Of course 5 yelp stars but no, I'll go with 4.... And a Michelin star. So ok, there is much to…read moreunpack here. We came, 5 people to CDF with high expectations. We were not disappointed - mostly. So personally, I have some 'odd' standards. The wine paring was different. They pared, light to heavy, white to red. But it was all from the same vintner. So someone had a 'deal', it wasn't based on the subtleties of each varietal, it was what they had. This was hardly the choice of a sommelier, more an arrangement. That being said, the wine wasn't bad, just too...flat in its variety. On to the food. We all ordered the 7 course tasting menu with wine paring (see snarky comments above). 1) foie gras, almond and cherry - happiness and complexity. I don't agree with the paring, a sparkling white was lost to the bravado of the appetizer 2) amberjac ceviche with guacamole and puffed rice - unique juxtaposition of temperatures and flavor profiles 3) rabbit saccotinni, radish, parmesan and rosemary 4) sweet peppers spaghetti, lavender ricotta cheese, dry gia 5) turbot fillet in crust, chick peas, muscles and herbs 6) cinta Senese pork, fennel purée, bbq lettuce and licorice sauce 7) milk - like ice creamy stuff with fancy stuff Coffee - well, they gave us a menu and came back for our order 35 minutes later, after we flagged the waiter down....I was done...done Decor - incredible. On the veranda with amazing, historic views of the local castle. Staff - efficient and well versed on the material but with an overtone of displeasure at our prescience. Still, their efficiency was worthy of the 1 Michelin star. Overall, because it's a Michelins rated restaurant, I am being picky, very picky. 5 people, almost 900 euros.... Bottom line: I wouldn't go again unless invited or for a wedding.

What a treat! This Michelin starred restaurant is hidden along a dirt road between the village of…read morePalazzone and San Casciano dei Bagni in Southern Tuscany. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking, situated on a hill, in a luxury complex of the castle. The restaurant features an outdoor patio and an indoor, formal space. I'd have preferred sitting outside, but it was a very chilly night in April, in the off-season. The restaurant used to be a private club, but recently became open to public. The service was attentive and top notch. You have the option of ordering a 7-course tasting menu or go rogue, and order á la carte. I opted for a 4-course menu, because I was specifically looking to try the snails, fish courses and sweetbreads. The welcome dish was beautifully presented and consisted of various proteins in different animal forms nestled on moss in minimalist dishes. The breads followed with an array of salts collected from different corners of the world, along with butter and a delicious olive oil. The amuse bouche was my least favorite, constructed of duck and sesame crisp. As I visited in spring, I noticed a seasonal use of green ingredients - peas, mint, asparagus, nettle, parsley that was repeated throughout the night. I loved the snail appetizer and the char with asparagus and quinoa. The risotto with sweetbreads and the sea bass dish were a beautiful and rich ending to the dinner. I loved the presentation of every dish. I was too full to order a dessert but the staff surprised me with a fun mignardise course. What an imaginative and delicious experience!
