We walked by the restaurant after an afternoon of sightseeing. The chef greeted us when we peeked…read moreinside to look at the open kitchen. He took our reservation for the late evening and was friendly and inviting. The dinner was wonderful. The name means "divine angle" - an allusion to the tucked away location at an angle off of the main street. It is also a pun on divine "da vino" suggestive of the well selected wines on the wine list and the nice atmosphere for drinking wine with dinner companions. When we returned for dinner, two of us selected a tasting menu based on fish while the other two ordered a la carte. The amuse-bouche was a fresh oyster and a second amuse-bouche appeared with a thin piece of bread with sardine. We enjoyed both. Even those who dislike sardines raved about the wonderful bread and simple salty and sea taste. We all enjoyed our meals from the terraced table. But we really enjoyed the atmosphere and watching the chef work his magic through the open front door and kitchen. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting a casual, but fine dining experience with a wonderful, secluded atmosphere. Great service as well.

This is for anyone wanting a fine dining experience with a quiet and homelike atmosphere. I highly recommend eating here with friends and family.

Excellent value for money offered by a one star Michelin restaurant!…read more No one of our group would have imagined that we will find a restaurant of the highest gastronomic standards in a very rural Italian area. Thanks to the guide Michelin we did. It did not only win one star, but also a price for great value for money. http://www.viamichelin.com/web/Restaurant/Pennabilli-61016-Il_Piastrino-144784-41102 Before we ordered, we discussed the details of the intended menu choice with the head waiter. Since we wanted to have a more filling menu, we were adviced to choose the menu called "Radici" instead of "1Mezzo". Instead of the only 6 courses of 1Mezzo (40€), the menu Radici turned out to have 3 additional snack courses (45€). Particularly these snacks were very delicious. The criticism in more detail: + Outstanding value for money + Very rich and filling menu + Most dishes good/very good, some stunning and excellent + Excellent expertise of waiter (both for wine, menu choice and dish explanations) + Very eager to provide a very good service + Great willingness to advise customer in advance via phone/email + Great ambiance and interior design + Arrangement of restaurant in different rooms creates pleasant feeling of privacy + Splendid for groups (Setting up a superior table for 17 persons -after reservation- was no problem whatsoever) - Great restaurant, but Michelin star not justified - Service sometimes not attentive enough (to wait several minutes until wine is refilled, experience some cutlery confusion, etc. is not appropriate for a one star Michelin restaurant) - Very poor English skills, hence communication cery difficult - At one dish there was a little worm (!) inside one of the cep/boletus slices. For a one star Michelin it is totally inacceptable. Unfortunately, the affected person did not let the waiters know about it. On the other hand it has to be mentioned that these mushrooms were handpicked and of the highest quality. Nevertheless, definetly a big no-go and setback of one star If this restaurant is judged as a normal restaurant (without taking into consideration the mishappenings), it would certainly deserve five stars. As a Michelin restaurant, it would deserve 3 or 4 Yelp stars, but due to the value for the price four stars are justified despite the mentioned incidents. Nevertheless, definetly recommended!

Among the traditional dishes: "taglieri" (mixed cold cuts and cheeses), tripe, noodles, ribs. For the most creative dishes I suggest you look at my photos. Excellent choice of wines: all the wines of the estate are offered both in the bottle and on the glass. In this period, dinner is outdoors, on the terrace or in the lakefront garden, so beautiful environment... and don't fear mosquitoes because ponds are disinfected every two weeks!

They serve typically Tuscan food and wine in an authentically dignified setting packed with a contented local clientele. At first sight it looks as if it might be dauntingly expensive but that needn't be the case...

Don't miss-out on the divine bread basket with its mouthwatering home-baked savoury selection from more-ish breadsticks to fragrant herb rolls. The local red wine is full bodied and deliciously warming. The bill comes as a happy surprise.
