What a wonderful experience. Visiting dear friends originally from NY that have a home in Tuscany,…read morewe came for a relaxing dinner at La Cantina. The staff was extremely welcoming and the food was fresh and delicious. There is both an inside dining room and a large outdoor garden setting. The evening we came there was a warm breeze and it was delightful to sit outside. We were quickly seated and our order was taken within minutes. We started with typical Tuscan appetizers. One was tastier than the next. My girlfriend and I shared a large sandwich made with a huge flat bread. It was stuffed with meat, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. It was extremely large and definitely enough to share. It was not a heavy sandwich and it was really tasty. Her husband had a margarita pizza with meat. Dad had a sliced steak with Parmesan cheese, arugula and French fries. For dessert we tasted the home made cheese cake that was the owner's Mom's recipe. It was much lighter and more delicate than a NY cheese cake. It was less sweet and to me tasted almost like a cross between cheese cake and a Napoleon. It was awesome! Definitely try it! If you ever find yourself in this part of the Tuscan hills of Italy, do yourself a favor and visit this place. You won't be disappointed.
