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!

This charming restaurant tucked into a side alley of one of Chianti's most picturesque villages,…read moreSan Donato in Poggio, has a wonderful terrace overlooking a gorgeous view of the Tuscan hills. 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!)

Sister ordered spaghetti but did not know it came with squid ink, she didn't like it. My parents said it was good, though. (I didn't try it) I ordered risotto, which was really yummy! It came with a piece of shrimp and some sort of sauce. It was quite strong and a bit too overpowering for me, but overall, it was great! Mom ordered the sea bass- it was so so good! I wish I would have ordered it myself. It was so light and fluffy and it came with a spectacular-tasting sauce! Dad ordered the daily catch- which was another type of sea bass. It was even lighter than my mother's fish! It felt like air! It literally melted in my mouth. Delish! Service was also on point! Overall, I had a great lunch and would return again.

November 7, 2024 7:30PM…read more The Osteria was really close to the duomo and the ambiance looked so cozy from the outside. We decided to stop in for some seafood items and white wine. This is the place where I ordered my first vermentino of my life and have forever changed since. I thought I was just a sauvignon blanc girlie but I think I love vermentino more. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of the mussels we ordered but both the mussels and the spaghetti alle vongole (Spaghetti with Clams) were so tasty. Met some new friends from England while were were here that's from similar area as my partner's ancestors... The service was amazing, the restrooms were clean. Definitely a nice pitstop before moving on to sightseeing near the Duomo for the evening. Really love their seafood dishes that we tried. I thought they were very reasonably priced but maybe it's because I'm from a landlocked state. :)

The most creative dish we had was the Codfish Cappuccino, a codfish mousse topped with potato foam, served in a cappuccino cup with a croissant on the side. It was made to look like breakfast but was a savory seafood appetizer! One nice feature about the menu here was that many dishes could be ordered in a "Tapas" (half) portion, so it was easy to try and share lots of different items. The Catalan-style Calamari and Shrimp Salad was a refreshing mixture of chopped squid mixed with zucchini, carrots, fennel, tomatoes, and oranges; the Fusili with Galician-style Octopus Sauce came with al dente corkscrew pasta in a tomato-based octopus ragout made with spicy salami and topped with potato foam; and the Cacciucco was a tomato-based stew (from the Tuscan coastal city of Livorno) made with octopus, cuttlefish, mussels, and gurnard, along with dry chunks of bread that were moistened in the stew. Finally, we had the Isolana-Style Sea Bream Fillet, which was simply grilled and served over roasted vegetables including zucchini, potatoes, peppers, onions, and olives. Overall, the seafood here was fresh and tasty, fusing elements of Spanish and Italian cuisines.

Really as the waitress said - can't go wrong with the menu. Wine was also good. I felt a little underdressed as this seemed to be the place where people dress to impress and be seen. But sitting outside no one noticed anyway. Only minus was the uncanny number of mosquitoes around. They did have a zapper light but still seemed like mosquitoes had an equally enjoyable feast as we did.

Nice change of pace from traditional Italian food, which we love but having it three times a day everyday is a bit much when your used to having it once a week or so at home.

I ordered the lobster roll which is not always on the menu, it was as good as could be expected outside of New England.
