We stayed nearby and walked in one day to get some wine, and wow--they have some very special wines that you can't find in other wine shops, and they have great price points for the quality.

I really appreciated a chance to get some good examples of Tuscan styles side by side. Yeah, it's E25, but it's far better than 4 of the E6 glasses you'll get elsewhere, plus the portions on the boards are very generous. Honestly, the "snack" size could serve 2. I really wanted to just sit and read a book and drink wine for an hour, and this perfectly fit the bill. One star minus because the whole place has one dude to make boards, pour wine, explain wine, and run the front bottle shop. I know Italian service is slower, but oof.

The place was packed and it appeared they only had one guy working there. He was trying his best to get to everyone, but there were delays. Yet, he still smiled and worked hard to make sure guests were taken care of. Their wine selection is very nice; they offer flights, glasses, or bottles. If you're into wine, it's a nice place to stop!

It was just us and they (the owner & his daughter) were super nice as they said they'd be happy to stay open. All the glasses on offer that night were local Italian wines so we obviously didn't know much about them. But after talking with the owner, he poured us glasses of a local dry white wine which was very good. I don't think it was even in the list as he pulled it out of a different cabinet. The place was very quaint, very local, family run. Would go back in a heartbeat

I don't know if it's slow to me because crazy Americans think everything should be faster than not. So I wish I could give half stars. They are super nice ..,it just took a while to get my order in. The second thing that I don't think they can control is the people who walk around trying to sell you something. They're a bit aggressive. With me looking like them, they beelined for me the two times we sat there near the entrance. So I suggest sitting inside away from that because they can't come in. There is this little cute table that we sat at that is on the edge of the inside but the window is a roll up window giving you access to the outside patio. That is where the can still get to you but can't come all the way in....except this one lady. She stepped all the way in....i was shocked. And got aggressive with me when I told her no thank you. The trick?...they told me "I'm beautiful" "like your natural hair..." and since they liked me, they said "I give to you..." and handed me two bracelets and a fan. I said no thank you and she kept shouting "excuse me...I give to you..." I set them on the table and she gave me the son story of being pregnant and since she give to me, I should give to her for the gift. I said no one final time and she snatched everything off the table and left...FINALLY. Ugh. So not sure if the restaurant can do more but they need to.

After a few…read moreother popular places being booked out 3 months in advance, I put in my calendar to make reservations the day it opened up. It was crazy how fast the day was greyed out! I reached out to the restaurant and they were so accommodating to fit us into the only day we could visit. They send you a text the day of to reconfirm your reservations. The vineyard looks amazing at first glance! You walk up their famous spiral staircase to get to the restaurant. Too bad it was raining the morning before we visited because outdoor seating would have been nice in the tented area. There were still covered outside seating but we opted to dine in. They gave us an amazing table facing the vineyard so we could appreciate the scenery. Weather worked for us because we got to enjoy our entire lunch without any rain. We looked at the menu and Mink ordered their Maccheroncelli al sugo di anatra and I ordered Tagliata di manzo alla griglia e patate arrosto medium rare. They came out with complimentary bread and poured some of their current EVOO on suggesting we add a little salt. EVOO in Italy is amazing! It was a good snack while I was going through three wines by the glass list. The food came out after 10-15 minutes and we dug in. Mink enjoyed her order but is at the point of the trip where she's had too much pasta. She did really like my potatoes though. My dish was prepared perfectly and was a good compliment to all the wine I was drinking. After we finished eating, we were offered dessert but declined. They brought out some complimentary dessert for us anyways which was very nice. This is absolutely something you should do when in Tuscany. The taxi ride was a little pricey at €140 round trip (about 16 minute each way). It was still a lot cheaper than Uber though. If Mink drank, I would have loved to have done the wine tasting but the compromise was dining at Rinuccio 1180. Good food, beautiful view and exceptional service. Ecstatic that I got to visit Antinori nel Chianti Classico winery (2022 best winery in the world).

Our friend realized he messed up our reservation day on the drive over and thank god the staff graciously allowed us to dine with them for lunch anyway. We started with a beautiful cheese and spread selection, a white fish puttanesca salad that was fresh and crisp. The mushroom soup unfortunately was a huge flop comparably to the tier of the other appetizers. Everything about it was not good (texture, flavor), presentation- they emulsified it so no physical mushrooms were present. Though the (small serving) of pasta, fish and lamb rack (served medium rare, more rare than medium) did not disappoint! We finished with this lemon passion fruit meringue pie which was one of the best things I've ever had in my life. The apple tart and complimentary sweets were also great. But all in all, while some dishes had took for opportunity, you're coming here for the views and experience. It feels like you're sitting on a movie set. So not skip this when in Tuscany!
