We have been trying nearly all the restaurants near our apartment rental as an injury limits my…read moreability to go much farther afield without pain. Xx, open only 2 days, seemed like a risk, and we had low expectations. These proved ill-founded. A calabrese pizza was spicey and flavorful, with a crisp thin crust, the we have had in and around Santa Croce square. A salad that combined greens with cheese and pear dressed with yogurt and olive oil was stand-up fresh. For desert I had tiramisu. It was served in a bowl like a pudding with flakes of chocolate and crust. It was not overly sweet, and quite delicious. Service was attentive with a youthful, warm staff. The space is quite large and comfortable. Pricing was quite reasonable, and the total with 3 glasses of wine came to 36E. We will be back. As for the name, that seems an unfortunate choice.

We're from California and spend about six months a year living in Porta Romana. Over the years,…read moreI've eaten pizza everywhere--from Naples to some of the most celebrated pizzerias in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles--and this is my favorite place for pizza. The ingredients are top quality, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the pizza is outstanding. The crust is thin, crispy, and perfectly charred, with great texture and flavor in every bite. The toppings are fresh and well-balanced, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine through. They also have a very nice wine and beer selection that pairs perfectly with the food. I haven't tried the pasta yet, but what I've seen coming out of the kitchen looks fantastic. If you love great pizza, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

One of the only places open late at night so we tried it. Picked up two pizzas to go & ate them at…read morethe house we were staying at. The crust was cooked through and the toppings were fresh. The restaurant itself seemed pretty busy and it took less than 20 minutes to get our food. Staff was fine & all seemed clean & acceptable. Price was great at 10Euro total. There's some parking our front (metered depending on the time) or street parking up the stairs, above the place. The second time we came here was a similar situation where we were coming back late & needed food. In this case, it took over an hour to get our food, again for take away. Ultimately it was still good and the same people were there working but perhaps it was a bit busier than the last time - it just didn't feel THAT busy. If you're in this area, the food is cheap & decent and they keep late hours so you can get that fix. Just call ahead or order then go explore the town a bit (pickup gelato) and come back.

If Montecatini Alto is your fantasy image of a hip, but historical Medieval hillside town in the…read moreTuscan region, then La Torre is probably pretty close to the image you have of a delightful street-side café, where you can people watch for hours on end while enjoying some wine/beer and sharing several small plates. When you look around, it's almost easy to believe you're on a movie set or sitting down for a rest in a highly detailed theme park area. The surroundings are just that beautiful and idealistic. The food is simple, but incredibly tasty and wonderful for sharing among friends or with a significant other. Of particular note is the focaccia with thinly-sliced ham and melted cheese, and its sister-offering with salami and cheese. I could honestly eat either of those two items every day while I'm in town. This café also offers a nice selection of local wines and other small plates and shareable items that can satisfy any appetite. The service is friendly and prompt, and I always feel well taken care of by the team. This isn't necessarily the highest-end dining choice in the village, but it's certainly one of my favorites.

Food was ok (steak grissly and chewy and only two fingers thick (I guess a good cut should be 4…read morefingers thick) and had the prefix 28$ meal but the service ruined the night. I was sitting outside really enjoying my night on a two person table given I was by myself. There was another double table next to me. I was asked to move for a party of four so they could sit outside. I said no. But why even ask? There was a table of four right inside behind me where the party of four ended up sitting. Why does their preference to sit outside ruin my peaceful enjoyment when I already had started my meal and requested to be outside. Are not I a paying customer?

We noticed the Prix Fixe menu outside and the Al fresco diners seemed pleased with their meals so…read morewe went in and ordered the 300g sirloin and the 500g ribeye steak Florentine meals. They were 23€ and 28€ respectfully. Both came with a glass of wine, a first course of bruschetta, and roasted potatoes with the steak. This may have been the BEST MEAL I'VE EVER EATEN! The steak was incredibly juicy tender and so full of flavor! Everything else was wonderful as well!

Having been to Japan several times already and being familiar with the cuisine did not leave me disappointed with the food served. The place is really nice and beautiful. Just what you'd imagine a typical Tuscan countryside would look like. Its located on a rolling hillside and its really charming and quaint. It also serves as a B&B. One suggestion for Izakaya Night, I hope they'd feature soba or udon just to complete the Japanese experience.
