I have no bad words to say. amazing experience.

Gnudi was the highlight.

An incredible vista!!!Unfortunately, on the night we went. The service was poor, we were told by three waiters it was their first day, and that the head maître d' was sick (not information that should be share with guests, but I am not a local). The service was extremely slow, not up to the standards of a restaurant like this. Our food came out between 30 minutes and an hour and a half after ordering. That is one meal came out after 30 minutes and one meal came 90 minutes after it was ordered. We were told that since we did not have reservations, we should expect such a service, premium service (all food arriving at the same time) is exclusive to people with reservations, however, we did notice guests that had reservations getting their own utensils and menus an a bit annoyed. Some of the food was very good, unfortunately, not all. One dish was described as Wildboar. It tasted, to us like beef, poor quality beef at that (good enough for Americans). The staff insisted that the meat was high quality wild-boar and we were not sophisticated enough to know the difference. (We are sure it was not boar) Please try it, I assume they're service is going to be much better than the night we dined, it was a pretty epic failure on the wait staff and kitchen. This place does have the most epic Tuscan view.

I have some very mixed feelings about this restaurant. My husband and I hired a driver for the day…read morein Chianti to take us to some wineries, and he drove us here between the wineries for lunch. When we first pulled up, I was kind of excited because it was located on a hill and I was hoping for good views, but when we walked in, it was an ambiance killer. The patio area was in a bit of disarray, the patio was not open, but enclosed by glass windows that were cracked and the view was obstructed by bushes. We could see into the yard where there was an old foosball table, and a few other things, making it look a bit like a rummage sale. I honestly almost told the driver to take us away. It took us some time to get served which didn't make me any happier ,as I didn't want to waste my time there. When we did start to get served, it became obvious that it was family-owned, and the chef took pride in his food as he told us about the specials of the day. I chose a stuffed capellinni that was served with a smoked pumpkin sauce. The chef explained to me that the pumpkin had been smoked for six hours. My husband chose the trout that was cooked three ways. Afterward, they even brought him a trout fritter. I walked inside the restaurant to find the restroom. The inside of the restaurant was actually very cute with a campy, rustic feel with a lovely fireplace. It was much nicer than the patio. After lunch, the owner brought us some complimentary drinks and chocolates. At first, I thought is was grappa, but it seemed to be more of a homemade fermented tea. I really didn't care for it, but I thought it was a nice way to end a meal and showed the restaurant cared for customers. This place has potential, but they really need to take care of the patio area, and clean up the yard. I don't think I would ever go back, but it does seem to be a popular place with the locals.
