THE BEST dinner in Italy from Venice, Florence, Bologna and Montalcino dinner…read more It is tucked away and also has a hotel attached. It is nothing fancy and ran be very few people. The service can be slow since there is only one waitress, however, the genuine experience, food and atmosphere is fantastic. There is no wine list, no specials written. The chef is amazing guy, perhaps 80 years old and shows how passionate he is about his restaurant and folks enjoying his cooking. The day we were there, one of the specials was tagliatelle with fresh truffles. The chef actually comes out after the waitress brings out the food and grinds the truffle over your plate. He looked so proud and happy while doing it too. The antipasto was the best one we had (hands down) and their pasta bolognese was so good that we ordered the gnocchi as well. Everything is home made and prepared to order, hence why it takes a while. We will definitely be back again (come to this region every other year)

La scelta di prodotti genuini, locali o prodotti in agriturismo, fa del ristorante la Limonaia un ristorante a km zero in Maremma Toscana. The main characteristic of the "La Limonaia" restaurant is its authentic dishes thanks to the vegetables that come directly from the country hotel's vegetable garden which determine the choice of menu, according to the seasonal vegetables which are available; thanks to the pasta and homemade bread and to the fine choice of wines, all coming from our Wine Cellar (Morellino di Scansano and Bianco di Pitigliano).

The menu is a perfect twist of Tuscan delicacies and Roman tradition with an added unique signature by the chef.

The little place has a lovely stone and vine patio that is off the street and quiet enough to talk, warm enough to stay awhile. I ordered the pasta that comes with mushrooms and bacon. I could almost hear the homemade pasta and sauces being created steps away from the table. My wife and I both agreed this was the best pasta we had in all of Italy. The flavor was perfect, something about the bacon mixed in just took it over the edge. Highly recommend. Finished the night off with their Tiramisu... A perfect end to a perfect trip.

We were seated next to the owner, a pleasant New Yorker with the cutest dachound Julietta. The restaurant is a bit more expensive than the trattorias but well worth it.

Everyone will tell you to order the burger here, and they're absolutely right. Surprisingly, the…read morebest burger I've ever eaten was the Bandita Burger at this Pienza restaurant. While the beef patty itself is exceptional, what elevates this dish is the generous layer of melted pecorino cheese on top. The truffle butter pasta is equally outstanding. The pasta tastes unmistakably fresh and handmade, with rich truffle butter coating every strand perfectly. Together, these two dishes easily satisfy two diners, especially since the burger comes with a side of fries. La Bandita Townhouse is a must-visit when in Pienza. Just remember to make a reservation in advance, particularly for dinner service.
