Very nice people and patio. But the food is uneven, with some plates lovely and the other ones under-sauced, flavored, or otherwise lacking. There are several better places in the area. If you go, skip the antipasti, get the gnocchi (either type), and focus on veggies and beans as sides. read more

I don't write reviews often, but this was truly a splendid experience. The ambience was super laid back and the food was incredible (carbonara to die for, smoked pork chop will melt in your mouth)! Katia was absolutely electric - very passionate, spunky, and personable!! 5 stars and more!! Xoxo Mr. Carbonara read more

This place is worth the visit. The owner, Katia, is fantastic. The food and wine are top notch. Definitely try the veal!

Jesus, this restaurant has no business being without a Yelp listing. We had our best meal in Italy here, by far! After a handful of subpar meals at well reviewed spots in Tuscany, we were leary about trying these guys. Aside from not being on Yelp, they have a listing on a popular travel site with so many positive reviews from people with only 1 review that I could have sworn they were all fake. But no! This place is truly spectacular! From start to finish our lunch was amazing. We ordered the traditional Tuscan pork chop served with tomatoes, olives, onions, bacon, and fennel seeds in a red wine sauce (it also came with white beans in tomato sauce), the veal scallopini with a cream and mushroom sauce, served with a side of home fries, and the spaghetti with artichokes, garlic, and olive oil. First off, the pork chop was ridiculously flavorful. With every bite of that perfectly cooked chop I was savoring the sweet tomato and onion, the bite of the black olive, the distinct fennel taste, the smokiness of the bacon, and of course let's not forget red wine. Just sensational and so great that I had to sop up the remaining sauce and juice with their awesome crispy bread. While I only had a few bites of it, it was immediately clear that the scallopini was also excellent; the meat was expertly prepared and very flavorful while the sauce was silky smooth, with a vibrant mushroom flavor. The home fries were a great accompaniment too. I hate home fries back home because almost nobody cooks them well. They're typically sitting around on the side of a grill just being kept warm and usually lacking a good solid crispiness. These were friggin stellar. Freshly cooked for the entree with the ideal amount of crispiness (I suspect they cooked them in a cast iron pan) along with a hint of flavorful butter, salt, and pepper. Finally, the spaghetti was a super simple dish, but a joy to eat. Fresh artichokes, heaps of garlic, good solid olive oil, and a light sprinkle of parm made this a keeper. After 3 great dishes there was no way we weren't getting dessert. We went with the panna cotta and a house made apple cake. Both were absolutely fantastic. Hell, even the coffee was great! These people have really created something special here. My hat's off to you guys! read more

The food was delicious but the best part was the location and the women that work there are incredibly gracious and friendly. Sitting outside on their gorgeous patio makes this the quintessential Tuscany lunch spot. A wide variety of antipasti and entrees all we tasted was excellent. We had melon and prosciutto which was fantastic! We ordered two specials which were delicious! The charm and food are outstanding!!! read more

Best dinner on our trip to Italy. Started with the artichokes in olive oil. They were in season and oh so elegant. Then moved onto eggs with white truffle. Again, truffles were on season. All complemented by an exceptional bottle of Barolo. It's also a lovely space - warm and contemporary. Cannot recommend it highly enough. read more

This was by far my best meal in Italy! I took the table d'hôte and it was wonderful. A surprising spaghetti for the first course was like nothing I had tried at home. My main was a bit too rich for my tastes but I could still appreciate it if not finish it. The service was really excellent! I was traveling alone through Tuscany and they really made me feel welcome even if it's unusual to eat alone in Europe. The staff were genuinely nice people. Probably the best part for me was grandma's cake for dessert recommended by the waitress. I'm not normally a fan of non chocolate desserts but this was fantastic! Almond and lemon! So fresh and lovely! Really enjoyed it! Worth the money! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Borgo Antico two nights ago. The food was amazing, the warm and cozy ambience was terrific, and we especially appreciated how welcoming the hosts were to our children and how they went out of their way to make sure the kids had a great meal. It was a lovely evening and a delicious dinner we won't soon forget. This is definitely a must-visit if you are in the area! read more

A great place for dinner, best Minestrone ever had and the service is perfect and friendly! Hope we will be able to come back soon!

We were on our honeymoon, and wanted a true Tuscan local experience. Borgo Antico is such a gem!! A wonderful, happy, fun local restaurant with the BEST food and amazing service!! We loved Katia so much we went back a second night. She made our Tuscan experience one we will never forget!! A MUST try if ever in the area. We love you Katia!! read more

Fabulous Italian food served by wonderful helpful staff. Have eaten here for 10 years.....it doesn't get better then this. Everything is perfectly cooked and perfectly presented. GOOOOOOOOOooooo if you are in the area read more

This place is wonderful!! Our waitress, Katie, was perfect (as was the rest of the staff) as she guided us through every delicious choice. Exactly what you would want from a Tuscan, hillside dining experience. Good food and good people. We were staying at Castello Del Nero and ended up going here because the restaurants at our hotel were booked. So happy we chose this place! Our only criticism would be to change the music choice. Not that we don't love hits of the 90's, but this place is way better than our American poolside jams...something more mood setting would be ideal! e.g. Old school jazz or classic Italian. Either way-This place is great! read more

Went there for a quick lunch (pranzo) - ordered very delicious Gnocchi alla Sorrentino (oven baked gnocchi with mozarella and tomato-sauce). Would go there again read more

One of the best in Tuscany! The owner is fabulous and has a terrific personality. The food is great. The prices are a bargain. You will want to go there every night. read more
