This being my wife's favorite, decided to make a special trip to San Gimignano just to try them out! We made reservations and I am glad we did because by 8pm, every table was full. The place is very small and dark, but they add a small LED light at each table giving just the right amount of light to read the menu. We reviewed the menu only to find that they no longer have gnocchi. She was disappointed at first, but absolutely loved her entree. We weren't vey hungry so no starters tonight, but they brought bread and some sort of potato fritter that had bits of octopus in it. I loved it, my wife stopped eating it when she found out about the octopus! She was fine before I told her. We order a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and I went for the wild boar ragu while the wife tried I Fagottini Del Contadino, pasta stuffed with pears & pecorino cheese in a saffron and pecorino sauce. Spectacular! The pear had a little sweet and the pecorino a little salt and the sauce was velvety smooth and delicious! My ragu was very hearty with lots of pork. Simply delicious. They had crème brûlée, which is my wife favorite. We still had a little wine left, so she ordered that and I got the double chocolate cake with orange marmalade. We both enjoyed our deserts very much. While they didn't have gnocchi, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

We started with a bottle of wine supper soft and delicious. Then my mom wanted to try a Zuppa and she got the Porcini one. She ate it all. I ordered a Marguerite pizza. I loved it. The crust was so soft and crunchy at the same time. It really tasted the best pizza for me. My friend ordered but I can't remember the name of their dishes. But they love the food as well. The service was great. They were very attentive and helpful. I really enjoyed everything. If I was to go back I would go back there.

Must try! This is Tuscan food!…read more Very careful service and great beverage choices. We were the first for lunch. We were in San G for the day and went by all the cafe joints etc and saw this down a small street from the busy square. It wasn't open till noon but I asked my wife to wait 15 minutes. Well I created a buzz of some older tourist couples and they couldn't wait to try to by the time it opened. We went to the loft dining above and one server for his best to get lunch service underway. It wasn't quick but oh well. We all waited and savored and in the end it was Tuscan porcini soup from heaven, a roasted beef entree that was great! My porchetta dish was good but overheated and dried out. I saw how they did it when we left and if I knew better I would ask for a slice not cooked again. So much rosemary flavor! The most impressive part was our Tuscan tureen sampler with sauces and really good breads. The bomb. This was a splurge lunch but so worth it! They also had the care to bring my bottle of beer(wife drink wine I don't) with a frozen plastic cell bag to keep the bottle cold while I drink from the glass. Very impressive but simple service. Salads and desserts from other tables looked awesome and some older fellow next to us must be on Lipitor given the huge meat and cheese plate he ate as his meal! Kind of jealous but that was a better share dish for the table compared to the well crafted dishes we chose. But please folks don't dry out a wonderful porchetta slice!!!

The agriturismo called here and asked if they could seat two people to which they responded they were completely booked, so we decided to walk in and see if we could get a table and when we arrived they told us a 25 minute wait which we we're fine with. We ordered the minestrone soup, a salad, a side of the white tuscan beans in olive oil, and the spinach with butter. We also got a 1.2 kilogram Bistecca alla Florentina. I had this steak two separate times in Italy before trying it here and it was good, but here it was just too chewy. I know they cook these rare but the texture of the meat was just a no go. The minestrone soup actually tasted exactly like a can of Progresso soup -- nothing special, but the texture of the ingredients was good and the veggies looked fresh. The spinach and beans were good, but I actually wish I ordered pasta instead of the steak because watching them bring pasta over to the other tables, I could tell it looked good. It's hit or miss with the steak sometimes and I guess I just got unlucky this night.

We debated whether to do the 5 course tasting menu for two at lunch time since it was rather warm and we did not want a long lunch. But the restaurant manger convinced us otherwise since there were several appetizers we wanted to try -- we were happy we took his suggestion. For appetizers we had their signature dish the Mezzevo (chicken egg), followed by Scallops, then Spaghetti Mancini (which came out with a glass covering smoke that smelled the aroma of coffee) and for the main course the Sea bass with pistachos. Every plate was creative, beautiful and delicious. One of the owners, as well as the manager were both attentive and helpful in their descriptions of the various plates. Everything was perfect.
