“ Delicious! Cute family run restaurant where we really felt like guests! Everything (including amazing bread) is cooked day of by the couple. Only reason for 4 star is we wanted only 1/2 kg of steak to share but we got 1 kg. ”
“ Small town restaurant with cozy interior. Very kind sommelier. Suggests which wines fit the dish the best. A decent amount of different dishes. Interior simple Italian interior with nice pictures hanging on the walls. Prices are similar to most Italian restaurants, dishes for two people with drinks cost about 40-45 euros for two people. Day before we came here to buy a wine bottle. The owner was fun and kind, also offered a small discount plus a bottle opener as a gift. ”
“ Its a walk up the hill from the bus stand. Ordered the Tagliatelle Ragu and Pesto Gnocchi. Both freshly made. You can taste the difference. The pasta just melts in your mouth. Restaurant in a homely setting. ”
“ To sum up; Delicious food and very good service. This place is worth visiting if you are in Fiesole or in Florence. My wife and I visited this cosy restaurant a sunday late in august. The waiter took our order and suggested very good and not expensive wine for our choice of food. Before our first course came, we were given frozen gazpacho on sticks- very good and refreshing for our palate. Our first course was a very good salad with sorbet, a superb match. Next up was risotte for me and pasta for my wife, which tasted very good. We finished our meal with a very very good fig cake with rosmary icecream. Super this one as well. I have spent three weeks eating out in Florence and Fiesole and this was our best meal ”
