Esperienza più che positiva, ottimo cibo, antipasti toscani da favola, porzioni abbondanti, cordialità e cortesia del personale, ambiente non chic, ma familiare, come piace a noi. Prezzo adeguato al servizio e alla qualità. Siamo arrivati in camper e abbiamo pernottato nell’area sosta comunale che è gratuita. Ci siamo annotati il posto e la località, sicuramente ripasseremo apposta per tornare a mangiare qua. Pienamente soddisfatti.

Without a doubt an awesome awesome stop! Outside area with a view, great food, great house wine, great staff. We stopped here randomly for lunch, on our way to San Marino and so glad we did! We ordered the truffle tagliatelle and wild boar agnolotti then desserts. Would highly recommend stopping here and drawing a conclusion for yourselves - we will definitely come back. Thank you very much xx
