The atmosphere was great as well as you could look right on to the main square where they had a concert and the local shops stayed open late. So much fun. The food was good and pizza and pasta was worth coming back for. We also enjoyed the appetizers of pizza balls with cheese!

Hello, I am hereby including a review of Il Pizzaiuolo as I see there are few to no recent reviews…read moreof the venue. Is it possible that Yelp has gone extinct in the Italian Republic? This is certainly something for us to ponder. I have visited Il Pizzaiuolo several times and have always been seated promptly, although it does get busy. As one may deduce from the restaurant's name, they have pizza. The pizza is very good. I am not Italian, so I have not proceeded in the procession of: pasta, main, pizza, salad, dessert. This is too much for me generally, unless I fast beforehand. I have, on separate occasions, tried pizzas here, as well as several appetizers and main courses. I would recommend the fried burrata, which is simply a breaded and deep-fried burrata. It will appeal to anyone with a palette who likes cheese. The pizzas are also very tasty, although the one I ate most recently had many pieces of a lesser breed of sausage that resembled what the Americans call "hot dogs" or the Russians call "doctor's sausage." Simply a deeply and thoroughly processed meat conglomerate. I was not particularly fond of this on pizza, particularly when many superior processed meats are available. The venue here is simple without frills, as one would expect of an osteria. The prices are reasonable for the location.

Wonderful! We had a wonderful first dinner in Firenze at…read morethis terrific restaurant, and we liked it so much that we came back here again with our friends when they arrived a couple of days later. The food is excellent - we loved the burrata, pizza, salad and pasta. The prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly and efficient. We weren't too excited by the wine though - the EUR25 wine tasted like average house wine.

So we had a day to just drive around Tuscany and we found ourselves in Greve in Chianti looking for…read moresome lunch. After looking at reviews we settled on La Cantina and we were not let down. It's a very nice place offering both indoor and shaded, outdoor seating overlooking a nearby square. We asked to be seated outside, ordered some Aperol spritzes and began to check out the menu. Our server was friendly and efficient. She took our drink orders and dropped off a breadstick-like appetizer of baked, thin, crispy, yummy pizza or pasta dough scraps and we started to check out the menu. We could not narrow down our appetizer selection so we ordered three. A delicious assortment of goodies soon hit the table. We had some parma and melon, bruschetta, and fried pasta cuddles with stracchino cheese and raw ham. That last one I had never had before and boy was it good! In fact, they were all excellent. For mains we had pizza, paccheri with bacon and ricotta, and potato gnocchi with fresh tomato and basil. They were all very delicious. The paccheri with bacon and ricotta was another new dish for me. It was sort of like Pasta alla Gricia except with ricotta instead of pecorino. It was different, not better or worse, just different. And yes, I would order it again. The owner stopped by the table to say hi and check in to make sure things were going well. That's always a nice touch. All in all, an excellent experience and one I would recommend.

While visiting wineries in Tuscany we made plans to stop in here for lunch. We chose La Contina…read moredue to all the great reviews we read and it surely did not disappoint! We got there right about the start of lunchtime for the day and we were seated quickly, but it soon got very busy. Their menu is loaded with many pasta, pizzas, and other amazing Italian food. They also offer a nice sampling deal for couples, described in the menu. We were served their table bread and glasses of wine when we were greeted soon after sitting down. The bread is this amazing cracker-like bread which is covered in EVOO and herbs and then baked off in their amazing pizza oven. This stuff tasted great! And the free wine was a very nice, impressive treat too! We tried a couple things, including their meat and cheese board called the "Cellar Platter" and one of their pizzas, called the John. The food was all spectacular! The fried bread that came with the Cellar Platter was crazy-good! Everything was amazing... Would highly recommend stopping in!!

The best pizza in Tuscany…read more I came here on a summer night and it felt like a foreign film; Italian families dining amongst the rolling hills of Tuscany, toasting one another with wine and generally enjoying life in a way that's somehow so effortless in Italy when the weather is warm. My Florentine companions tried to keep the constituent ingredients of the lardo pizza from me, thinking that I might be turned off by cured strips of fatback. (Boy, were they wrong!) When I squeezed the secret out of them I was even more excited to eat this pizza (which you should not miss). One of the most magical nights I've spent in Italy was dinner at Palazzo Pretorio. Absolutely worth the short trip from the center of Florence!

The menu is by and large neopolitan, which is fine by me because I happen to love the food of the South and it's a welcome change from the local fare. This is the best - I repeat: The Best Pizza in the entire area, bar none. If pizza is your thing, this is your place when you are in Chianti! My only criticism here is the service. While Giovanni, the pizziaiuolo, is an artist and all 'round great guy, the waitresses are slow and about as disineterested as can be. Try and get one of them to even pretend she cares! If the owners could clamp down on them, they'd have a perfect spot here (and 5 stars from me!)
