Wonderful food and wine! Loved the foie gras starter. Bistecca was perfect rare, pistachio cake was fantastic! Beautiful scenery in a charming town, great service and excellent food!

A nice restaurant up top in artimino with a good wine selection and fresh cooked pasta. The ravioli with truffles was great. Only draw back was it's a little pricey for fish and mains dont come with a side so you have to spend even more to make a meal. The food however was great and the staff very friendly

Excellent location, next to the town square. We visited twice and tried the black rice with chicken and all three variations of the sirloin beef cuts. We were happy every time with the food as well as the friendly staff. Tiramisu was a bit of a mistake, too sugary. Prices manageable, not cheap, not stupendous. Nice place.

Firstly, the service is excellent. Attentive staff who made very good wine and food recommendations. Secondly, the food is fantastic. We had the crespezzeria, which is a dish created by the chef, was light and full of flavour. The sirloin steak was hearty, a generous portion and full of flavour. Beyond expectation. The ravioli with truffles was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. Enjoyable atmosphere with a local crowd. The best restaurant in Artimino.

Very good restaurant! Nice people and great food!

In short: friendly staff, horrible food, way to expensive. We are rather disappointed in the quality of the food at this restaurant. The tartar I had was way too dark in color, too warm and tasted raunchy. It was very hot weather and they clearly didn't keep it cool enough. I was afraid I might get sick of it and didn't finish it. On the menu it was advertised as "with nuts". The nuts were clearly standard small almond(?) pieces sprinkled over it and it didn't taste like fresh nuts at all. One of my daughters tasted my "dish" and was horrified. My wife and daughters played safe and chose different types of pasta. The pasta was not well cooked. I tried the pasta my daughters were having and agreed with them. It was not even "al dente". Substandard. The food serving was spartan. There was nothing included, just a piece of raw meat on your plate with some small piece of nuts sprinkled over it and that's it? You would expect some fries, baked or sweet potatoes, or salad to go with your piece of meat... None of it. So I ordered some salad separate to go with the tartar. A basket of bread that was put on the table when we were seated was charged for 8 euros because we took some of it. Ridiculous. If you put it there and it isn't ordered by the customer, it has to be on the house. Period. That's how a good host should behave. When one of my daughters asked for sweet white wine, the waitress said there wasn't any but she recommended another white wine. She offered my daughter to taste it and I also tasted (after she said she didn't like it at all and I wondered if her judgement was right). It was not good at all, very 'chemical' taste. So we didn't take that and sticked to still water. Water wasn't on the cart so we suspected it would probably be a little overpriced and guess what: it was completely overpriced! One bottle (less than a liter) of still water was charged for 6 Euro. Whereas we paid 1.50 in another restaurant for 1 liter(!).. So for one bottle of water, 3 dishes of substandard pasta and a raunchy tartar dish, a small salad, 2 cappuccino (not really hot either), a little plate of fruit and 3 pieces of apple pie we ended up paying well over 80 euros. Totally absurd, especially since the quality of the food was way below average standards. Two days later we had a great meal at a pizzeria in Pisa where we paid only 30 euros for 4 pizza's and 4 large bottles of water, .. and it was superb! The only reason why I still give 2 stars instead of zero stars is the fact the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They clearly tried to make us feel at home, didn't mind we had difficulties with the language and were very kind and patient. I forgot my cap and one of them ran after us to hand it back. So, good and friendly service for sure but really, foodwise this was the most disappointing restaurant I've ever had dinner. Mind you: I'm not fast to complain at all. I was expecting much better though and was looking forward to this. If this is traditional Toscane speciality, it's the last time ever I tried.

We came for dinner, and enjoyed the place: great food (meat!) and dessert. Nice selection of wines.
