I had to try this place as it was described to me as 'The heaven of wine bars'…read more This place lived up to its name! Best way to describe this place is a 'Dave and Busters' approach. You get a prepaid card, anything from 5 euros up to 50 (may go higher, but I didn't ask), or you can leave your credit card with the staff upfront and pay at the end. They have several wine 'vending machines' that you stick the card into and get to try out the wine in various amounts. You can have a sample, half glass, or full glass. The screens will tell you how much each sample will cost. Each 'Vending Machine' is sorted into categories like bubbles, whites, reds, dessert wine, etc. It's a great way to try different wines in various regions! If you like the wine you try, you can buy the bottle to take home.They have big leather couches and chairs to hang out, sip, and relax. Ever try a $100+ bottle of wine? Now is your chance :)

Very delicious food! Great value for Tuscany!…read more My recommendation: Insalata di Farro al Profumo di Pesto (Tuscan Spelt with pesto seasoning, salad and cheese). Sehr leckeres, preiswertes Essen in einer gemütlichen Atmosphäre! Die Bottega hat einen schönen, zweigeteilten Außenbereich: einmal direkt vor dem Lokal und einen sehr schönen Bereich etwas vom Lokal entfernt, die Straße hinunter. Tipp: Den leckeren Insalata di Farro bestellen, ein Salat mit einer Getreideart, die mit grünem Pesto angemacht ist.

Sadly, after we were seated, we learned that they did not have the one dish that most of us wanted -- Zuppa Toscana Riboltita (Tuscan soup made with cabbage, beans and crusty bread). For my lunch, I enjoyed Cinghiale in Umido (wild boar stew) and Verdure al Forno (baked mixed vegetables). The house red wine was fine. The restaurant itself was small but charming. Service was good.

The food surprised us for the little spot. The bruschetta was the best we had in Tuscany, loaded with flavor from the olive oil and tomato. The charcuterie and cheese board was top notch as well.

Amazing service and dedicated staff! The Chef/manager Francesco/and our waiter Flavio were so great…read morewe decided to come back twice in the same day. This restaurant is located across from and works directly with Le Volte Enoteca Prodotti Divini (wine store). The ambience and neighborhood view is so charming and welcoming. The food we ordered was absolutely fantastic! I started out with the Bruschetta Al Pomodoro Fresco e Basílico ( Datterini tomatoes, basil, olive oil bruschetta). If I could ship these tomatoes to the US everyday I would be the happiest person in the world. We came back later and also tried the Crostone del Cantuccio ( Truffle sauce, Tuscan sausage, pecorino cheese) which was delightful and I highly recommend it as well. For our mains I had the Pappardelle Fresche Al Ragù Toscano which I have to say- is the best pasta dish I've had this whole week in Italy. NO Italian restaurant serving ragù/pappardelle in the US even comes close to the texture, flavor, and quality of this plate. I also had some of the Ossobuco Alla Chiantigiana (Chianti style braised veal) and you could feel and taste every precious hour it took to make it, and the sauce, in every bite. For dessert I tried the pannacotta which was delicious! I also tried the cheesecake which if you're coming from the US it is a VERY different texture, much more creamy, and delicious as well! If you are in the area they are open everyday all day except Wednesday! We are most likely coming back one more time this week the staff, aesthetic, and especially the food makes the restaurant a MUST DO!
