When she didn't come back around again, we resorted to broken English/Italian, gestures and later google translate to give them compliments and order take away. This is an authentic local establishment and the ppl are so nice and accommodating. Fantastic homey restaurant nestled deep in the Tuscan countryside. On our to the restaurant, we wondered if google maps were leading us astray but just keep on going. There's plenty of parking outside. On our way back, we actually saw a wild boar roaming around!

This being my wife's favorite, decided to make a special trip to San Gimignano just to try them out! We made reservations and I am glad we did because by 8pm, every table was full. The place is very small and dark, but they add a small LED light at each table giving just the right amount of light to read the menu. We reviewed the menu only to find that they no longer have gnocchi. She was disappointed at first, but absolutely loved her entree. We weren't vey hungry so no starters tonight, but they brought bread and some sort of potato fritter that had bits of octopus in it. I loved it, my wife stopped eating it when she found out about the octopus! She was fine before I told her. We order a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and I went for the wild boar ragu while the wife tried I Fagottini Del Contadino, pasta stuffed with pears & pecorino cheese in a saffron and pecorino sauce. Spectacular! The pear had a little sweet and the pecorino a little salt and the sauce was velvety smooth and delicious! My ragu was very hearty with lots of pork. Simply delicious. They had crème brûlée, which is my wife favorite. We still had a little wine left, so she ordered that and I got the double chocolate cake with orange marmalade. We both enjoyed our deserts very much. While they didn't have gnocchi, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

As a…read moretourist, it felt like a really authentic Italian experience with true tuscan cuisine (as seen as we were surrounded by locals). First, the staff was so incredibly helpful, kind and attentive which is always great to find!! The burrata and pepper starter was absolutely delicious and packed full of tomato flavor. Free bruschetta was also provided during the meal and it was one of the best i've had, more finely chopped than most bruschettas! The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and the lasagna was pretty solid as well. I also highly recommend the pistachio dessert! It's not just gelato as it has a gooey warm center and a cookie base but it was even better than expected. I love this place and would go back in a heart beat!
