We looked up a place to stop for lunch during our drive from Montepulciano to Lucca. The reviews and timing sent us here. This lunch was truly one of our best meals in the whole of Italy! You must stop here. You will be in heaven. The town itself isn't much to see outside the typical square and church. There is a parking lot a few blocks away from the restaurant. Park there and walk over. There is no menu here. And you don't need one. Though feel free to ask if there is soup or something in particular you're looking for. Daniel served an antipasto, a pasta course, and a meat course. The antipasto was orgasmic! And beautifully presented. We had no idea what we were in for. Daniele, a handsome & sassy gent, greeted us and basically asked us if we wanted to start with an antipasto. We said yes. And the ride began. Wow! To describe each bite of each peice is impossible. He also brought out some sort of bean dish as a side with bread. Delicious, but filling. Then he came and asked us if we wanted pasta. Again we said yes without asking any questions. It was a homemade ravioli--delicious. We were so full after that when he came and asked us if we wanted a meat dish we had to reluctantly decline. We got up to pay and it was $40 for the two of us, which included one glass of wine for me since I wasn't driving. We are still talking about this meal. So happy for my fellow reviewers input. Stop in Montevarchi and eat here! You will have a taste of heaven. Daniele was gracious, friendly, and filled out bellies with love and goodness for the road trip. Thank you! read more

This was a highlight of our trip to Italy! AMAZING. We had a fantastic time dining here. The experience was 5 star, in a nice, cozy, family style restaurant. We were able to taste the freshness and love that was put into the preparation of our dishes. I can not say enough to do this review justice. Everything was awesome. Food, drinks, ambiance, A+. You guys did a great job and we will definitely stop by again the next time we are in Italy :) read more
