When we stopped by Il Giardinetto, it seemed very authentic and was super busy with everyone speaking Italian. The seating area is in the middle of the square and a great location. We ordered our standard vegetarian meal-bruschetta, pizza, and salad. The bruschetta was simply excellent with the perfect amount of salt, olive oil, and garlic. The pizza (tomato basil) was probably the best we had in Italy. The salad was good and fresh, very simple as we love it. This might have just been the best food we had in all of Italy. The prices were also super cheap. I think our whole meal was under 20 euro.

Perfect for a small, inexpensive snack to keep your belly happy while walking the steep city streets in Tuscany. I always order plain cheese and tomato pizza because I think the simpler the food, the easier it is to determine if it's a great place to eat or not. This pizza was just fine. Nothing too memorable but not bad either. It was appropriately greasy with olive oil and the crust had a nice crunchy yet chewy, thin texture. The little place was packed and seating, as with most places in Italy, was extremely limited.

If you don't want to eat inside, order your pizza and a bottle of wine to go!

We got our things settled and went for a walk and looking for an early dinner. We loved their pizza selections. We loved their dough selections (try their charcoal pizza crust). My husband and I could have full bellies with pizza and wine for like 10 euros total. So friendly was the service. We went back day after day and chose to have our "last supper" there. We'll never forget their hospitality and can't wait to see the family again. We LOVE Alla Vecchia Maniera. UPDATE: Another trip to Italy. For a two weeks we got to eat here almost every day. It's something we waited for an entire year. We just love this place. The family. The service. The pizza. The location. Pure love.
