A Wonderful Tuscan Dining Experience…read more We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Osteria di Casa Chianti! We were there celebrating a birthday, and meeting the owner, Max, made the experience even more special. His genuine passion for his restaurant, his food, and his guests is easy to see and really adds to the experience. The food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere made for a memorable evening in Tuscany. Max made us feel welcomed and truly took the time to make our celebration special. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back the next time we're in Tuscany. Highly recommend Osteria di Casa Chianti!

We were greeted and seated immediately! We decided to order the prefixed menu and my husband also ordered the wine pairing! So impressed with the presentation! Creative and fun to enjoy! The flavors were phenomenal! Each course was introduced and new set of utensils provided. Utensils were placed on a flat decorative stone. First time experiencing the utensils placed this way! Wonderful way to place the utensils on the table! My favorite was the ravioli with liquid Parmigiano cream!! Reminded me of the Asian soup dumplings! I absolutely loved this ravioli! We selected the fish as the main course. First time eating Amber Jack Fish It was so delicious! So much fun to eat the Nello dessert with crackling sugar! No utensils! LOL We used our fingers and moist toilettes were provided! SWEET RIBOLLITA White beans, carrot, celery, black cabbage, white chocolate and olive for dessert! A healthy dessert with veggies that was amazing! The small pastries presentation was MAGNIFICENT! And every pastry was delectable! The wine paired with the dessert was a sweet sensation! I took a sip! Highest compliments to the Chefs and Team! Thank you! Highly recommend! Grazie for such a special night !

We stumbled upon this while driving from Florence city center to the Tuscan countryside (USA tourists;) and yelp led us right. A limited menu with a few different tasting menus, we went à la carte and had the exploding raviolis and boar tagliatelle and they were both SO SO SO DELICIOUS! Small-er, but well appointed art deco-type decor...with one waitress and one sommelier...the wine recommendations were perfect! Things that sounded 'different' than what we are used to, just worked...and worked perfectly. Don't negate this place for its limited menu or combinations that you might not be used to, give it a try bc EveryThing we put in our mouths was top notch. Truly deserving of its Michelin Star rating. It's really that good. A closed-minded me from my youth would have written it off based on its pretentious-sounding dishes, but older, open-minded me did me a favor. Yummy in my tummy. Satisfying. Delicious. Don't miss out!

One of my favorite meals during my recent visit to Florence was at Trattoria di Sor Paolo. Our tour…read moreguide, Vittorio, from Italy and Wine brought us here for lunch. Trattoria di Sor Paolo is located in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, a small province in the Chianti region, outside of Florence. The restaurant is located away from the touristy sights of Florence so the majority of diners are locals instead of tourists. Our tour guide ordered for our table and we were treated to a delicious spread of Tuscan treats. Our lunch included the local chianti wine, crostini with chicken liver pate, white Tuscan beans, and tomatoes, Pappa al Pomodoro (Tuscan tomato and bread soup), and Pappardelle al Ragu Di Cinghiale (fettuccine with wild boar ragu). The dishes were so simple, yet so delicious! The high quality, fresh ingredients stood out on their own in Sor Paolo's traditional Tuscan dishes. If you are in the San Casciano in Val di Pesa area I highly recommend dining at this wonderful restaurant!

There was an obvious favoritism shown to the locals as there was only one couple in the restaurant when we came in and every other table that came in after us was served, ate, drank espressos, and left BEFORE we ever had our food.

What started out as a late lunch while discovering the hillside town of Peccioli. We had ducked in to pick a few pastries from the shining cold-case, and saw that there we tables open, so we said..."Wanna...?" We were so impressed with the food, the savory waffle, the steak tartar, the cheesecake and pastries. The atmosphere and loving family service made us feel like we were locals who had stopped into our regular place. We finished with a rich cup of coffee and Ferretti's famous Biscotti. Those biscotti are sooooo delicious that we had to buy a couple of containers of them for the road.... they traveled with us throughout Italy and we hoarded them for morning coffee each day. Our waiters were the sons of the owners, and they were so charming. They shared with us some of their own travels, especially in the U.S. (our home). Our advice; roam the farmers' market in the town square and, right there, stop into Pasticceria Ferretti. They even have a nice sidewalk seating area in that pedestrian only area. P.S. The town has a great parking garage with a famous modern-art foot bridge.... memorable, photogenic!

We found Trattoria Za Za, but could not get reservations. We showed up with 60 people waiting in line like us. The line moved quickly and we were seated in a glass enclosure with nice views. The menu is vast and the food flying out of the kitchen looked amazing. An appetizer of lightly battered squash blossoms was unique and enjoyed by all. Our first choice was the green peppercorns and Cognac cream covering a steak with rosemary potatoes. This was the best dishes of our 17 day excursion. The steak was perfect while the sauce was incredibly delicious. The steak with argula salad was our second choice. It was also savory and highly recommended. The setting here is great, amazing food, good value and a truly relaxed environment. If you are in Florence, please treat yourself to a fine meal at Trattoria Za Za for that special evening. To the establishment, great restaurant and we will return. Congrats on a beautiful evening.
