We've been spoiled by many good pasticcerias last summer when we travelled through Italy. Compared to them this place does holp up quite well. The pastries weren't that great I have to say. But the cookies (Amaretti, with pine nuts, almond etc.) were really quite good and worth a buy. Surely we couldn't buy or try them all and some items might be a bit of a hit'n'miss. But some of the were really good, so you really should give it a try.

When we visited, there was a line about 15 people deep out the door, but it moved reasonably quickly. They offer a wide range of unique flavors -- things like rosemary, lavender, and other creative combinations you don't usually see. It makes for a fun experience trying something different. All the flavors we tried were good, and overall the gelato was excellent. We've had some incredible gelato elsewhere in Italy, but this was still very enjoyable. Worth stopping in if you're in San Gimignano. Grab some and enjoy by the well in the center of the piazza.

However, I completely devoured the half-dozen cookies I ordered in near record time. Everything was light, flavorful, and fresh. There's nothing quite like baked cookies from someone with a lot of experience and traditional training. If you're around the piazza, I highly recommend grabbing some selections and sitting down on the church steps outside. It's one of a kind experience that you'll remember for the rest of your life.

When we stopped by Il Giardinetto, it seemed very authentic and was super busy with everyone speaking Italian. The seating area is in the middle of the square and a great location. We ordered our standard vegetarian meal-bruschetta, pizza, and salad. The bruschetta was simply excellent with the perfect amount of salt, olive oil, and garlic. The pizza (tomato basil) was probably the best we had in Italy. The salad was good and fresh, very simple as we love it. This might have just been the best food we had in all of Italy. The prices were also super cheap. I think our whole meal was under 20 euro.
