We walked by the restaurant after an afternoon of sightseeing. The chef greeted us when we peeked…read moreinside to look at the open kitchen. He took our reservation for the late evening and was friendly and inviting. The dinner was wonderful. The name means "divine angle" - an allusion to the tucked away location at an angle off of the main street. It is also a pun on divine "da vino" suggestive of the well selected wines on the wine list and the nice atmosphere for drinking wine with dinner companions. When we returned for dinner, two of us selected a tasting menu based on fish while the other two ordered a la carte. The amuse-bouche was a fresh oyster and a second amuse-bouche appeared with a thin piece of bread with sardine. We enjoyed both. Even those who dislike sardines raved about the wonderful bread and simple salty and sea taste. We all enjoyed our meals from the terraced table. But we really enjoyed the atmosphere and watching the chef work his magic through the open front door and kitchen. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting a casual, but fine dining experience with a wonderful, secluded atmosphere. Great service as well.

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

We took the time for a traditional, multi-course Italian lunch. The seafood pasta was exquisite, followed by grilled fish, and grilled calamari. Fresh, plentiful, impeccably prepared. Tiramisu was more like a pudding than a cake, but had some of the best flavor we've come across in the Med. Bypass those touristy places on the piazza, and slip around the corner to this place. Oh-so-good.

This place came recommended by a local guide, but unfortunately the only truly standout item about…read moreLa Terrazza is the stunning view. Upon the recommendation of our waiter I went their pre-fixe four course menu. It seemed like a great value for the items. I should have known that you get what you pay for. We started with a meat plate that contained four different varieties of cured meats from the region. This was tasty and probably my favorite dish of the four courses. Next we had a pasta dish that our waiter said was typical of San Marino. I'm not sure what it was but it was almost like a green ravioli topped with tomatoes that were too fresh. This dish was ok but I didn't end up finishing it. For our main course we had flank steak with potatoes and a small salad. The steak was extremely overcooked (I ordered it medium) giving it a burnt taste and making it very tough to chew. I would have brought this to the attention of my waiter but he vanished after delivering this dish and by the time he returned I needed to leave to make an appointment. The only good thing about that dish were the roasted rosemary potatoes. The fourth course was a small cup of gelato which again, the gelato was just ok. It didn't really have much flavor but I think perhaps it was supposed to be some type of cream flavor. All in all this wasn't my favorite dining experience in any way BUT I was treated to an amazing view during the duration of the meal.

I recommend parking on the opposite side of the hill and climbing up and over, through the ancient walls and past the church...don't worry there are tons of escalators...however you will have a steep walk up and down once you get on the side with the restaurant but this is still the ideal parking....now the food: this is top notch Tuscan cooking. I had the pici with the boar sauce, my daughter had the ravioli, and my wife had the pappardelle with mushroom sauce. All were amazing. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And the wine is delicious

Looking for a late meal near the hotel, this place looked too prominently situated to actually be…read moregood. But (try this technique) by walking between tables seeing what people were eating, the pizza looked solid. Nice balance of ingredients to crust, alluring. Little was I to know, what a fantastic pizza this would be. The best pizza of my life (well, next to Da Michele's double buffalo mozz in Naples). I don't know if I got lucky, and all the pizza stars aligned when they threw this one together (the table next to me had multiple pizzas come around the same time, but none looked this great), but this scamorza cheese (a lot like mozzarella, but lightly smoked), eggplant, black olive and sublime sausage pizza was one of the most superb creations I've ever eaten. It puts most every other "dish" I've ever had on the back burner, because with most dishes, each bite tastes the same as the last, but with this pizza, every bite was different than the last, and each phenomenally delicious - - just spurring you on until you've enhaled the whole thing, and were supremely glad you did. Went pizza shopping tonight, from place to place (walk through restaurants, and see what they are serving, and what people are eating - - a real education), and finally settled on a very popular place where the pizzas looked OK (if not maybe a bit overly wide) and it was decent - - but it made me pine for the pizza from le Delizie. I mean, at le Delizie the topography was lovely - - no square inch of the 'za was like any other - - each bite had a different concentration of ingredients and a different texture. And even the edges around the crust were to die for, with wonderful light stretch and crunch, and still succulently moist, with a ravenously delicious red sauce (look how it glistens near the crust in the picture I'll attach). This pizza was absolute, total, perfection. Every bite of this pizza was luscious. It cost 7 Euro (plus 2 Euro coperto); the 1/2 liter of sparkling wine from a spigot was cheap, zingy, and refreshing. And after the meal there is a complementary carafe of limoncello, and the service was adept. I mean, for chrissakes, every "Italian" place in the States is nowhere in the same ballpark as a place like this. I'll keep pounding the pavement looking for something in Rimini even close to this standard [wait, no, I'm going back tomorrow - - I've learned my lesson.] .
