and off the menu, including some vegetarian options. Every one a delight. In our tour of Chianti we always ate well, but had come to expect the typical tourist traps - decent food and wine in small portions with a 50% add-on to the price of everything just for being in that zone. Places where you always end up thinking, yeah, it's good, but we (or at least my mother-in-law), could make it better. This place was another world entirely. Feast like royalty. Feel like family. Pay an honest price. And seriously though, the music. We made the two-hour drive back home Sunday evening and almost got right back in the car to return for dinner... Definitely recommended.

Very good restaurant in a category “normal” dining. Really good food, service and very nice staff.
Fantastic little place. The owner and the rest of the staff were very kind. They helped us find a good wine and the food was very delicious. My highest recommendation is to try this place.
Amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and our waiter was attentive and explained to us everything (the menu is only in Italian). It’s small and the decor is rustic, which we loved. We had a starter, two mains and a dessert. Mineral water and a glass of wine. It was 50 euros, which is what you expect for the fantastic quality of the food. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Delicious food simply cooked. The menu is absolutely incredible and the staff were lovely. Enjoyed it so much our first night we went again the second night. Cannot recommend highly enough.
