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.

Authentic Tuscan Dining Experience…read more We stumbled into this restaurant looking for a place to eat on a Sunday night, when we didn't know that everything outside Pisa seemed to be closed. The owner let us wait inside for fifteen minutes until he officially open the restaurant. He only spoke Italian and we didn't speak Italian. He and his wife were very welcoming and patient with us. The wine didn't have labels and he had the menu written down in a notebook. Between our Spanish, English, and his Italian we were able to order and we had the best dining experience of our whole trip. Everything we tried was delicious! I recommend the bruschettas, the linguine with mushrooms, and the tiramisu.

What a wonderful experience. Visiting dear friends originally from NY that have a home in Tuscany,…read morewe came for a relaxing dinner at La Cantina. The staff was extremely welcoming and the food was fresh and delicious. There is both an inside dining room and a large outdoor garden setting. The evening we came there was a warm breeze and it was delightful to sit outside. We were quickly seated and our order was taken within minutes. We started with typical Tuscan appetizers. One was tastier than the next. My girlfriend and I shared a large sandwich made with a huge flat bread. It was stuffed with meat, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. It was extremely large and definitely enough to share. It was not a heavy sandwich and it was really tasty. Her husband had a margarita pizza with meat. Dad had a sliced steak with Parmesan cheese, arugula and French fries. For dessert we tasted the home made cheese cake that was the owner's Mom's recipe. It was much lighter and more delicate than a NY cheese cake. It was less sweet and to me tasted almost like a cross between cheese cake and a Napoleon. It was awesome! Definitely try it! If you ever find yourself in this part of the Tuscan hills of Italy, do yourself a favor and visit this place. You won't be disappointed.
