The owner brought out a platter of fresh porcini mushrooms, allowing me to select my mushroom and preparation style; I went for simply grilled and it was devine. The veal scallopini was the best I've ever had. We tasted a variety of olive oils and enjoyed that. Prices were very reasonable. We are here another week and I'll make an effort to go back.

This being my wife's favorite, decided to make a special trip to San Gimignano just to try them out! We made reservations and I am glad we did because by 8pm, every table was full. The place is very small and dark, but they add a small LED light at each table giving just the right amount of light to read the menu. We reviewed the menu only to find that they no longer have gnocchi. She was disappointed at first, but absolutely loved her entree. We weren't vey hungry so no starters tonight, but they brought bread and some sort of potato fritter that had bits of octopus in it. I loved it, my wife stopped eating it when she found out about the octopus! She was fine before I told her. We order a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and I went for the wild boar ragu while the wife tried I Fagottini Del Contadino, pasta stuffed with pears & pecorino cheese in a saffron and pecorino sauce. Spectacular! The pear had a little sweet and the pecorino a little salt and the sauce was velvety smooth and delicious! My ragu was very hearty with lots of pork. Simply delicious. They had crème brûlée, which is my wife favorite. We still had a little wine left, so she ordered that and I got the double chocolate cake with orange marmalade. We both enjoyed our deserts very much. While they didn't have gnocchi, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

My husband and I were driving around the country side and stopped here for lunch on a whim. One…read morefamily has owned this place for years. I must say that we were astounded at the quality of the food and the hospitality of the owner. THIS is the real deal. Gorgeous terrace and view, many locals, attentive and proud staff. The food is fresh and very well prepared without the pomp (and price!) of the mainline touristy places. A previous review said that the service was slow, really? I had to laugh: this is Italy! Anyway we have squash blossoms fried to perfection with a light batter, delicious but simple steak with some kind of umami sauce, and....the best pane cotta I have ever had. The wine was from their vineyard and complimented the food nicely. Another review said the wine was "decent", well that's just right. Have 2-3 glasses and you won't even notice! Go here!

We started with a bottle of wine supper soft and delicious. Then my mom wanted to try a Zuppa and she got the Porcini one. She ate it all. I ordered a Marguerite pizza. I loved it. The crust was so soft and crunchy at the same time. It really tasted the best pizza for me. My friend ordered but I can't remember the name of their dishes. But they love the food as well. The service was great. They were very attentive and helpful. I really enjoyed everything. If I was to go back I would go back there.

Must try! This is Tuscan food!…read more Very careful service and great beverage choices. We were the first for lunch. We were in San G for the day and went by all the cafe joints etc and saw this down a small street from the busy square. It wasn't open till noon but I asked my wife to wait 15 minutes. Well I created a buzz of some older tourist couples and they couldn't wait to try to by the time it opened. We went to the loft dining above and one server for his best to get lunch service underway. It wasn't quick but oh well. We all waited and savored and in the end it was Tuscan porcini soup from heaven, a roasted beef entree that was great! My porchetta dish was good but overheated and dried out. I saw how they did it when we left and if I knew better I would ask for a slice not cooked again. So much rosemary flavor! The most impressive part was our Tuscan tureen sampler with sauces and really good breads. The bomb. This was a splurge lunch but so worth it! They also had the care to bring my bottle of beer(wife drink wine I don't) with a frozen plastic cell bag to keep the bottle cold while I drink from the glass. Very impressive but simple service. Salads and desserts from other tables looked awesome and some older fellow next to us must be on Lipitor given the huge meat and cheese plate he ate as his meal! Kind of jealous but that was a better share dish for the table compared to the well crafted dishes we chose. But please folks don't dry out a wonderful porchetta slice!!!

We parked down below the Coop and walked up. We stopped at this restaurant because it was the first one. This place is very small. We had to sit in a tiny table for two wedged between a table for four and the wall and the door to the toilet. I was in the corner against the wall and my husband was seated halfway blocking the door to the toilet. It's a good thing that service was good and the food was excellent. We ordered a beer and a glass of wine along with lasagna and Pici al Regolleto.
