My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and I had the Diavola pizza with onions, mushrooms, and spicy salami. Both were excellent. The spaghetti was flavorful and cooked perfectly, while the pizza had one of the thinnest, crispiest crusts I've had in Italy--exactly the style I love. The toppings were generous and delicious. Just when we thought the meal was over, they brought us complimentary slices of chocolate cake, which were rich, moist, and the perfect ending. The food, service, and little extra touches made this a memorable experience. If you're in Greve in Chianti and looking for delicious pizza or pasta with friendly hospitality, I highly recommend Ristorante Pizzeria La Cantina. We'll definitely be back!

Because it was so convenient, we got to try it three days in a row: a fantastic 3-course dinner on day one, a delicious takeaway pizza on day two, and coffee and desserts on day three. Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was phenomenal every single time. Sometimes when you're in a touristy area, the Resturant don't really care about the customers--but that is definitely not the case here. The owner is always on the floor, making sure everyone gets personal attention. It's a wonderful family-owned business, and it truly shows because this family genuinely cares. Highly, highly recommend!

This cute small pizzeria in Radda is the definition of a humble pizza joint but don't let looks fool you, you'll eat as much as you can for good reason!

The toppings are plentiful and if you are from the states you'll be happy to know it's large like ours but tasty and thin like Italy's. I'll be back atleast 2 more times before the end of our trip. 6 stars! Luigi is a master pizza maker or his wife, I truly believe it's just 1 family running this joint and it shows.

The best pizza in Tuscany…read more I came here on a summer night and it felt like a foreign film; Italian families dining amongst the rolling hills of Tuscany, toasting one another with wine and generally enjoying life in a way that's somehow so effortless in Italy when the weather is warm. My Florentine companions tried to keep the constituent ingredients of the lardo pizza from me, thinking that I might be turned off by cured strips of fatback. (Boy, were they wrong!) When I squeezed the secret out of them I was even more excited to eat this pizza (which you should not miss). One of the most magical nights I've spent in Italy was dinner at Palazzo Pretorio. Absolutely worth the short trip from the center of Florence!

The menu is by and large neopolitan, which is fine by me because I happen to love the food of the South and it's a welcome change from the local fare. This is the best - I repeat: The Best Pizza in the entire area, bar none. If pizza is your thing, this is your place when you are in Chianti! My only criticism here is the service. While Giovanni, the pizziaiuolo, is an artist and all 'round great guy, the waitresses are slow and about as disineterested as can be. Try and get one of them to even pretend she cares! If the owners could clamp down on them, they'd have a perfect spot here (and 5 stars from me!)

They will move the cars for you. OK the food: Most is sourced locally, the beef is dry aged 30 days, and is so tender. The filet is not mignon, but a sirloin filet and super flavorful. The sausages with white beans is outstanding. The house wine is local, and really all you need is, although they have a great selection. They will explain every item on the menu In detail if you wish. The Caprese salad has specially sourced Buffalo mozzarella, ask the waiter about it. Very very good!

The service was crisp, interesting, and engaging. Our first experience was two take-away pizzas for $20. They were delicious, so we went back for a sit down. We elected to eat in the cozy upstairs dining room, but we offered outside seating. The large screen TV was playing a concert from the national orchestra. Our guy was very interested in the concert and explained some of the components. It was very interesting. The two mains were delicious! We had a half liter of house white and a half liter of rosso. Both were locally sourced and spot on. $52 got us out the door! The prices in all of Tuscany for food is so much lower than the states. Expect to pay half in a restaurant and 1/3 less in grocery stores.

The crust was really light and chewy, but also thin enough to hold all the sauce and toppings. They were also quite giant! We also tried the limoncello spritz, but that wasn't our favorite. Overall, a great spot!

(3.5/5) Margherita Al Contrario - Went for a simple classic and this was delicious. It's different than the pizza in America and overall enjoyed it. (4.5/5) Overall an enjoyable spot for pizza. Note... the pizza are pretty big and we got two pizza for two people. Tons of leftover for us. We ended up spending 35 euro for two pizza. They gave us a small discount for paying in cash!

Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.
