Sister ordered spaghetti but did not know it came with squid ink, she didn't like it. My parents said it was good, though. (I didn't try it) I ordered risotto, which was really yummy! It came with a piece of shrimp and some sort of sauce. It was quite strong and a bit too overpowering for me, but overall, it was great! Mom ordered the sea bass- it was so so good! I wish I would have ordered it myself. It was so light and fluffy and it came with a spectacular-tasting sauce! Dad ordered the daily catch- which was another type of sea bass. It was even lighter than my mother's fish! It felt like air! It literally melted in my mouth. Delish! Service was also on point! Overall, I had a great lunch and would return again.

The service we received from the owner was fantastic from the first moment we arrived. If you like spicy, the owner makes his housemade spicy olive oil that adds a nice kick and touch to the food (luckily we were given a few bottles to take home with us)! We had read wonderful reviews of theirs restaurant and I'm happy to say that every dish was delicious and lived up to expectation! We've basically tried everything on the menu between the eight of us and our 3 dinners here. It's hard to pick my favorite dish, but the steak tartare was so fresh and focused on the taste of the beef with its minimalistic presentation. The Spaghetti alla chitarra al ragù di pesce was very different and the first that I've seen on a menu, but oh so delicious! The Tagliata di manzo con rucola, parmigiano e patate al forno is quite memorable, with its fresh taste of grill on the medium rare sliced steak. The tiramisu here is a must have and does run out, so make sure you have the owner out one aside for when you're ready for dessert. There is just something special in the food here that make it so delicious, the service is attentive and warm, and that tiramisu is really something else! So glad this restaurant was a part of our Tuscan experience - can't wait to go back for another few meals! Thank you for such a memorable Tuscan dining experience, O Per Bacco! The Mack Family

THE best food I ate my entire trip in Italy (by-far)…read more You have it in your mind that just because you are in Italy that everything is going to be better than Olive Garden or Chef Boyardee. Nope. This place met all my expectations of what a small-town Italian ristorante is meant to be. Our visit to another place locally yielded poor results, with sub-par food and offerings proving my point that our idea of Italian food doesn't hold water. O'perBacco was recommended by another great Trattoria that was closing due to our American stereotypical attention to details such as hours of operation. Oops. That mistake ended up being a blessing in disguise as the location on the piazza with the statue of Giotto made for the perfect backdrop with Italian families enjoying the beautiful weather. This is what I had envisioned when signing up for this trip. This is the postcard-picture you hope for. We were greeted immediately, and sat on the piazza for that little extra touristy flare that worked perfect for our group. In broken English, and menus in English for our less informed, we ended up chosing all the specials and NOT ONE PERSON complained. House wine was on-point, and the food quality was tremendously fresh and well prepared for what I had fear was going to be another bust. Not tonight Luigi. I would come back to Italy JUST to eat at this place.

Above par service in a quaint little trattoria in Tuscan wine country. It was described as "a…read morehome-cooked meal" and it definitely lived up to the description. Upon arrival a quirky and fun-loving waitress cleared a table and served us immediately. At 2100 hrs, the place was packed with three large parties of 10 or more with three additional small tables seated. We had water, pastas, bruschetta and tea. Everything was delicious! I recommend the "lard" bruschetta, which looked like sliced turkey meat on bread but delivered a very different flavor, one that tasted very good with tomatoes and salt. I also loved the 3-cream cheese pasta. All served promptly and the staff spoke great english. I highly recommend this off-the-beaten path Trattoria. Thank you Francesco!

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

Perfection - We hosted our wedding welcome (rehearsal) dinner at Castello del Trebbio's restaurant…read moreSosta del Gusto. We worked with Alberto and Sabrina on this mission. Both of them were a pleasure to communicate with. Since Alberto couldn't be there the day of our event in July, we dealt mainly with Sabrina during planning. What a huge help she was - she responded to us quickly, answered all of our questions, allayed our concerns with everything, volunteered for small tasks, she was just an incredible person and so helpful, kind, and enthusiastic about everything, she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would work with her again in a second. We loved her! Together we planned a 4-course special menu for our welcome dinner - this was a collaborative effort, with Sabrina ultimately giving us the final say and offering much flexibility. I printed my own menus using an online vendor but the restaurant can also print the menus for you. Our guests still tell us how the food and wine were excellent, they were thrilled with the quality, taste and presentation of everything. Sabrina also helped us plan a champagne toast/reception after we started the evening with a castle and wine cellar tour. Everybody loved the our - Marta was an excellent tour guide, very engaging and personable, she had people laughing and learning, and we look back on these memories very fondly. The champagne toast was set up on the restaurant's brick patio, overlooking a valley and more mountains. It is stunningly gorgeous, I didn't want the event or the evening to end. We opted to eat dinner indoors only because our wedding dinner was going to be outside the next day. Sosta del Gusto is totally set up to have an outdoor dinner in the above described patio area. They do lots of weddings at their place and for good reason - it is a really really beautiful property. Even though we never got to meet Alberto he was helpful in initial planning and Sabrina was an amazing hostess - she really is a great person. No regrets at all with going to Sosta Del Gusto and Castello del Trebbio for our event, we would visit again no question. Highly recommend both the castle and this restaurant for any visit or event of any type. Very professional staff and beautiful presentation. Thanks again!!
