They deserve a 4.5 - wish I could give half stars! We had a tasting menu, with multiple courses. Keep in mind, the people who brought us here were friends with the owner, so who knows if they have this stuff on the menu. :) The appetizer platter was my favorite, with the prosciutto over lettuce being the best of the 3. My second favorite was the ricotta filled dumplings. Not quite ravioli (too soft), but oh so tasty! Desert was just okay - I sent next to a baker who said the sweets weren't as good as hers - so maybe I was biased!

The owner, Eduardo, treats you like family. we put ourselves in his hands. We had the appetizer sampler which was outstanding. I cannot say enough praise. Husband had Beef Tongue that melts in your mouth. Friends shared a Tuscan T-Bone steak which is cooked medium rare. I had a roulade of braised veal. Then the dessert sampler came out! Then add ons kept coming out. Eduardo even gave us each a bag with biscotti to take with us. Eduardo's wife cooks everything! I highly recommend you do not miss this restaurant. It is very reasonably price.

We walked here from our hotel -- about a 10-minute walk -- and we arrived to find the place packed with reservations in waiting. They still managed to get us in! That's customer service! Fabio took care of us, along with another young lady whose name I did not catch. They were spectacular. I'm a Texas guy, and we eat beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was impressed with the Steak Florentine here. It was tender and was mildly flavored with herbs and butter. The roasted potatoes were OK. The cannellini beans in tomato sauce almost stole the show. What a wonderful combination of meaty white beans and sweet tomato sauce! And the tiramisu was divine. This place was packed on our visit, and it is no surprise, because they are very good at what they do. Still, it was comfy, and we were well taken care of.

If Montecatini Alto is your fantasy image of a hip, but historical Medieval hillside town in the…read moreTuscan region, then La Torre is probably pretty close to the image you have of a delightful street-side café, where you can people watch for hours on end while enjoying some wine/beer and sharing several small plates. When you look around, it's almost easy to believe you're on a movie set or sitting down for a rest in a highly detailed theme park area. The surroundings are just that beautiful and idealistic. The food is simple, but incredibly tasty and wonderful for sharing among friends or with a significant other. Of particular note is the focaccia with thinly-sliced ham and melted cheese, and its sister-offering with salami and cheese. I could honestly eat either of those two items every day while I'm in town. This café also offers a nice selection of local wines and other small plates and shareable items that can satisfy any appetite. The service is friendly and prompt, and I always feel well taken care of by the team. This isn't necessarily the highest-end dining choice in the village, but it's certainly one of my favorites.
