I went there for a lunch on a Sunday and after quite a road (do not trust googlemap which locates the restaurant in the wrong place! but if you take the correct road from Florence, it should not take you more than 25minutes) and i was really charmed by the place. The surroundings are beautiful and the building itself is an old typical one with stones and wood: charming. The appetizer plate (10€ for crostinis, vegetables, a bit of ham and cheese) was very good. Then the bistecca was also very good. We took it tartufata but to be honest, i did not taste the truffle taste; but the meat was very tender. With that, a (huge! i have never seen such a huge mushrooms, i wonder where this one came from!) funghi on the grill: delicious. The prices are very reasonable: the bistecca is so so much cheaper than in Florence... There was a wedding in another room so i guess you can privatize the place for special events!

This was the best meal of my life. We were there over 4 hours (by choice) and had a huge selection…read moreof antipasto (fig wrapped in salami, some kind of dill sauce on fried polenta, prosciutto and cheese, etc). The primo was truffle penne, purple gnocchi, and ravioli bolognese. Il secondo was florentine steak (at least 7-9cm thick) and a side of wild boar. The wine was wonderful, two types were served: a chianti Classico and a typical Tuscan red. Our waiter explained how important it was to trust the vineyard and that they have bought wine from the same people for almost 30 years! For dessert we had cookies similar to biscotti and some kind of liquor to dip it in. We chose nothing from the menu and trusted the waiter for everything. He did not let us down. Would go again any time I am in Italia.

Gnocchi and wild boar ragu (think pot roast sort of taste) were both great. Salad ok. Reasonable prices. Not the best dinner I had but 30-50% less than our other meals. About $65 for two of us with a bottle of Chianti. So 5 stars--not because I'm going to dream about it--but because it was a solid mid-range meal in downtown Florence.

Nonetheless, getting a reservation within their allotted window was actually quite easy. As soon as we arrived, we KNEW the sunset would be unrivaled. It was the perfect Tuscan sunset. I'll start with the food: fantastic. We had the ragu, a beef filet, steak carpaccio, and marinated tomatoes. zero complaints - everything was perfectly simple and truly delicious. The service was next level: from the giant glass of digestif presented to my father-in-law for his birthday to the round of complimentary desserts and limoncello, the service was full of joy! As we left, our server was sharing some personal tales with us. He really bonded with my father-in-law and ended up gifting him a bottle of wine that had familial significance/connection between us! We were so grateful for this special experience and have the signed bottle sitting out still today. If you want a great meal, with an incredible view, and even better service, hurry over to Osteria di Casa Chianti!

The waiter grabbed a dish from our table to show it to another customer so they could see what it looked like. Didn't even ask. No gloves. No nothing. Just grabbed our plate like it was all good and displayed it to a table of six and then handed it back. Ew. Then the waitress decides to tell me that we have a smaller glass but it was more full. I had to straight up grab the empty glass next to me from another customer and pour water into it so she can see. It would be one thing to say "Oh, I'm sorry about that". And I'd be over it. But it's the fact that she kept on insisting it was the same that bothered me. Then has the nerve to ask if I want dessert.. No? Decent food but the service was absolute crap.
