    what the cameras record in the restaurant is viewed on a screen in the Lobby. Strange!!!
    Mike H.

    We were trapped by the nice view from the Balkony and walked in. We were guided to a table. So far so good. There were in total 5 waitresses walking around, but it took more than 10 minutes and my waving hands that they took notice of us and brought the dinner card. The treatment was all over our stay undercooled. We had 2 Pizza Marghertias and 2 Lasagne al Forno. The Pizza looked and tasted like low budget frozen Pizzas from the discounter, maybe even worse. The Lasagane was served on plates you would not use in a Catina. Taste was also dull. Servants did not ask if everything is fine nor if we want to order more drinks...which we surely would have denied. Toilettes were ugly (ok, in Itally almost all toiletts are ;-). We recognized that a group of dutch Tourists came in and wanted to sit at a free table which was not reserved. The waitresses refused it. They asked why and didn't received a reasonable answer from them. Their english was quite bad too. But my Italian is not that worse to understand that one of them wistleld to the other, what a bloody cow this Lady is. Unbelievable!!! The Dutchs were annoyed and left the location. They will never know what lucky guys the are. We decided to follow them asap and asked for check. Finally we paid 62,50 Euro for this ridiculous performance. Not 1 Cent tip they got!! What we also found very strange were 2 cameras in this room which recorded the people. You could see it outside in the Lobby on a screen. See the picture we added. Is that legal?? However, this was one of the worst restraunts we've ever been. Never again! Don't go there!

    Stopped by for some wine and grappa after a long way around san gimignano. Most restaurants here dont let you sit unless you eat. This is one of the rare places that has some space in front for people who just want a drink. Ordered some great chianti and strong grappa. The grappa was very strong but warmed us up inside. Did not eat but service was good and drinks as well.

    You MUST eat here! Our only sorrow is we found it late in our stay and only ate there two nights…read more Don't worry about parking, you can double stack in the three places next to it. They will move the cars for you. OK the food: Most is sourced locally, the beef is dry aged 30 days, and is so tender. The filet is not mignon, but a sirloin filet and super flavorful. The sausages with white beans is outstanding. The house wine is local, and really all you need is, although they have a great selection. They will explain every item on the menu In detail if you wish. The Caprese salad has specially sourced Buffalo mozzarella, ask the waiter about it. Very very good! Again, it will be your loss if you don't go here at least once.

The service was crisp, interesting, and engaging. Our first experience was two take-away pizzas for $20. They were delicious, so we went back for a sit down. We elected to eat in the cozy upstairs dining room, but we offered outside seating. The large screen TV was playing a concert from the national orchestra. Our guy was very interested in the concert and explained some of the components. It was very interesting. The two mains were delicious! We had a half liter of house white and a half liter of rosso. Both were locally sourced and spot on. $52 got us out the door! The prices in all of Tuscany for food is so much lower than the states. Expect to pay half in a restaurant and 1/3 less in grocery stores.

    This is one of the authentic restaurants that serves good and delicious Italian food…read more We came in a big group and everyone enjoyed themselves. We started with a bottle of wine supper soft and delicious. Then my mom wanted to try a Zuppa and she got the Porcini one. She ate it all. I ordered a Marguerite pizza. I loved it. The crust was so soft and crunchy at the same time. It really tasted the best pizza for me. My friend ordered but I can't remember the name of their dishes. But they love the food as well. The service was great. They were very attentive and helpful. I really enjoyed everything. If I was to go back I would go back there.

    Must try! This is Tuscan food!…read more Very careful service and great beverage choices. We were the first for lunch. We were in San G for the day and went by all the cafe joints etc and saw this down a small street from the busy square. It wasn't open till noon but I asked my wife to wait 15 minutes. Well I created a buzz of some older tourist couples and they couldn't wait to try to by the time it opened. We went to the loft dining above and one server for his best to get lunch service underway. It wasn't quick but oh well. We all waited and savored and in the end it was Tuscan porcini soup from heaven, a roasted beef entree that was great! My porchetta dish was good but overheated and dried out. I saw how they did it when we left and if I knew better I would ask for a slice not cooked again. So much rosemary flavor! The most impressive part was our Tuscan tureen sampler with sauces and really good breads. The bomb. This was a splurge lunch but so worth it! They also had the care to bring my bottle of beer(wife drink wine I don't) with a frozen plastic cell bag to keep the bottle cold while I drink from the glass. Very impressive but simple service. Salads and desserts from other tables looked awesome and some older fellow next to us must be on Lipitor given the huge meat and cheese plate he ate as his meal! Kind of jealous but that was a better share dish for the table compared to the well crafted dishes we chose. But please folks don't dry out a wonderful porchetta slice!!!

    We stopped for lunch while in visiting this beautiful Tuscany town. Unfortunately everything was…read morejust meh. The pasta that my son got was just so so in comparison to what others serve. The service was typical Italian service. No rushing, do not interrupt you, everything I came to expect while in Italy.

    Another restaurant I tried during a tour in Italy…read more I was really surprised at how many times we were able to find lunch plans at the last minute when we were here and this day we lucked out again. In a beautiful alley you'll find Il Feudo. Service and ambience was on point today. Even though it was easily evident down our whole party was from over sees the peeps who waited on us were very kind and patient. I ended up ordering something more on the simple side. The Tagliatelle al cinghiale drew me to it because of the meat. They use specific type of boar in the area to pair with the pasta. I think the idea is that you keep the overall dish simple so you can focus on the flavors of meat however for me it was just ok. Even though I knew what to expect, there was still something in the back of my mind that felt the dish was lacking something. The dish definitely had flavor so it wasn't an issue of salt or anything like that. But for some reason I was expecting to be more blown away by the dish. I definitely would come back but I think if I did I would just probably try a different pasta. Other than that I had a good experience.

    Authentic Tuscan pastas - try the specials!…read more We wondered what the dinner scene would be like in San Gimignano, since relatively few tourists actually stay overnight in the town (most are day-trippers coming in via waves of tour buses) We wandered down a back street away from the shops, and saw a lighted outdoor dining space. So we sat down without any info about the restaurant. We started with the Tuscan rustic bread soup, Ribolitta. The seasoning was sophisticated and layered. Very satisfying. The pasta special of the day was Penne alla Norcina, featuring bits of local sausage, porcini mushrooms and a generous amount of truffle shavings on top. The dish was rich and satisfying - heartier than the truffle pasta we had in Florence (that one had no meat). Our second pasta was from the regular menu, Pici alla Sinese. Thick round noodles in a sauce of tomato pesto and porcini. Flavors were carefully blended and it really had more character and umami than the tomato based sauces we get in Italian restaurants back in the USA. All three dishes made us want to take a cooking class while we are in Tuscany :-)
