The best pizza in Tuscany…read more I came here on a summer night and it felt like a foreign film; Italian families dining amongst the rolling hills of Tuscany, toasting one another with wine and generally enjoying life in a way that's somehow so effortless in Italy when the weather is warm. My Florentine companions tried to keep the constituent ingredients of the lardo pizza from me, thinking that I might be turned off by cured strips of fatback. (Boy, were they wrong!) When I squeezed the secret out of them I was even more excited to eat this pizza (which you should not miss). One of the most magical nights I've spent in Italy was dinner at Palazzo Pretorio. Absolutely worth the short trip from the center of Florence!

The menu is by and large neopolitan, which is fine by me because I happen to love the food of the South and it's a welcome change from the local fare. This is the best - I repeat: The Best Pizza in the entire area, bar none. If pizza is your thing, this is your place when you are in Chianti! My only criticism here is the service. While Giovanni, the pizziaiuolo, is an artist and all 'round great guy, the waitresses are slow and about as disineterested as can be. Try and get one of them to even pretend she cares! If the owners could clamp down on them, they'd have a perfect spot here (and 5 stars from me!)

We also had a salad and cheese plate as well as desserts that were good. The patio seating is nice unless there is a smoker nearby (which is not uncommon). We didn't have an issue though. The only downside was the incredibly slow service.

It appeared that the place was full of locales as we seemed to be the only English speaking patrons. The two pizzas, one margharita and one eggplant, were a true delight and the service/hospitality was even better. We would definitely recommend without hesitation. The best pizza that we've ever had in Italy and we have had plenty. Best wishes.

My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and I had the Diavola pizza with onions, mushrooms, and spicy salami. Both were excellent. The spaghetti was flavorful and cooked perfectly, while the pizza had one of the thinnest, crispiest crusts I've had in Italy--exactly the style I love. The toppings were generous and delicious. Just when we thought the meal was over, they brought us complimentary slices of chocolate cake, which were rich, moist, and the perfect ending. The food, service, and little extra touches made this a memorable experience. If you're in Greve in Chianti and looking for delicious pizza or pasta with friendly hospitality, I highly recommend Ristorante Pizzeria La Cantina. We'll definitely be back!

Because it was so convenient, we got to try it three days in a row: a fantastic 3-course dinner on day one, a delicious takeaway pizza on day two, and coffee and desserts on day three.

Sometimes when you're in a touristy area, the Resturant don't really care about the customers--but that is definitely not the case here. The owner is always on the floor, making sure everyone gets personal attention. It's a wonderful family-owned business, and it truly shows because this family genuinely cares. Highly, highly recommend!
