The Owner was very pleasant and gave us some needed advice on our trip to Florence the next day. They were featuring local crease porcini mushrooms. I had the Porcini Mushroom Risotto as the first course and the Veal Lombetini for the second. Both were excellent! My partner had the Porcini Tagliatelle and the Amberjack. They were perfect. Stop by here if you are in town. Allen

We walked here from our hotel -- about a 10-minute walk -- and we arrived to find the place packed with reservations in waiting. They still managed to get us in! That's customer service! Fabio took care of us, along with another young lady whose name I did not catch. They were spectacular. I'm a Texas guy, and we eat beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was impressed with the Steak Florentine here. It was tender and was mildly flavored with herbs and butter. The roasted potatoes were OK. The cannellini beans in tomato sauce almost stole the show. What a wonderful combination of meaty white beans and sweet tomato sauce! And the tiramisu was divine. This place was packed on our visit, and it is no surprise, because they are very good at what they do. Still, it was comfy, and we were well taken care of.

The owner was a charming man who invited us back for dinner, which we accepted, much to our enjoyment. The food was spectacular. The owner is a talented chef who obviously loves his work. The cafe offered a buffet for a very reasonable price that included sushi, which my daughter fell in love with. I had a steak dish that melted in my mouth. My husband had pasta in a spicy red sauce. It was so good we promised to come back the next day for dinner also. We did and were not disappointed. Once again the food was delicious and tender and the owner was very charming and greeted us with great hospitality. Definitely the best place we went to eat in Montecatini.

The wild boar pasta I ordered was way too salty (which I mentioned to one waiter and she said that it was supposed to be that way, but it was like eating straight up salt, so I don't know about that one); the fish and seafood my parents ordered were not the freshest and not flavorful at all. When another waiter came by, I mentioned this to him and he apologized (said we should have said something earlier...but they were running around and we felt out of place being tourists) and gave us free sorbets. Note: We were also billed two euro each for our napkins... I'm not sure if that's customary since I've never seen that before, but I wish it was mentioned somehow to us. Two stars for the soups and the overall accommodating servers. Otherwise I do not recommend.

My wife called to reserve a spot outside and upon arrival we were asked for the green pass. We showed our CDC vaccination cards and were told those are not valid. I pointed out that official info on the US embassy in Italy with reference to The Italian Ministry of Health's website state that CDC vaccination cards "white cards" are an equivalent to the Green pass. The host refused to listen and said he has clear instructions not to let anyone in without a scan. We asked to speak to the manager, because it's difficult to get a last minute reservation wherever and we have a hungry 2 year old baby on our hands! We were told to wait a few minutes as somebody would be right with us, but nobody was coming. Feeling that something is not right my wife called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, but was told that the manager is not on sight. The host was obviously lying and hoping that we would just leave (make the problem go away). We confronted him, to which he responded very rudely that they are calling someone. We got into a discussion and finally the "manager" (or maybe not?) came out. The lady said she can't let us in, because they are facing big fines for violation. At that point I had only a few questions left: why couldn't she just come out and talk to us like a normal person without the whole theater of hiding and escalating the situation? Why make us wait with a hungry baby for such a long time hoping we would just leave? Why don't restaurants in high tourist areas get informed about the laws? Is this how Michelin-recommended restaurants work?
