We ended up here on a Sunday evening after a long day of travel. Most other places were closed but a local we happened across suggested L'artevino. We took a look at the menu and decided to give it a try. It's pretty much the small town, locals eat here, upscale kind of place. The ambiance was nice and the service was very good. We each picked a little something different because a lot of the staples of Italian food that one might see in Rome or Florence weren't on the menu and I was a little bummed because I was pretty hungry for something familiar. No, this was local cooking. I cannot recall the names of the dishes, but one was like a short rib, my pasta dish was like a local take on cacio e pepe. Different, but very tasty. As I said, this night I was looking for familiar but instead ended up with some local deliciousness! Try something new, the worst that can happen is you have a meal you don't like. But that is part of the adventure of travel. If we ever go back to the area, we will definitely stop in. read more

My husband and I did a trip to Tuscany recently, and this was one of our best meals. This is a great place to eat at if you are a tourist because the waitress is fluent in English. Make sure to leave room for dessert! read more

L'artevino - The best cake I had in Italy! - Montespertoli, PO

This is where we ate our first Italian meal! It definitely met our expectations, and set a very high bar for other restaurants to meet! We ordered a local Chianti, Tuscan appetizer plate (various salami), spaghetti with sea urchin, a pasta with green beans, and, for dessert, cheese mousse with chocolate. We also had Limoncello and espresso. Everything was delicious! Our favorite, by far, was the spaghetti with sea urchin. It was so light and fresh, with only a subtle (not overbearing) flavor of seafood. It was perfect! The cheese mousse was excellent! It was not overly sweet. The chocolate was a perfect pairing. read more

One of the best restaurants in Montespertoli! I came here with some friends and we ordered a bottle of the house wine, water, first course, and dessert for €20pp. They also brought a round of complimentary foccacia and a plentiful bread basket. The first course pastas were all very beautifully presented and typical Tuscan cuisine. For dessert, I had the cheese mousse, which tasted like panna cotta with peanut butter and jelly - amazing! Service was excellent (they speak English too) and they gave us plenty of time to linger and enjoy our meal, Italian style! read more

L'artevino - Montespertoli, PO

The food was amazing fresh and upscale the place was clean and the staff great! I my only complaint is that I could not eat there two nights in a row as we had to leave the area and return to Rome. Everyone enjoyed their meal and raved about it. Don't miss out this is a gem! read more

Starting with bread. Fresh out of the oven poppy seeded and sunflower seeded small bread nuggets. Appetizer was a wonderful. Grilled vegetables wrapped around buffalo mozzarella cheese was savory and fresh. Pear cheese and poppy seed ravioli was flavorful and differently delicious. Seafood pasta special had 7 fresh seafood varieties was well prepared. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the seafood soaked in the seafood. The wine selection was local and a great value and high quality. Chef owned establishment with great environment and little extras to make the experience extraordinary! read more
