"Really nice and authentic place. Everything we took was very good. There is a huge fireplace in the middle that adds up to the atmosphere. I’d definitely not recommend it for vegetarians tho."

"Ottima cena, qualità delle materie prime eccellente. Gentilezza delle cameriere da segnalare. Ambiente carino e soprattutto molto fresco in estate. I piatti sono eccellenti, viene la voglia di tornarci per provare anche quello che non siamo riusciti ad assaggiare. Cinghiale sublime sia nel primo (tagliatelle) che come secondi (soprattutto cinghiale alla brace). Chiusura con dolci buonissimi. Spesa giusta sui 50euro."

"Immerso nella quiete della campagna questo ristorante è stata una scoperta sorprendente. Abbiamo iniziato con un tagliere di salumi e crostini, poi tagliatelle ai funghi. A seguire, lo spiedo misto con carne di maiale, cinghiale e salsiccia: un tripudio di gusto. Un posto che invita a rallentare, godersi il panorama e, soprattutto, mangiare bene. Vale assolutamente una sosta!"

"Locale caratteristico sembra di mangiare a casa. Molto bello il grande camino acceso in mezzo alla sala. Il menù è completo e prevede solo piatti di carne. Abbiamo assaggiato diverse pietanze e le abbiamo trovate buone e di giuste quantità. Da sottolineare il servizio cordiale, disponibile e veloce. Molto gentili a venire incontro alle esigenze di una persona celiaca fornendo pasta e pane senza glutine. Onesto il conto."

"Excellent place for a great, authentic meal. The crostini toscani are delicious and the grilled pecorino cheese is a must. Also, save some room for dessert because their home-made caramelized figs are amazing. Can’t wait to go back. A must!"
