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.

Honestly this would be a 3.5, but rounded up to a 4 since the staff was nothing, but attentive and…read morekind. We came across this place after doing a wine tour in Tuscany. We were in a fairly touristy area, so we weren't expecting a ton. We got the Margherita pizza with onion. This was a 3.5/5. We've had much better pizza in Italy (and Florence, specifically). The base of the pizza was a bit burnt and the dough wasn't as soft as other places -- it had a more rough / chewy feeling. The gnocchi with tomato sauce was a 3.5/4 as well. The gnocchi was soft, but the sauce lacked any flavor to it. Tasted a bit just like tomato sauce out of a jar. The winner of dinner was the ravioli with butter and sage. It was a solid 4.5/5. If this is all we got, we would've been happier with our experience. Anyways, can't expect much more in a touristy area! Just don't have the highest expectations! Still a solid place -- just more hole in the walls to be found that can truly blow you away.

It was a mistake They had several items on the menu that we want to order (squid ink pasta, etc) and we asked.

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.

From the waiting-staff's (singular!) pristine whites (including a flat cloth, beanie-style cap) to the rustic-feel, wooden-decked room, you know this is the real deal, as soon as you enter the premises. Dishes change daily and there is a limited choice on offer. The first time I visited, on a late-ish Saturday lunchtime, I was ravenous and decided to stay even though there were no fish or vegetable-based dishes that I had been hoping for. Instead I had a well-roasted chicken portion and salad. The chicken was way over-salted for my taste but the salad, service and atmosphere were unbeatable. The uniquely typical factor here is that next door is a take-out section (with a separate entrance) offering the same dishes available in the restaurant. I returned here on a Friday and had some mouthwateringly delicious cooked fish-of-the-day (a selection of several varieties and sizes) that surpassed all expectations. Very reasonably priced and busy.
